Joining the Ottawa Highlanders locker room is everything I could have imagined, from the moment of seeing the moves taking place giving a shimmer of hope to seeing my name called when it was the Ottawa Highlanders turn to pick through to actually joining the locker room is all a very happy blur. It’s great to join some people that I have known of for a while but have never got to share a team with and work together on making this expansion team a wild success in the league. I was extremely grateful that Demir Bellona organized a game night to welcome me but then was super picky about what games were being played, and wouldn’t stop ranting about how bad jackbox games are. In the end we just watched the bear so he would shut up. I cant wait to see what kind of hijinks we get up to during the season and am extremely excited to be part of the welcoming party for our draft picks next season.
