CGY Janser's reflection

[Daniel Janser 2,132]

It is very early morning on his very first day as a Hound. Nobody is yet in the stadium, when the Swiss defender opens his duffle bag and starts putting his equipment in his locker. Same has not a proper tag on it yet. His name and jersey number, his favourite number seven, is only written on a piece of duct tape. While he is stowing away his odd bits, he wonders, whether this locker, the one between Gonçalves' and newly arrived Holmquist's, is the same locker his dad occupied during his time with the Hounds. Or maybe uncle Marcel's? It is certainly the same lockerroom where his gramps told his padrinho Leandro that he will be traded to Mexico. Somehow, this city in Ontario, not far off to the Legion's hunting grounds, seems to attract his family.

Which is a good thing, come to think of it, as he has at least a place to stay. He has spent many a long weekend in Kurt's log house at the banks of Lake Ontario. And now this is his temporary home for the remainder of the S89 season, before he knows where he will play next season. In the VHLM? In Europe? Or will it turn out that he is not cut out to be a hockey player and will take up the job he was offered by a renowned shipyard? Only time will tell. When he finished filling his locker, he heads for the door, turns around once more and whispers 'Soon'. Then he switches off the light and leaves for a warm up jog.
