Glad he decided to leave school early -- I think he made the right choice.

My summer vacation, by every other college hockey player in the NCAA: lifted weights, did some cardio, probably played some video games.

My summer vacation, by Johnny Gaudreau: scored first NHL goal, went to Belarus to represent home country, took some Germans to school, ate skittles.
