Hockey Player

The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

    He is extremely religious.
    His nickname 'Optimus Reim' is a total ripoff of the Optimus Prime character from Transformers.
    He didn't start playing organized hockey until his mid-teens and was only considered as a goaltender after his brother needed someone to shoot at.
    Despite growing up a Leaf fan, he stated he would prefer to be drafted by a team in the Sunbelt.
    His junior career statistics were less than impressive, which played a role in late round draft selection.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He persevered and proved his junior coach, Brent Sutter wrong and made the Rebels on the third try.
    He recorded a 20-10-5 record upon being called up to the Leafs.
    His play with the Leafs led to a cult following among Leafs fans.
    He was one of the few players from the John Ferguson, Jr. regime that materialized at the NHL level.
    His strong play led to an invitation to play for Canada at the IIHF World Championships (2011).
