Opening night is an important night for all athletes and sports teams. It’s all about starting fresh and having to prove yourself all over again. In the SMJHL, this is especially the case, as consistency over seasons is difficult due to player turnover. The Kraken are hungrier than ever given the solid season and disappointing end in the playoffs in S79. For opening night, Chuck doesn’t change much. Routine is important to him. Not on a superstitious level, but ensuring that he’s ready to go for every game. Doesn’t matter if it’s game one or game 66. Chuck is there for the fans. He knows how much this means to many of them and is very thankful for their support. At home games, he is known for sticking around long past many of his teammates to sign autographs or talk with fans. The team, the league, his passion for the game are all because of the fans' support
