One thing about the LR in Vancouver is that it is super positive about the upcoming season. You get the vibe that everyone on this team truly believes that this is their year, which is awesome. When that sort of vibe is around, it makes people more intrigued and more likely to stay active which results in a better team.
When I was drafted the first team member I met was my old friend and current Whalers GM Adam. It's is super exciting that I will be able to be on the same team as him again.
Another thing I noticed is the amount of people involved in conversation in the LR. Current players and alumni alike are all active and always talking. I think this shows how much people love the team and the atmosphere.
All in all, the first 24 hours since being drafted has been a blast. I feel lucky to be able to go to the team that was number one on my list.
