Jebediah Big Ol Doinks in Amish - Defenceman

Island Living
Born on the small island of Saint Lucia, Jebediah Big Ol Doinks in Amish became perhaps the first kid ever from the nation to fall in love with the game of hockey. Cricket and football are by far the most popular sports among the youth there, but Jebediah was unlike anyone else. His family had gone on vacation to Canada when he was just five years old and went to see a VHL game and he instantly fell in love with the fast paced, action packed sport. He begged his parents to buy him all of the equipment he needed to play himself, but he was from Saint Lucia! Hockey was among the least popular sports in the entire country, there's no way he would be able to get what he needed to play. Shortly after returning from that vacation, however, Jebediah would receive some of the best news he could possibly wish for. His dad had accepted a new job offer to go work at a company that is based in Canada! Before the family was even settled in their new home, Jebediah was constantly bugging his parents to sign him up for hockey. Finally, after what seemed like forever in Jebediah's eyes (it was actually only two weeks), his parents gave in and signed him up to play in the next season.

The Doink Wars
It didn't take long to realize that Jeb was a natural born hockey player. He took to the ice like he was born with skates on his feet, and was miles ahead of anybody else his age. By the time he was 8 years old, he was playing against kids two to three years older, and still managed to dominate every step of the way. He was bigger, he was faster, and he faced almost no challenge his entire minor league career. He quickly developed into a very skilled offensive defenceman that was no slouch on the defensive side either. It was clear to see that if Jebediah really wanted to, he would be destined for a spot in the VHL. But with the lack of a real challenge, a little bit of complacency started to creep in for the elite level defenceman. This is when Jebediah formed a deep love for big ol doinks. Every day he would smoke big doinks, go to the hockey rink, and still be the obvious best player on the ice. It was like living in a dream for Jebediah. His work ethic dropped to an all time low, but his performance was never hindered. Jeb knew he was a lock to be drafted into the OHL. Then the draft came around, and he kept falling, and falling, and falling, only to go undrafted and be left devastated at what just happened to him. What was he going to do? His whole life had led up to this day, but it all came crumbling down around him.

Revenge of the Doinks
Jebediah immediately packed his bags and returned back to his native country of Saint Lucia. He swore to never again wear a pair of skates, and instead he did what he knew best. He smoked big doinks. The days flew by one after another. Big doink after big doink. Before he knew it, years had passed and he was slowly wasting away. Nobody knows how it happened, not even Jeb himself, but one day he woke up with the passion renewed. He was determined to prove all of the doubters wrong. He wanted to prove that you could smoke big doinks and have a successful hockey career! It wasn't long before Jeb had made his way back to Canada, put the skates back on, and started preparing for a triumphant return. It was like he had never even stopped playing. Jebediah immediately felt right at home, and was positive he was ready to make the leap.

A New Doinks
Being out of the game for so long left Jebediah in a bit of a limbo, he was too old to join any junior programs and had to sell himself as a player worthy of earning a place on a VHLM team. He went from city to city, pitching himself to any team that would listen, and attending open practices whenever he could. Jeb did his best to convince the scouts that he could still perform at the levels he did in minor hockey, but he was not sure anybody would believe him. Surprisingly, there was some interest shown, and that was all Jeb needed to confirm this was what he wanted to do. He had missed the draft, but Jebediah entered the league through the waiver program, and he settled upon Houston as his new home. The team looked solid, there was a spot for Jeb to fill, and there was plenty of talent to surround himself with to sharpen up his game. It is now up to Jebediah Big Ol Doinks in Amish to prove his worth, and show the world what he has always been capable of.
