Quote:Player Prompt, Written Task

Aleksi Kettu does a number of things to help remind him to have fun both in and out of the game of hockey. When he first got drafted by the Carolina Kraken, his niece gave him a congratulations card with a hand drawn kraken on it. Kettu then took the drawing to a local jeweler, who actually managed to make a necklace based on the drawing. Kettu never takes that necklace off. On top of that, he stops by the local kids rink in Charlotte every week that the team is at home to skate around during the stick-and-pick times, often playing some pickup games or “keep away” with the local kids, who never expect Kettu to show up but always have a blast when he does. Kettu plans to continue this tradition in the Los Angeles area when he gets his call up, though he will have to get some help from current Panthers on which rinks to go to.
