Waking up after falling asleep at home due to the fact Cauliflower Pizza dropped so late in the draft, he noticed that he had been selected by the San Diego Tidal. Pizza was sent a ticket via email by the GM and he was soon on the plane to San Diego. Upon landing in San Diego no ride had been arranged to get him to his hotel. Pizza being new to the city and not really knowing much English decided to map directions and walked 6 hours to his hotel. The next morning a bus picked him up and brought him to the rink where he met his new team. There was a bit of tension in the room due to the fact that the tidal had selected two goalies in this years draft. Pizza thinking he was the better choice of the two picked a locker furthest away from his goaltending partner. Pizza would finish the day avoiding any contact from anyone on the team and management. He spent the remainder of the week in his hotel refusing to leave and go to any team meetings during the offseason.
