Today we take a look at the young aspiring power forward Blant Chorski from Riga, Latvia and how life would be for him if he wasn't following his hockey dream.

Growing up, Blant Chorski loved two things, baking and playing hockey. When he wasn't out playing hockey with his friends, he would often spend the holidays and weekends baking with his mother. Everything from breads, pastries and decadent desserts. He always had a sweet tooth and his mother thought he was born with the skill of becoming a world class baker. Blant's mother was heartbroken when he decided to pursue a career in hockey and not baking delicious foods for the world to enjoy. She has no doubt in her mind that if things were different, Blant would have become that world class baker she knows he could be.

Blant hasn't totally given up on his love for baking though and still brings home baked treats to the boys in the locker room on those off days he has from practice. Sometimes, he even bakes treats for the opposing teams to enjoy.

We asked Blant what he would be doing if hockey wasn't the answer and he confirmed, baking. He said that he would have probably opened a bakery in his hometown of Riga and sold a menagerie of decadent sweets and treats to the locals. When asked his favourite home baked treat, he simply replied with "Rye Bread Soup of course!" For those that don't know, Rye Bread Soup is made from rye bread, whipped cream, dried fruit and cranberries.
