AirRig GoodBrandSun

 

The GoodBrandSun Family have a heritage, generational lineage since the time of the British Colonials. They were a proud sports related family, where each generation had found themselves geniuses in any categories of sport! AirRig GoodBrandSun was born and raised in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. AirRig grew up playing in all sorts of different sports, unable to find what suited him the best. When AirRig was young, he had always been bigger than his peers. Easy to tell that AirRig found freedom to play big positions in many sport teams and leagues, whether it's American Football, Football (Soccer), Baseball, Basketball, and Hockey. AirRig have always loved the feeling of skidding across the ice and crashing the boards whenever he couldn't stop in his tracks, as he was never a really good skater. Mobility on ice is an issue for big fellas. Never the less, AirRig always took someone else out with him. Coincidentally, hockey have always been AirRig's first choice of sports to play in, even though AirRig has always been worse at hockey.

Unlike his brothers who took the initiative to play in sports they excelled in, AirRig GoodBrandSun choice the sport of hockey. Day in and day out, AirRig could be found first at the rink early in the morning, even before the sun rise, and last to leave late at night after the sun set. His brothers teased him regularly and his family criticizes him as well, saying AirRig you're ruining our family name! Just go play Football (American), what you're good at! AirRig has always ignored them and did his thing. Played hockey. At age 13, AirRig went on boarding school to Western Canada to play hockey. Learned lots from his hockey family where he stayed. It was the good times, but as he never had a teacher for hockey, his skills were a tier behind. Unable to make the AAA teams, etc. AirRig found his passion playing against older men, whether it's community beer leagues or college students. AirRig had always looked older than his age, plus he had the size. Who would have guessed he was 16 playing against people a decade or more older than him!

 

Age 19, AirRig finally found himself playing hockey against people who were more of his peers. AirRig has joint the NCAA college hockey after heading south of the border into the United States. For the first time in a long time, AirRig began to see a difference in his game. He's no longer a child in a man's body playing against men, he's playing against peers who are similar to himself, at least age-wise. From his experience playing against seniors who had years of talent, AirRig caught up on all the deficiencies of his previous lack of experience. AirRig learnt the importance of playing defense while skating against the older men as a teenager, and learnt the game from players who couldn't make it to the Pros but had the experience of trying and failing. As he played more against fairer competition, AirRig got better and better. He's now found himself playing in the VHLM as a free agent and heading into becoming a possible high draft pick in the upcoming VHLM draft. Only time will tell where AirRig's journey will go. Maybe the GoodBrandSun family will finally stop teasing and criticizing AirRig!
