its always going to be a bit overwhelming ya know? walking into a room full of people youve never met. luckily i was one of seven or so new faces entering the room, gives ya some time to settle in and not be the complete center of attention. the general manager of the Kraken was the first to welcome me... we had talked a bit before the draft and i was thankful that he and his team decided to give me a shot. more members of the management team followed suit, im pretty sure one was a Slothface? its pretty hard not to recognize that... face thing they got goin' on. as i scanned the room i saw a couple more familiar faces. Tomas Lind was a prospect for my dad's team in Manhattan that i had seen around. i had also heard of Cormac Ponaire before, some loose relation to Derek Bohne Jr... a defenseman my dad had played with. most everyone on the team did their little introduction thing and then i sort of wandered off to look around the facility. i did find the spot where the team compiled a bunch of pictures of their pets so i admired that for quite a while and then pinned up a picture of my dog, Puck. i think ill fit in just fine here.
