WRITTEN OPTION #2
If you look up extrovert in the dictionary, you're not going to find a picture of Matviy Cajabi. Quiet by nature, he's not often one to seek out the limelight. Of course, when you play sports at higher levels, it becomes increasingly harder to avoid being recognized. Cajabi was able to maintain his anonymity for the better part of his first season in Anchorage, being a relative unknown and rookie for the Armada. Playing in the shadows of stars like Ubba Lodbrok, that anonymity extended onto the ice as well. However, Cajabi's name carries a little more weight going into his second season in the SMJHL, particularly after his recent showing at the SHL draft. Armed with a firmer grasp of the English language and knowledge of what it's going to take to become a star now and in the future, he's opened himself up to becoming a larger part of the community and working on his "brand". With Cajabi remaining in Anchorage during the offseason to concentrate on his training, he decided to get involved with some local charity efforts. Among those, he's been working with BBBS Anchorage (Big Brothers Big Sisters). Having grown up as an only child, the idea of devoting some of his time to helping the organisation was a no-brainer. Whether he's introducing the youngsters to the game of hockey or just mucking around, he always has a smile on his face. He's even been able to talk the Armada organisation into setting aside a block of tickets for one game a month so that the kids can come down and take in the game first-hand and see Cajabi fly on the ice. His community work, combined with a classic turn as "awkward hockey player" in a local ad for Northwest Sneaker (Cajabi is a bit of a sneakerhead), Cajabi's becoming a bit more of a household name among these parts. His role should be expanded for the Armada this year as well, so make sure to get your hands on one of his jerseys before they sell out.
