Wachter was really shocked when he heard from the lockout and was thinking how this could affect him. He just signed his first pro contract in Texas, will they pay me if the season wouldn't be played? Will there be a lot of player coming back to the junior league instead of getting a spot on their SHL teams. Another year on the Carolina Krakens 4th line. Just a few of so many thoughts he had during the first hours after he received the message. But after talking with his father Maximilian and Kraken management he started to focus on the practice again. No matter what will happen, it's never a bad idea to be ready for the season and a few extra days of practice will always help did his father told him. Kraken management was also very helpful, because they said that there will no overage player coming down, because we don't have one. So it got clear that I will climb up the depth charts and get more ice time for SMJHL S51.
