Growing up in Europe playing hockey, Erikson was very used to the college atmospehere. There would be whole pyrotechnique sets while he was playing. Erikson loved it but when he moved to the SHL it died down a bit. However when he was told the amazing atmosphere was coming back he was exicted. As the game went on Erikson scored first blood. He went full Viking, breaking his stick throwing it into the crowd and crowd diving. He got into a fight later in the game. Once he won. He stepped over the opponent and raised his arms into the crowd. A fan rushed the ice and while slipping clung onto Erikson for a photo. He took it and shotgunned the beer the fan gave to him. Overall the atmosphere was amazing. Erikson finally felt he was able to let himself go and play his heart out with no reprecussions. He wish it would keep going, however at the end it had to end.
