Atticus Hale stands on the blue line along with his teammates. As the national anthem plays, many thoughts are running through his head. The New Orleans Specters made a huge splash in the offseason, going all-in with a win now attitude. They have recognized their championship window with their best players just beginning to come down from the peak of their prime and their young guns ready to step up into the spotlight. Atticus doesn’t want to let his team down. He’s trapped on the third line behind two top notch centers in Doom and Hundertwasser and eager to show that he can carry the third line that has at times been offensively anemic. This is his third season in the SHL yet he always has butterflies in his stomach leading up to the opening puck drop of the season. He’s excited for what this season could bring. He looks down the blue line to his left, then to his right. Several new but familiar faces. All of the poised and ready to make this a season to remember for the New Orleans Specters.
