Nothing filled Hans with more joy than seeing his own spot in the Colorado Raptors locker room. A spotless, shiny nameplate brandished on top and a beautiful jersey with his name and number hanging in the middle. As he was taking everything in, his new teammates came to greet him. Right defenseman and assistant captain Angus McFife XVII was the first one to welcome him to the team and to the defensive corps, expressing how excited he was to see the 2nd round pick in action this upcoming year. Then it was 2nd year Captain Ruggs McOoooh, who welcomed the rookie with open arms and with the enthusiasm expected from a good team captain.

It has always been Hans’s dream to play in Colorado, ever since he was a little boy in Füssen. Now that he is here he can keep working on his dream. And while he will be shredding the mountains during the offseason, he is going to be shredding opposing offenses until then.
