Stepping into the locker room for the first time was an exhilarating experience, filled with a mix of nerves and anticipation. Having heard about the legendary St Louis Scarecrow teams of the past, I instantly felt their presence inside the locker room. Being a part of such a great organization is not easy, but having my new teammates around me and welcoming me helped put me at ease. Being the 4th overall pick, there is also some instant pressure to come in right away and contribute at a high level; which I have no doubt I will do, however having a great locker room helps a bunch. Me and my fellow rookies did a rookie meet and great which allowed for us all to get to know each other better and understand that if we all get better together then we will be very successful in the juniors, and try to mirror what some of the great Scarecrow teams did in the past.
