As the Whalers finished up signing rookies, they planed an event where the fans could meet said rookies. The event was a meet-up at a local high school, which happened just as the school year was about to end. The event happened at the school's field, where food trucks were set up, music from local bands was being played and highlights from the previous SMJHL season were being shown on a TV on the school's outer walls. The teenagers at the school got autographs from the various players and staff. The player they liked the most was Jax Duggan, who really enjoyed getting autographs from everyone at the school and just hanging out with them in general. The students said that the food was amazing, and the music was very enjoyable, with a combination of the past and the present. The event was a smash hit at the school, and they really want to have another go at it next year. The Vancouver Whalers enjoyed it as well, and after the event closed concluding a street hockey tournament, the players left the school grounds and headed back to their homes to prepare for the upcoming SMJHL season.
