He continues playing hockey with the Moose, but he becomes aggressive and intimidating. His teammates stop talking to him. 

Saul leaves the town of Manitouwadge at the age of eighteen. 

Fred Kelly warns Saul that it’ll be hard for him to find work elsewhere, and suggests that he stick around, where he’s surrounded by his friends.
