For Atticus Hale, hockey is life. When he's not working on his game personally, working with the team, or working with the community, he has little time for anything else. However, he knows and understands that he would be nothing without the fans. Because of that, he doesn't take them for granted and will always carve out extra time for them.

One thing that Atticus will always do is interact with the fans. Both before and after games, especially home games, you'll find him there earlier than everyone else and staying later. He's more than happy to give a fan the jersey off of his back, his stick, his gloves…you name it. He'll also sign pucks beforehand to give out before and after games. You could say he adores the fans and you'd be hard pressed to find a fan that doesn't feel the same way. He's truly a great role model for the young fans but will also charm the more seasoned fans with his quick wit. All in all, Atticus is the type of player the SHL is happy to have represent them.
