From the very moment I stepped in the locker room, I was greeted with nothing but overwhelming support from the team, both players and staff. I knew making the transition from Germany to Colorado would be difficult, but the culture inside of the locker room will make it as seamless of a transition as it can be. It has been made clear that there is a well-knit community in the locker room, and I am very excited to become a part of it.  When I found the jersey with my name on it hanging up in the locker room and put it over my head for the first time, that is when I realized I finally made it. Now is when the work really begins. This team wants to win, and I am prepared do everything that I can to make that a reality for me and my fellow teammates.
