And as I got older and I continued to learn the French language more, I watched a lot of French language broadcasts where you'd watch the Canadians.

And that's how a lot of people, a lot of Anglophones watch.

Who, you know, who happen to live in Quebec, who might not know the language as well.

That's an easy way for them to learn how to speak French.

Like that helped me a lot with learning how to speak French as a kid.

So I think a lot of that had to do with my upbringing.

The fact that hockey matters so much in the home city I'm from.

And the fact that.

I don't know, just I embraced it for what it was because everyone around me embraced it.

And even if my family members were not always the most devout hockey fans, my dad and I, we'll watch hockey on TV sometimes together.

My grandfather, he immigrated to Canada from Jamaica.

And he ended up being a Boston Bruins fan.

Like, he didn't see himself in the Montreal Canadiens fan base.

He saw himself as a Bruins fan.

Like, hockey has just always been a big part of my life.

And it has given me so much as a journalist and a soon-to-be author.

So, yeah, it's just always been a big part of the video games.

I didn't even mention all the NHL video games I played as a kid.

Like, it's just been such a big part of my life growing up.

So, yeah, I think it had a lot to do with everything I was exposed to growing up.
