On Draftnight i was so exhausted from being nervous. I fell asleep right there in the hotelroom and didn't made it to the draft. When i woke up really early the next morning my phone was buzzing. Like none stop. But i kinda wanted to atleast relive the draftexpierience. So i opened up the replay of the entire draft with the expectation that I'd probably be picked at #21 by the Kelowna Knights or at #25 by the Yukon Malamutes, because that's what my guts told me. The draft started with a banger when the QCC blindsided everyone and picked my now teammate Rodwin at #1, which noone expected. The Draft went on and after pick #19 there was kind of a break and the moderators were swifting away and talked about other topics. I thought: "one more pick and then it's going to be me maybe better get my breakfast real quick". Just when i entered the room again, the next blindside happened: "With pick #20 of the S79 SMJHL Draft the QCC select RW Shiny Rainbow". I was stunned, happy, surprised, shocked, my jaw was on the ground. My Interview with QCC was probably just 5 sentences long and lasted 3 minutes, i even answered on my prospect questionaire that french was my worst nightmare. I grabbed my phone, thounds of spammessages from those of my friends who are owlets fans saying "one of us! one of us" they must have texted me this for hours. A last minute invitation from the Maine Timbers GM who wanted to meet me just before the draft. Well i was already asleep. And then the message i was looking for: An invitation to the QCC lockerroom for their big draft party with congratiulations for now being part of the QCC. It was several (not 7) hours old already. I left everything and directly rushed to the lockerroom. When i finally arrived and entered it was almost empty already. Empty glasses, empty bottle, empty plates. Only 2 people were left and still partying. I had no idea who they were, but i was hugged, i was greeted and welcomed and i was offered tons of drinks right away. But i still had to wait till afternoon to actually meet any of my new teammates or the QCC head staff.
