According to sport interested fans, the transition from Figure Skating to Hockey is actually really hard, because the skates are different, still he is able to perform spins that would be almost impossible to do in hockey skates.

* SourOutsideSadInside: At first, he is very aggressive towards Bittle, even after all other members of the team receive him with open arms. We also learn his history very early on in the comic, so we know he is not in the best state.



* TrueCompanions: He is this particularly to Jack, Lardo and Bittle, later on, as he is the first one Bittle ever came out to.
