It was a beautiful day in Vancouver and a perfect day for the annual season ticket holders event called Whale Day. The veterans were in charge of entertainment, rookies worked the gates and the team management held games inside the arena for charity. For food, management ordered from their favorite pizzeria in town but we wont discuss the price. Thousands of fans gathered to meet the team and filled their bellies

Rookie Artem Mozgov arrived a little late from his flight but luckily he was in time to meet his team before the event. After being assigned a role at the front gate Mozgov agreed and started walking towards his station but that he never made it through all the large crowds, Artem was all over the place and it was clear he had no clue what he was doing. I guess as a new guy some people still don't really know you and with the language barrier it was even harder. A lot of times he was asked to clean up spills, move cars and even change the garbage but he did it all with a smile. He continued to help out all night and never returned to his position at the front gate til the end of the night, nobody noticed but thank god he arrived because nobody called a janitor
