Growing up in Canada, Cameron Taylor played hockey. Being the violent sport that it is, Cameron grew up with tougher skin and an inclination for fighting and sticking up for yourself and for others.
So on a winter's day, during his time at the University of Michigan, when Cameron was finishing a little free skate late at night, there was a loud commotion outside a change room. A older man was yelling at a young boy. Clearly upset, the young boy was crying and apologizing for "not being good enough, dad." It was tough to watch for Cameron. And something inside of him told him to stand up for the young boy. He went over and told the dad to ease up and chill out a bit. Of course the dad was not happy, but did calm down a bit.
A little over a month later, the same situation arose. This time, the dad was angrier. At one point Cameron saw the dad grab the boy forcefully by the arm and smack him on the head. Well, that just wasn't right. The kid can't stand up for himself, so someone had to. Cameron stepped in and showed the dad how much it hurts to be smacked in the head. Of course this resulted in a brawl and eventually led to the dad being held in a choke hold. Of course others got involved and called the police. Cameron was put in cuffs and taken to the station, but thanks to a couple good witnesses, was released with no charges. The dad on the other hand was not so lucky. Along with a black eye and broken ego, he walked away with some required counselling and volunteer service to complete.
