So the Knights picked up a good bunch of players in the entry draft. There's 11 of us in total, and we all took the same flight to Kelowna pretty much right after the draft was over, as GM Naosu wanted us to meet the rest of the guys as soon as possible. The next morning, Naosu sent us all a text message, saying "Come to Prospera Place at 2 PM. I've got something for you." I'd never been to the arena - I'd never even been to Kelowna, so I was quite excited to get to see it for the first time. Most of us arrived on time (except Sebastian, who was, like, 15 minutes late...) and Naosu was waiting for us down in the lobby. "Follow me," he said. He led us to our locker room, stopping in front of the door. He turned to me and said "Leons, since you're the first round pick, I suppose I'll let you do the honours." He stepped aside. I opened the door, and as the locker room was exposed to us for the very first time, we saw the rest of the team already inside. Suddenly, a bunch of airhorns went off, the room erupted in cheers, and confetti fell from the ceiling. We all rushed inside the LR. Cian McFelter yelled, "There you go!" Danny C gave a look of pleasant surprise. Roboute Guilliman belted, "We got a fucking squad now." And before Naosu hit the locker room door, former Kelowna Knights great Mike Izzy hugged him and said, "Y'all look so different." We all introduced ourselves to the guys - though it seemed like they already knew who we were - and then they showed us our lockers. I have to say, it was... quite the special feeling, seeing my locker, with my name and the number 96 written on it. I think that's the moment where it set in. I am a Kelowna Knight.
