Xavier Doom comes from the not so hockey rich nation of Iceland. You’d think in a country with “ice” in the name, it’d be chock full of ice rinks, but that’s not the case. It’s actually pretty green (Greenland, ironically, is mostly covered in ice) and there isn’t a ton there for hockey upstarts. If you’re good at hockey, you usually end up in Norway or Sweden. However, for one moment at the 1992 Junior Goodwill Games, Team Iceland, led by coach Wolf “The Dentist” Stanton were dominating the tourney, and interest in hockey was at its peak back home. The star of the team was Gunner Stahl, who would eventually go home, and father a child, young Xavier. While Xavier would change his name from the very famous “Stahl” to “Doom”, it wouldn’t change his love of the game and his desire to be better at the sport than his father. It was this drive that got him to the SHL, and hopefully, to some more achievements. Preferably a Challenge Cup. (172)
