If there is one thing young Lyle likes almost as much as hockey, it's travelling. So when he heard about he upcoming games in Japan, he couldn't have been happier. A little known fact about Lyle, is that he is loves watching game shows. It doesn't matter if it the Newlywed Game from the 70's or the 100,000 Pyrimad with Michael Strahan, he will watch it and enjoy it. One show that was one of his favourtie as a kid was the 'game show' MXC (Most Extreme Challenge). He learned a long while ago that this wasn't actually the same a the real Japanese show, Takeshi's Castle, but still loved it anyways, and broadened his knowledge of Japanese game shows in general. When he found out that he would be going to Japan to play, it was actually him that contacted the Japanese game shows to see he could make an appereance. He was thrilled when they all accpeted, now he just has to figure out how to fit this all in, on top of his actual job playing hockey!
