Ryland is probably one of the most respectful, fun-loving players in the SHL. As such, he likes to help Karter warm up by taking some soft shots at Karter in net. We're not talking knee high clappers, or head shots, just soft wristers and snaps that Karter can either bounce off of his pads, his blocker, or just right into his trapper. Ryland will take a few minutes off of his warm up to fool around with Karter, maybe try some of his stretches, refill his water bottle for him, and just mentally prep Karter for the game at hand. Ryland always sings at the top of his lungs during warm ups, and always tries to coax Karter into singing a couple lines of whatever song comes to mind or talk about a brand new recipe that maybe Karter would be interested in. Ryland is always there to remind Karter that while each game of the season is important, its equally important to have fun and to enjoy yourself along the way.
