Chicoutimi

Yeah.

We also spent a year about in Chicoutimi, Quebec, because that's where my parents went to French school to learn French.

Okay.

As a child, I remember my dad always still said bottle like a Canadian, like a French-Canadian instead of like the rest of the world says bottle, which is they say bouteille and you're supposed to say bouteille.

And then Maritime teams play Maritime teams.

But the conferences are, you have the six Maritime slash Atlantic teams are in the same conference with Quebec, Chicoutimi, Baycomo, and Rimouski.

So in terms of the powers, I think there is a real, real concentration in the Maritimes this year.

And then of those four Quebec-based teams that are in the Eastern Conference, Quebec is very strong.

curious.I think because, you know, growing up in, uh, where I did, there was a lot of doubters.

Um, I, I think there's a tendency to, uh, when you grow up, and, and, and, you know, maybe especially in Canada, when if you're not doing something that just says Canada, uh, you know, which is, like, maybe, uh, uh, Celtic fiddle music from, from, you know, the Atlantic side, um, playing blues in the middle of, um, the prairies, or even playing Irish music, uh, there was just a certain amount of, "Oh, well, when, w- when you get a real job [laughs], or, or when, you know, when this dream of yours subsists, maybe you'll, you know, you'll come back to reality." Uh, and I think, so I, in a way, I wrote it for every, every person who comes from a place where, and this could be Houston, Brit- British Columbia, or Chicoutimi, Quebec, um, if y- you know, there's a tendency to think you have to be from a major city to have a r- a real career, or an American city even more so sometimes.

Uh, and I think it's just, uh, i- if I felt if I could, uh, give someone the confidence to realize that you can, you can really get anywhere from anywhere.

Mm-hmm.
