As a junior player, Esa Parmborg spent the week with his big brother Barry Batsbak! Barry is a player that Esa looked up to ever since he was drafted by Calgary a few seasons back and has set an excellent example of what a player should be and has shown a great work ethic and attitude. Exactly the kind of player Parmborg wants to be when he grows up. The week started with Parmborg moving into Batsbak's apartment in Calgary, Barry set up an air mattress for him which was a big step down from Parmborg's usual king size XL bed, this was meant to teach Parmborg humility. Each morning Barry would make Esa run 5 miles and make him eat a healthy breakfast of fruits and some other weird food he didn't even know what it was, egg whites maybe? This was a big change from Parmborg's normal left over pizza and fried baked ziti for breakfast. Bastbak was trying to teach Parmborg that healthy eating fuels the body and allows you to perform at top level on the ice. Batsbak then would take him to a homeless shelter where they would help serve lunch to those less fortunate, this was a good learning experience and made Parmborg realize how lucky he was to be a professional hockey player and not take anything for granted. Word is Esa snuck a couple chicken cutlets into his pockets from the homeless shelter buffet but this can't be confirmed at this time. After giving back to the community Barry and Esa would play video games together before heading to practice, NHL 19 on PS4 and Barry would never let Esa win, again teaching him you have to work for your victories, nothing is given to you in life. Overall the week was very humbling and educational for a young 7'0" 350 pound Esa Parmborg, he even lost a few pounds from all that darn healthy eating. Barry Batsbak really has his shit together and was a great mentor, he's well on his way to becoming a star in the league and Parmborg will be looking to follow suit. Thanks for a fun week @Katth but you could have let Esa eat a couple parms for breakfast.
