Anchor: The Detroit Falcons welcomed their rookies on draft night last week, and now they welcome them to their locker room for the first time this season. Our sports reporter has the story.

Reporter: Ever wondered what the first day on a new team is like for a rookie? We met up with draft pick, Jeffrey Bjelland to see what went down in the locker room.

Bjelland: The team welcomed me like a seasoned vet; I entered and right away the team was conversing with me and my fellow rookies like they had known us for years. I didn't know what to expect and while maybe I thought there would be a big welcome. I'm glad it was just a normal day as well.

Reporter: Bjelland also said, his experience with Kelowna last year was beneficial for learning the ins and outs of the locker room and he wouldn't have been as comfortable without it.

Anchor: The Detroit Falcons play their first pre-season game next month, but if you want to see Rookies like Bjelland in action before, they will have many free training sessions for fans available this month.
