Janet Snakehole Road to VHLM

Janet Snakehole was born in Zurich, Switzerland to her parents Roger and Emily Snakehole. Banker, baker, and student by day and a garbage collection family by night the Snakehole's were always hard at work and did everything for their pristine swiss community to keep it clean and tidy. Once Janet was old enough to put on skates she was handling the puck as well. She had to cut her hair short to be a part of the U16 team in Zurich and she was the goalie on the Swiss Championship team, but sadly after that championship an internal audit of player documents revealed that she was in fact a female and her and her family were banished from Switzerland.

 

The family decided to move to the united states to Pawnee Indiana, as the garbage collecting hobbyist's heard they have one of the best local municipality systems in the US. Just to lay low for a bit Janet decided to forgo playing any hockey during high school. She started a position at the local parks and recreation department, but knew in her heart she wanted to get back into Hockey. One of her co-workers at her job, Andy Dwyer was on a men's league team at the local rink and she decided to stop by a game to watch him skate. Needless to say, she was instantly brought back to her time in Switzerland and she decided to sneak back in and play once the next season began.

 

She sported a fake mustache, mullet wig, and made sure to put on her best masculine voice. She decided it would be easier to switch to defender as the goalie was pretty set for most of the teams. She ended up on a pretty solid team, and she soon became one of the top defenders in the league. One day after a U18 game at the local rink, one of the scouts that was left from the game prior stuck around at the bar and watched the mens league team as his flight to Saskatoon was delayed. He was pleasantly impressed with the play of Janet and decided to drunkenly ask her for some information after her game. Janet took his information and found out after reading his card that this was a scout for the VHLM, whatt!!!!! It was her dream as a kid to breakout into the VHL.

 

She contacted him and decided to come forward that she was actually a girl but with all the recent changes to the league the scout was still able to secure a workout and tryout for the upcoming scouting combine. Janet flew to Dubai and was pushing so hard to show her talent. All those years of waste management paid off for her, she was so light on the skates as you need to be when running down the street to pick up bins. She took her life skills of smashing overfilled bins and brought it into her checking fundamentals. It was such an unusual mechanics demonstration some of the other prospects laughed, but they got laughed out the door when Janet secured the 5th best defender grade. Janet is so excited to get her start in the VHLM and ready to punk some kids.
