Early Life

Born in Vancouver British Columbia, he grew up in a family with only his mother and his older sister. His mother was a graphic artist who despised hockey. This is because her husband was killed while playing hockey. He was brutally beaten in a fight during his hockey career. Due to this she vowed to never let her children play hockey.  Her sister was an elite soccer player who was going to move to Europe to further her soccer career. He started to play road hockey at the age of 6 with his friends. He was a fast kid and he was the most skilled player on his street. He became hated by all the kids in his neighbourhood for being a ball hog. Once his mom found out about this she put a stop to it instantly and she was afraid he would want to try to continue and play ice hockey. At this age he had still never laced up in a pair of skates and had only played hockey on the street outside his house or a ball hockey rink that was their neighbourhood. By the age of 10 him and his family moved to Russia due to his mother receiving a job offer. He was furious about leaving his home in Canada and refused to go since he wanted to learn how to skate. His mother promised that he could learn how to skate in Russia and was then forced to leave.

 

 

Russia

Once in Russia and with his sister gone to Europe, his mother was worried about how he would adjust to the new language and culture in Russia but was hoping it would work out. His mother also signed him up for figure skating once they got to Russia as he had requested. His mother had thought he wanted it so that he would have something to do but he really only wanted to do this so he could learn how to skate so that he could play hockey. He became an excellent figure skater and was passionate about skating. He joined a junior league team in his town without his mother knowing and he became his teams top goal scorer. For the next few years he continued to play for the same team and continued to grow as a player without his mother ever noticing due to being busy with her new job. On the other side of things, he wasn't doing so well at school. He spent most of his time playing hockey  so he didn't do so well at his school. His mother never knew why he was struggling so hard. She assumed it was due to the language barrier so she took him back to Canada so he could study.

 

Back In Canada

Back in Canada he was back in school and playing hockey for a different team. All he wanted to do was play hockey, so he made a choice to focus on that. Without telling his mother he began to skip school. At the age of 14 he would tell his mother he was leaving to school but wait behind his house until she left for work. Once she left he would sneak back into the house to grab his hockey gear from his basement. He would then bike to his local ice rink and try to use a portion of the ice to practice on. Usually there would be teams practicing and would not let him use the ice. He would have to go to the ball hockey rink which he used to play in when he was little. He would practice shooting at a net for hours here since he couldn't work with other players or even skate. This went on for a whole year before his mother found out. He was yelled at for hours and his mother was extremely angry. She refused to let him drop out of school especially for hockey. A sport that she despised. After weeks and weeks of convincing, she gave in. She let him drop out and play hockey. Although she said if he gets hurt even once she would make him quit and go back to school. She expected him to make hockey his career if he was going to give up his education for it.

 

His Career

Now at the age of 15 he would wake up at 6:00 in the morning every day and practice hockey. This wasn't an easy task for him though. He was unmotivated at some points and wanted to quit. He then remembered that this was his only option since he has dropped out of school and made a promise to his mother. Other than training on his own he joined a local hockey league and became the star player for his team. His teammates slowly began to despise him because his coach favoured him over others due to his goal scoring ability. He also never passed the puck. He had passed the puck 5 times all season and 3 of those times were passes to himself off of the boards. Due to this he was often bullied by his teammates and given less passes and opportunities. Due to this reason he became frustrated with playing hockey since he would come on for a shift and just skate around tapping his stick for a pass but never got one. He realised he would have to change the way he played the game if he wanted to continue to play with a team. He then started passing the puck to his teammates. Since he became a team player, his teammates started to pass to him as well. The team he played for became one of the best in the league due to their teamwork and Dil was a major part of that success. He played on this team for the rest of the year until he turned 16 and was contacted by the intergalactic-starlord himself. (Jubo07) He signed a contract and became a member of the Las Vegas Aces in the VHLM.

Review:

You Never mention the name of your player in his whole bio Dills. That is actually quite the feat to achieve while writing a biography as  first and last name are kind of standard facts that are usually included in a Bio. I love that you decided to give you player a hard knocks story where he single mindedly decided to pursue hockey. I love how you incorporated some of the  Las Vegas locker room inside jokes into this bio.  Great job getting the beast out of the way

 

10/10 for creativity!

0/10 for Identifying who your player is...lol j/k
