Grondlund's introduction wasn't without issue. Being from Norway, he had a bit of an issue talking to many of his teammates. Having not yet mastered the English or French language. Grondlund stuck out like a sore thumb. At least until he was introduced to the Solbreg twins. Having someone who spoke his native tongue made it easier for him to fit in with the rest. Since then he's been practicing his English and French; while slowly improving, he continues to make some hilarious mistakes. Quebec City is a welcoming and friendly environment. Full of teammates who want each other to succeed.

Everyone helps everyone and works together to create the best possible product on ice that they can. Grondlund has been introduced to many of the teams traditions, including going to Deny's after shutouts and pointing firearms at the General Manager of the Carolina Kraken any time they come to visit. The last one he doesn't really understand. But if it means fitting in, he's all for it.
