Kristian Seppanen enjoys going home to Finland for vacation and family time in the offseason. However, Seppanen also tends to spend a significant amount of time carrying his eel friend around in his sleeve, as part of his rookie responsibilities and desire to build a positive locker room year round.

Seppanen doesn’t have significant name recognition in the league and country yet, given he’s just a rookie. So therefore, he generally goes about his day normally - without the need to worry about fan interactions. Only the most diehard Inferno fans know who Seppanen is as he has yet to play a game for them, and he has only played games in his home country of Finland and in Yukon for the Yukon Malamutes - a team most Atlantans likely don’t even know exists.

That said, Seppanen will get occasional fan interactions and he really enjoys signing merch for fans and showing a love and support for the team and the city. As the season progresses, Seppanen looks forward to make a name for himself.
