What would saul life be like if he didnt find his love of hockey at st Jerome's what would saul saul be like if he didnt have father leboutiller on his side at st Jerome's?

I think Saul's life would be like many of the other boys in the school, soulless and despondent. Saul was literate so he had books and the nuns thought him "smarter" than the average child but I think Saul would have just turned himself off and allow himself to remain emotionally dead until he left the school.
