For some teams in the SHL I am sure having no fans in the stands is just another game for them. In Edmonton though, the arena has always been packed with loud passionate fans and the energy that that provides is near impossible to recreate. Fortunately the team has an influx of young players who are full of piss and vinegar bringing a level energy that you can only get from being hungry. Seeing these young players keeps the older players motivated too. Some of the players who have won cups tell stories and relive some of the biggest moments in franchise history to keep the young guns energy focused. Having a legend like Tor Tuck on the team gives purpose to going out on the ice, to dominate and give him one more cup to retire a champ. Also, each player takes turns finding a way to light a spark before each game. Whether its a playlist of music or providing a motivation speech, original or one like the great Rocky Balboa gave. There is no shortage of energy or motivation for Edmonton and the league is about to witness a storm the likes they've never seen.
