Oh man, where to begin. The Carolina Kraken have welcomed me with open arms and invited me into their magical hockey brotherhood. Sounds dramatic, but I am legit uplifted at being able to make new friends in my 30's.@sve7en has been amazing, answers literally every question I've ever asked, invited me into discussions about my player and his goals, just an all-round great dude and great coach.
@Blasoon lives in a way out timezone, and when I work nights I get to chill with him at weird hours. @natedoeshockey is there too, he's just up at random times. Having the weird dynamic of swing=shifting between the two different sides of the squad has been super cool.
I can't namedrop everyone, but there are days where I am having a full-on bad time, and hopping into the discord the dudes always dog pile in to cheer me up. 

Love yall!
