Option 2

Any opportunity to play in a new emerging market will be an exciting one for Ylib Kove and the Yukon Malamutes. The home crown in Yukon is always a joy to play in front of, but a couple of games overseas has a completely unique energy that can't be replicated with the same rotation of cities in North America. Playing in Japan is a great opportunity for team bonding since there's plenty of time outside of the games to explore the country with teammates. During game time however, the novelty of the global series has to be ignored because the matches are still just as important to the regular season standings. Every player has a unique opportunity to win the support of these new fans by showing off their best skills on the ice. This requires full focus. Additional fan interaction can happen before and after the game to further spread the enjoyment of the game. Overall, the trip is a great opportunity for both the players and the fans.
