With the SMJHL draft done Jani Mänty finds himself from an unexpected position as he wakes up from his sleep to find out that his services are no longer needed in Anchorage and he needs to head to Montana instead.
He is last of three new draftees to arrive at the location, though at this point he doesn't yet know it. On the way to the team locker room Jani is greeted by some staff members of the team who are already at the arena. He finally reaches a door with a distinct Grizzly logo which he carefully then opens. In the room he sees 3 members of the team with other two prospects, another forward, Jae-ik Barron and a defenseman Declan Van Ryker who are both already talking engaged in conversation with other 3 members of the team.
They are some of most veteran members of the team, one of the turns towards Jani. "Hi, I'm Levin Schattenaxt and it seems that we finally have the whole group together. Here in Great Falls everything is great, our team is great our drafting is great and our celebrations are great. Even our MVP award, the Golden Salmon of Excellence is great and so we expect great things from you too." As he says that he nods to other two who pull out some fine Salmons as we leave them to their devices. Last thing you can hear from the locker is a voice saying that don't forget there's also that reptilian thing.
