Walking into the locker room for the first time was an unforgettable experience for Ela Solberg. The atmosphere buzzed with excitement and anticipation, and her new teammates made her feel like she was already part of the family. As soon as she stepped in, they greeted her with warm smiles and heartfelt congratulations on being drafted. Her jersey was hanging in her locker, with "Solberg" proudly displayed on the back. Seeing it there was surreal, a powerful reminder of the journey ahead.

As Ela looked around, she noticed photos of past cup runs pinned to the walls, but one image caught her eye. A picture of her older sisters celebrating a big win, their smiles full of pride. Seeing them up there reminded her of the legacy she was stepping into. It was inspiring and a bit intimidating, knowing the high expectations of wearing this jersey. After some introductions and a quick tour, Ela and the other rookies headed to Denny’s. It is a team tradition to celebrate this exciting new chapter together.
