Kurt, the Janser Brothers' father, was sitting at his desk overlooking the Lake Ontario, sighting scout reports for the S83 dispersal draft, when his phone rang with an unknown caller at the other end. Reluctantly he answered the call, just to be surprised to have Minion, one of the World Cup of Hockey's executives, on the line.

A little puzzled he said: 'How can I help you, Minion?'

Minion cut to the chase immediately: 'We want you to coach Team World on this year's World Cup.'

KJ: 'Don't get me wrong, this is a great honour, but are you sure you are talking to the right person? Have you seen the season records of the Hounds?'

Minion: 'Absolutely. We have noted how the young players in your team developed. Further, no-one had anything bad to say about you. Plus, we know you speak three languages, which certainly is a bonus when coaching a multi-national team.'

KJ: 'Consider me interested then. So when will it start?'

Minion: 'Next week.'

KJ: 'This does not give me an awful lot of time to nominate a team and to prepare for the tournament. I love it. I am all in.'

Minion: 'Good. We will send you a list of eligible players asap, so you can start with your nominations and preparation.'

KJ: 'Alright then, will see you there. Thanks for this opportunity.'

Minion: 'It is our pleasure, meet you there.'

 

And this how Kurt Janser unexpectedly landed one of the most coveted assignments in the VHL. To participate in the chase against well-known and experienced competitors for a World Cup title and undying glory.
