Option 2- As a Latvian, Kristians Mikelis is used to fan interactions. Ice hockey is one of the most popular sports in Latvia so in his career before the SMJHL, Mikelis signed many autographs and had many fan meetups. Mikelis is a very humble hockey player, and whenever possible he goes out of his way to make fans have a better experience. One of the ways he does this is by making sure to always flip a puck to a fan during warmups. When it comes to the offseason, Mikelis doesn't plan around fan interactions. If someone wants a picture or autograph, he will happily oblige, but he also won't go out of his way to set up any fan meetings. Luckily from being a waiver claim in a small market (Maine) last season, Mikelis isn't nearly at the level of fame as some of his peers. For now, Mikelis plans on living out his off seasons as a normal player and making adjustments as needed. By the time he grows to the level of fame as other SHL players he will have enough money to rent out wherever he wants to go.
