A tale of two Brothers // inter-season interview, part 4

Saratoga Steele, our US east coast correspondent, was tasked to get into touch with Marcel Janser. According to Daniel, his younger brother spends his off-season break at the Lake Chicamacocimo fishing.

 

As Saratoga is more of a city person, she reached out to Marcel via videocall on his mobile, as it would be difficult to find the young Swiss on or at this vast body of water.

 

SS: 'Hi Marcel, thanks for your time. How are you?'

MJ: 'Right as rain, I am, thanks. Just reeling in a big 'un.'

 

SS: 'Should I call later, when it is more convenient?'

MJ: 'No, no that is just fine. I'll get the bastard, come rain or high water.'

 

SS: 'Marcel, your brother is enlisted in the JST, the Pro-Am and the WJC, while you were not considered for either. Does that bother you?'

MJ: 'No, not at all. Hockeywise, Dan has always been the more ambitious and talented of the two of us. I am really happy for him, because for him, there is no such thing as 'too much Hockey'.'

 

SS: 'That pretty much confirms what he told us in a previous interview. You seem to be of a different opinion?'

MJ: 'I would not go that far. I think that life is short and that we only have one, as far as we know. So why not enjoy it to the fullest? See, Daniel's only passion is Icehockey. So why not invest your heart and soul in it? I am more diverse in my pastimes, I enjoy obviously hockey, but fishing and going to movies give me as much pleasure as the former. So I spread it a bit and enjoy fishing with friends in summer and hockey in winter. My brother spends the summer either in exhibition games or in the gym to prep for the season. And that is okay, as he seems to enjoy that as much as I enjoy fishing.' 'Frank, are you sure this perch is supposed to be 30 inches? And what is that nonsense with the third eye? Nah, cut him loose, I ain't gonna eat that, for sure.'

 

SS: 'When will you be back in Vasteras? What is your schedule until the season prep starts?'

MJ: 'I will fly back to Sweden next week. As we speak, builders are renovating the flat I bought. Nothing serious, some minor changes to the layout and a fresh coat of paint. After that, skating starts again to make this coming season better than the past.'

 

SS: 'Okay, thanks for your time and wishing a good catch to you.'

MJ: 'That is mighty kind of you. Thanks for catching up with me.'
