Viktor got to make the interesting choice to transfer from his home federation to Ireland for international tournaments very, very early on in his career. Most would say it was so that he had a better chance at earning a medal while he was in his prime, but quite literally all it took was some friends saying "hey, wanna come play with us?" and some paperwork. And while he was born and raised initially in Great Britain, Viktor's family moved to Canada in part for his hockey career, so he's already kind of a mish mash of cultures himself (not that it's a terribly huge stretch going from GB to colony, to yet another colony). Regardless, the biggest change in Viktor's life happened after he was drafted to the Quebec City Citadelles. A whole new language had to be learned, and quickly. He instantly became a poutine addict, and he went on to develop an enormous appreciation/obsession with the Montreal music scene. Please don't tell anyone in Quebec City that last part.
