Atticus Hale doesn't really care about big contracts or the high life that comes with it. He's strictly business most of the time and spends a lot of his time on the ice working on his game or in the gym working on his conditioning. His love for the game means more than money. He does however have obligations. He’s very close to his family and provides for them the way they did for him on his journey to the SHL. That said, Atticus is a team player and is willing to take a pay cut to help the team as long as it doesn’t negatively impact the support he provides his family. He himself lives a relatively humble life compared to a lot of the game’s big money players. The ice is his home away from home after all, and until he chooses to start a family of his own, his house is merely a place to lay his head at the end of a long day.
