Settling into the SMJHL has been a relatively easy thing to accomplish for Renji Atake. Moving to Newfoundland from Manitoba has only been a short distance, and Newfoundland as a team has a strong group of leaders to help ease the transition into a league that is more competitive than anything that Renji has ever played in. The most difficult adjustment has been the distance of travel, as teams across the SMJHL span from ranges of Carolina, California and Alaska. Over the first handful of games Renji Atake has been shown to be fitting quite nicely into the Newfoundland Berserkers lineup, as he managed to secure 5 total points in his first 13 games of play. Much thanks to the coaching, and the captains of the team, Renji will be looking to develop heavily over the course of this season, and hopes to be a key piece into the Berserkers playoff run.
