when the SHL came to Boris about the big brother program, he took a bunch of names in a hat, closed his eyes, and picked one. @omenolson was the lucky winner! Vancouver being a proper, well respected SMJHL city, Boris had to teach Marcus what real toughness is. Showing up to Marcus' condo (how he got the address is still a mystery) with the Ukrainian mafia by his side. Marcus opens the door to see five men in tracksuits, who knock him out immediately with a vodka bottle. After a few hours, Marcus wakes up in his own custom track suit along with a bloody jaw. Looking around he sees he's in a cage, WITH A BEAR?!?! Marcus was in shock, and screamed without thinking,  the scream startles the bear and now it feels threatened. Letting out a loud roar it charges at Marcus (being 180lbs, he looks like a toothpick compared to this bear). With fear in his eyes, Marcus doesn't run, but he charges at the bear head on. BOOM, Marcus gets absolutely wrecked by this bear. Mounting itself on top of Marcus, the bear just stares at him and smells him, and then... licks him?  "перестаїн" is shouted from the back.  The bear gets off of Marcus and is then thrown a fish. Boris emerges from the shadows and says "You got knocked on your ass, but you took it like a man. being a rookie in the SMJHL, the bigger, older guys are going to run all over you. But you didn't run away, you faced your fear even though every instinct in your body told you to run. THAT is what is going to make you a great SHL player. Keep fighting the beasts, until you become one yourself". Boris then opens the cage, and European techno starts playing and all these men and women in tracksuits come out of nowhere and all these flashing lights come one. "LET THE CELEBRATION BEGIN!". Vodka shots were immediately handed out to everyone, including Svetlana the bear, Boris' personal pet bear.

Boris had planned this from the beginning and held a promotional "bear night" at the club he owns in Ukraine. Marcus' life was changed after this night. For better or for worse, we don't know, but we like to think he had a great time.
