You may be correct on him reporting half-way through his first season (I thought it was his second), but there was a big squabble over him not reporting and had nothing to do with him moving from Quebec to Nova Scotia. That's the line all the top prospects use when a Maritime team drafts them. At the time it was pretty widely considered that he wanted two things. A huge "education" package and that he wanted to play in Quebec with his buddy and Midget linemate Anthony Duclaire. Of course when Halifax refused to trade him and eventually got him to report, this all became water under the bridge when he started to light up the score board and all the Moosehead fans pretended like it didn't happen.
