In an alternative universe, Sebastien Levesque would have some paths open to him that are not hockey as his interest in the sport developed when he was 7 years old, right after moving to Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. If that was not the case, Levesque would have had quite an athletic career elsewhere, I’d say.

First of all, his love for tennis and football (soccer) are well documented. His tennis skills were above anyone in high school and he has had some success in local tournaments at their highest level of competition, so that could have an alternative path. However he always saw tennis (and to a lesser extent, soccer) as hobbies to clear his mind and have competitive fun, not as a career, especially since climbing the tennis ladder is extremely difficult and expensive;and soccer is so huge, the level of competition is extremely deep.

The realistic alternative path would have been following the pro wrestling route, as it runs deeply within his family; with a cousin from his dad's side is one of the most successful pro wrestlers ever and basically runs the biggest company in the industry. It goes without saying, that path has always been open for him. Would he have been ashamed of it? No, not at all. He has always been a fan of the industry and has great respect for the performance and storytelling aspect of professional wrestling. His family would have supported him 100%, and nepotism would have played an aspect in his success in the industry, as is customary in this line of work for better or for worse.

In conclusion, Sebastien would have taken the pro wrestling route had hockey not been this successful for him so far. And hey, if he bombs in the minor league when he’s drafted, he will always have that cushion to fall on.
