Any chance you get to play in front of the home fans is special, but it's undeniable that the homer opener is even more so. After an offseason that feels way too long, seeing all the excited faces in the seats really gives you some extra fire in your legs. I wouldn't say I give 120%, because I give it everything I have in every game I play, but I won't deny that I feel the extra motivation and desire to win. In terms of making sure it's a special occasion for the fans, I just try and make myself available for anything the team wants to organize to connect with our supporters. If that's an intermission interview or staying late to do a meet and greet, or recording videos for the Jumbotron, I will gladly do it all. I remember being that little kid in the stands and thinking it was so cool that these hockey players would take the time to give us attention, so I want to make sure I can instill they same feeling in others now.
