Option 2:

To make opening night special for the New England Wolfpack home opener, Matiss likes to get to the rink early where the team does a green carpet ceremony where the players arrive at the rink surrounded by the fans. During this time they are able to give high-fives, sign autographs, and take pictures. Being able to do this on opening night allows the team to get connected to their fans and for the fans to show support for the first home game of the season. When the game starts, the opening night ceremonies include having every player announced, and each player skidding out to the center circle to salute the crowd. During warm-ups, the players will wear a special home opener, warm-up jersey with a year pouch on the jersey that get auctioned off after the game. After the jerseys get auctioned off all the fans that won a jersey stay behind, and get an autograph on the jersey from that player.
