Whenever there is a newcomer coming in to the locker room to bolster our squad who has probably never been to Seattle at all, we like to chat about the food here in Seattle. Murphy knows the best pizza parlors, I'd like to think to myself that I know my way around italian food and then there is Mihailov who just eats every crumb of every plate palletable. This form of welcoming not only shows them the food around Seattle, but also shows them the city simultaneously so they are not feeling scared at all exploring this beautiful city surrounded by water. I could have used some of that sort of help myself when I first started playing professional hockey in Calgary, it was super scary to explore a new city as well as a new country being a foreigner. It took me a solid 3 or 4 months to get used to living in Canada, but we're making sure new guys get comfortable as fast as possible.
