The Kelowna Knights elected to draft Cyrus the Virus in the SMJHL rookie draft. Upon strolling up to the locker room, bag in hand, the Virus walked into pure jubilation that such a hockey presence had entered the locker room. Fellow draft pick Polah Bergeron was ecstatic to see another Bruins fan enter the room. Despite this, the Virus immediately put him in his place regarding the infamous Goalie Hug, stating that the hug is one of the most overblown stories of the NHL season. Remaining members also expressed welcome, but many were confused because the expected the Virus to be a goaltender. The Virus had to let everyone know that he had a last minute change of heart. "I may not be the expected netminder, but I look forward to playing elite defense, and dishing you all the puck to pad your goal stats." Everyone cheered, and the celebration concluded with the entire team belting KernKraft 400 by Zombie Nation.
