The Yukon Malamutes (formerly known as Anaheim Outlaws) are going to hand out Malamute bobbleheads. These bobbleheads are going to look similar to the one in the team’s logo and match its colors. The head of the Malamute will bobble up and down, left and right, depending on which way the user bobbles it. This collector’s item is sure to be sought after, dogs are always popular and with it having the colors of the Yukon Malamutes, true diehard Malamute fans will consider this a must have. The bobble head is supposed to show the team’s appreciation to all the fans that like to come out and attend our playoff games. It’s a small gesture but one that might go the extra mile and brighten a fan’s game day experience.

My player is going to take on the environmental cause and volunteer at the local Yukon environmental non profit. It would be great if the team could support the non profit’s efforts to curb plastic usage. This could be accomplished by having my player and others from the team to go out into the community and give out reusable plastic products. Additionally, it would be nice to educate and promote smarter practices for plastics usage. It would be nice for the hockey players to use their platform to elevate causes like protecting the environment. It is sad that with rising temperatures from climate change, ice and snow are melting and will prevent future outdoor hockey if things keep up at this pace. Pons simply won’t be safe enough to play hockey on. And in the Yukon, it seems like some hockey fans might have something to say about that. The players could also host a charity event to auction off cool experiences with the players, like a round of golf with the team.

The season was not all that I hope it would be. By no means would I consider it a failure, but it was a lot of not living up to my own expectations. I figured things would work out better and I would have more production. Yet, I think I went into my role pretty fine. I played a physical game that meant other teams would not be excited to see me around the net scooping up garbage goals or shoving people into the boards. So no, I don’t feel that I met my own expectations but I have something to work towards next season. I think it is important for me to have these expectations and work toward them. The next chapter will involve training on stamina, control, accuracy and discipline. I need to learn how to not let things get under my skin and make costly mistakes because of stupid emotions. Need to stay cool calm collected out there on the ice.

Last season we were the Anaheim Outlaws, and it was cool to be apart of the final season of that team. But now, the team has relocated to the Yukon and we’re now the Yukon Malamutes and I am all for this. The new branding looks pretty sleek and gives the team an opportunity to have a fresh start, get away from some of the previous distractions and set about a culture that new players are eager to be apart of. We want to have a good first season as the Malamutes so that we can set the tone of the franchise. Teams around the league did not take Anaheim all that serious last season, but now they do not know what to expect with the Malamutes. So next season is a really exciting time, we are going to make a run at the four star cup and we will see what happens. They say championships are won in the off-season, so this off-season will be really telling for the future of the franchise.
