Growing up, Grindle loved watching the best snowboarders carve the slopes like they were born strapped to a board. Sure, hockey has always been his number-one love, his main squeeze so to squeak, but let’s not pretend he didn’t have eyes for the halfpipe. If he’d never picked up a hockey stick, he’d probably be blasting backside 540s, trying to top the X Games podium. Would he actually go pro? Yeah, he would, because his unstoppable drive would carry over easily, and he’d dominate the locals. Confidence? he’s got it in spades, and the slopes would only fuel that. Another arena to conquer, no big deal. It might not match the rush of a game-winning goal, but it’s close. In an alternative timeline, he’d be just as flashy in neon snow gear, owning the mountain like his personal rink. Because at the end of the day, he’s Grindle, and he's unstoppable—on ice or snow.
