Khalfani is from the hot lands of South Africa, so moving to Kelowna has been a pretty big change for him personally as it has gone from hot all the time to cold and snow. This has definitely been a learning curve that has thrown him for the loop. At the same time, just about everything is overwhelming! Talk about taking a little fish out of his pond and sending him to the ocean. It is a good thing that the GM who drafted Khalfani has the patience of a true gentleman knight that has taken it on personally to make sure that Khalfani is welcomed with open arms and truly acclimates to the city. When Khalfani first arrived at the stadium where he was set to play, he was immediately shocked by how far the seats go. Back in Namibia he would consider himself lucky the national team even got 100 people to attend their practice sessions. Now he will be playing for a much larger crowd as he proudly proclaims his nations ability to join this world of ice sports.
