It was a little bit more warming than the previous season for Raiya Rabinov in the Carolina Kraken dressing room and with a few friends still on the team they tried their best to welcome every new player that walked through the door like the leaders before them who helped Rabinov learn the ropes, of course Raiya got greeted with hugs and handshakes from everyone including the coaching staff beforehand but seeing fresh pictures on the lockers and a new scent from the previous season they knew it was time to have a big season and it seemed like the whole squad was agreed to a lot of the same goals, unifying a plan and chanting "KRAKEN KRAKEN KRAKEN" in a huddle immediately after the first practice, in behind the team the coaching staff smiled on knowing that they had a very young group with a ton of potential to make a huge splash in the SMHJL next season.
