Mat Akselsen does not believe in luck. He believes in hard work, something that Jayce Tuck with his god given athleticism will never understand. Mat has had to work for every inch he's gotten, he takes it. There is one thing that Mat always has on him during gamedays however, a bone fragment from a wolf skull.
It was his rookie year, and having just been drafted by the Wraiths, Mat decided to explore the town of Yellowknife and see the sights. He went to the hotel, town center, and the local pub. It all took about 30 minutes, so he decided to check out the wilderness. It was only a bit after noon but it being the dead of winter, the sun was already lowering in the southern sky. There was a forest near the town that he headed toward, and the deeper he got the more sure of his direction he became as if something were guiding him. He saw a ghostly visage in the distance and approached it with caution. When he got within five feet of it, the ghost faded away. Mat was drawn to the snow beneath it and when he dug around he found the bone fragment, the power clearly visible in it. Mat is not a superstitious man, but he felt this a sign from the land that he would have a purpose in Yellowknife. He has kept it on him every day since.
