The team was silent, and slack-jawed the first time I entered the locker room.  They had never seen a humanoid peanut before, let alone one that was good enough to play hockey.  I was used to it though after having spent plenty of time on the road as a "freak show" attraction, the gasps of wonder...and horror sometimes have become a null sensation.  Thankfully the General Managers were on top of things and were in there to help break the ice and introduce me to the team.  After some obvious questions about how I walk and talk, or get dressed or where I learned to skate at...and then one really weird question about peanuts and bathrooms (I still haven't figured why that one was asked)...the team was pretty accepting.  After all, in the main SHL league we have had physical walls made of brick, otters, walruses and other things able to play so they in turn come to the same conclusion:  Why not a peanut?
