Weather was nice in Madeira. Derek was chilling in the villa with his family, wife and two daughters, whilst protégé Demir Bellona (@Kalakar) was still snoozing hard, oh to be young again and have no responsibilities. Its to be said that Derek took Demir under his wing when young blood was coming up through the junior hockey ranks, and the family has really taken a liking to this young, slightly abrasive, talent. Lo and behold, Derek's phone rings, its @FuzzSHL.

- Hey listen, sorry to do this to you but um... we're in a bit of a pickle. Our sponsors are a bit unhappy with us as we didn't sell enough hot-dogs and nacho's last season, something about our healthy foods policy. Anyways, there's this hot-dog eating competition we're hosting to make up for it and we'd need you to come back to promote it.

- Fox... are you serious now? Hot-Dogs? You know that's not something I go for, not something I enjoy in life. Plus, i'm in Madeira with the family, can this wait?

- I'm afraid not. I wouldn't ask if this wasn't important, i'm a bit in the hot seat here, help me out and i'll owe you one.

- Fine, i'll be there as soon as I can.

It isn't easy being a captain, but its a job that Derek takes seriously. Off to support hot-dogs he was, but @FuzzSHL owed him big time now.
