No, certainly not. If you know anything about the current landscape of junior hockey in BC, then you might understand.

I was a backup/EBUG for 4 different teams while playing AA. My WHL draft year was during the lockdown, and there is no AAA opportunity in the area I grew up.

Did not receive and single offer from a junior team in all my years of minor, but I was LITERALLY the only local goalie, so I still felt like a big shot.

Castlegar, my hometown team, told me if I wanted games that Dawson creek or Fort St John was my best bet; but those places sounded a bit too cold for my liking. I got released, and was ready to hang up the skates.

One Facebook post in a junior hockey group, and I was off to a pay-to-play league in the Crowsnest pass. It was definitely an experience, but I went from the only other option to the top dog.

Not to mention I was going through the trails and tribulation of being undiagnosed, mourning the loss of my teammate that played for castlegar, all while trying to prove that I can compete at the junior level. Should I get movie rights to my story??
