Wann Kerr junior review

[VattghernCZ 976]

   Wann Kerr was born in a town near Karlovy Vary, Czechia, to parents who had no connection to ice hockey. He was introduced to hockey when his mother - never married to his father - started dating a coach of a beer league hockey team. But among his peer, he's never stood out in any way, no one would have guessed by then that being a professional player would end up being his career choice.

 

   Most of his junior hockey career he spent playing in the net out of necessity, but he was jealous of forwards being able to score. To a great displeasure of his coaches, he would then try to skate with the puck and try to score after every save he would make. Eventually these antics would grant him the desired position change.

 

   When Wann Kerr was of middle school age, a major traumatic even happened in his life - he learned the meaning of a certain english insult that's pronounced the same way as his name. His parents couldn't have known - neither of them could speak english, they just liked the name Wann. Unfortunately, his teammates learned the meaning as well, and being little pricks, they would start bullying him which eventually led to Wann Kerr being discouraged from playing team sports.

 

   With more free time now that he didn't play hockey anymore, he would pick up some new hobbies. He would start playing the bass and electric guitar and forming a one-man metal band at 15, that's still active to this day. He also had some success in competitive angling, but decided to stop after being made fun of by british anglers at international championship. So he's sold his fishing gear and bought his first motorbike and his first snake. To this day, motorbikes, reptiles and music are his biggest passion.

 

   But it was like if he couldn't avoid hockey. He went to study to become exotic animals vet assistant and started dating a girl who was a mad hockey fan. To impress her, he would join a hobby ice hockey team, which turned out to be a bad idea. Or at least introducing his girlfriend to his teammates was, because she would leave him for one of them. So he quit playing ice hockey once again, and rather focused on his studies.

 

   The studies worked out great for him, he excelled in every subject. During that time, he would really think about his goals in life and realized his biggest dream was running the biggest and the greatest reptile zoo the world has ever seen. But that would take a lot of money to build. Who's paid really well? Ice hockey players, he realized. Especially the ones playing in the VHL. So there he was, buying hockey gear once again and applying for a roster spot in the VHLM.
