Good evening this is John Jaspers from high above the ice here is Baltimore. The building is electric tonight for the home opener of the inaugural season for the Baltimore Platoon. The legendary Platoon recently moved from West Kendall, Florida in a semi rebranding. Let's join in for PA announcer Kevin Gerard's announcement of the Platoon.

...AND FINALLY THE CAPTAIN OF YOUR BALTIMORE PLATOON, NAT EMERSON.

NAT NAT NAT NAT

I honestly can barely remember the night. I'm glad it was recorded. The arena was one of the loudest places I have ever been. The ice seemed like it going to shatter from all the sound.

I have worked hard my whole career to put my teams before me and being made captain was a gigantic honor. Hearing all those fans on opening night, cheering for me, was truly the greatest personal moment of my career. To be able to share that moment with my teammates, fans, and my family was utterly amazing.
