As a young player in the SHL, Rence Sykut often fits overmatched against his elder peers and opponents. He has worked hard to manage his frustrations with this by not lashing out and taking silly penalties while also not getting too down on himself. He knows that he just needs to keep grinding in training and soon he will be the one outmuscling and overpowering the opposition in a few short seasons. Playing on a team with SHL legends Vaseline Podcalzone, William Salming, and Landon Fischermann has shown Rence how to act as a professional and what to aspire to as a professional hockey player. His teammates always remind him to keep a cool head and not sweat the small mistakes. Rence hopes to pass this mentality along to prospects and rookies coming into the league after him because it has been crucial in his development to have the right mindset in this league.
