Two seasons ago, Rence Sykut was the lone rookie on a team full of highly accomplished veterans. Landon Fischermann, Vaseline Podcalzone, and William Salming, in particular, took Rence under their wings and helped him learn how to be a pro athlete and Rence always wanted to pass that forward. Fast forward to the present and Rence is looking like a grizzled veteran himself with the influx of young talent that Seattle has brought up into the organization since his debut. Understanding how overwhelming that first SHL can be, Rence goes out of his way to be particularly kind and approachable to the rookies. This season, he is on a line with rookie winger Jean-Jacques Francois Jacques-Jean and the two of them have been spending extra time after practice building chemistry before the upcoming season. On top of that, another rookie, Pinli Switchbang, has been staying in Rence's pool house until Pinli can find a place in Seattle.
