He moved away at age 14 to go to boarding school in New England, at which point his parents moved to Ocean City. He wanted to further his education and pursue a hockey career so with no reputable high school program, the only option was a private school like St. Augustine or to move away and Felix chose St. George's School in Middletown, Rhode Island."
