Homecoming

[Hacob 28]

He immediately opened his phone and texted an old teammate, "Yo, Jacobcarson is becoming the Houston GM!?". He got a reply back shortly that read "Yeah, just wait a bit though lol." Confused, Feka Ohi Kau put down his phone and got into his football workout. After he exited the weight room, he decided to check is phone and he saw another ESPN notification, "AJW hired as assistant GM in Houston". Immediately, his mind went racing. Houston had felt like home with AJW, and Yukon had certainly felt like home with Jacobcarson as well, maybe this combination would bring the spark he was looking for?

 

He got out his phone and texted his current GM, "Hey, any chance you can get me back to Houston?". He got a response back shortly, "possibly, let me see what I can do." "Well", Feka thought, "at least there might be a chance."

 

As the offseason continued and Feka began to wrap up his final DSFL season in Tijuana, he was in the back of an Uber to the Toros' training facility in Cancun when he got a text from AJW, "Welcome back brother!". All throughout his training session in Cancun, all he could think about was how excited he was to arrive back in Houston for his first practice back. As soon as he got out, he raced back home and jumped in his car, bolting it to Houston. 

 

Feka made record time to the Bulls training facility, hastily opening the door and slamming it shut, before popping the trunk, hoisting his duffel bag onto his shoulders, and rushing in. As he entered the facility, he was immediately greeted by AJW and Jacobcarson, with whom he talked for what seemed like hours before heading over to the locker room, getting on his practice gear, and catching up with his old teammates. Once AJW entered the locker room and gave a pre-practice speech, Feka immediately knew this is where he belonged. The excellent culture that AJW could build, coupled with Jacobcarson's good culture and elite team building, development, and coaching, were going to be a dangerous combo for the rest of the league, and a dangerously fun team environment. 

 

After weeks of practice, their first game had finally arrived. He rolled into the parking lot and exited his, dressed in his stereotypical Hawaiian shirt made by his mom back in Niue. As he walked into the locker room and started to get prepped, he realized that he definitely felt more at home. Hockey was finally fun again. Sure, maybe Houston would not be a cheat code to a championship like Philly was, but at least if they could or could not accomplish the ultimate goal, he would be doing it surrounded by some of his favorite coaches and teammates. 

 

As his skate touched the ice for warmups, all he could do was smile. He skated around with pure joy, listening to the buzz that filled the arena as the fans got to their seats. He was finally back home.
