Written Option 2:

One way that Normand Marineau tries to make opening night special is by inviting as many family members and close friends as he can to the game. With this being his third season in the league and a veteran on the team, he now gets a few extra tickets than usual. This gets him pumped up before the game and gives him extra motivation to perform on the ice. After coming off a disappointing end to last season where the Raptors lost in the finals to the Citadelles, Marineau and the team want to start the season on a positive note and give the fans something to cheer about. Marineau knows that kids will be attending, so he tries his best to sign as many autographs as possible and hand out a few extra pucks to some kids behind the glass. Opening night also means fun celebrations. When introducing each player, the Raptors will have a kid as a mascot with a Raptors jersey to skate out with the player.
