In New Orleans, Specter home games have become quite the ritual for the hockey fans from the Big Easy. One might mistake the vibes and atmosphere the same as they'd experience during the Mardi Gras festivities. With COVID now being part of our everyday lives, everyone has had to adapt, including the New Orleans Specters players. They have come accustomed to arriving to the arena, seeing a huge celebration in the works, that would start outside the rink and flow right into the arena, really giving the home team a special boost. After the first few games played to an empty arena, the players and management knew it wasn't the same at all. So, they figured this wasn't going to cut it, and began to start pumping some of the fans pre game tunes through the arenas sound system a few hours prior to the game. They also made creole style food for their pre and post game meals to try and bring some of those familiar smells back for the players. It will never make it feel the same, and the players, like everyone else, can not wait to return to what it was like prior to COVID arriving. Until then, the Specters organization and fans will keep doing everything they can to keep on going and at the same time, stay as safe as possible.
