Izzy Dudemiester was excited and nervous to head to Halifax and meet all his new teammates.  Luckily for him, they chose to break the ice with a Summer beach day on the sunny coast of Nova Scotia.  The day was filled with paddle boarding, volleyball, people watching, and general good fun.  He heard that Halifax can be beautiful in more ways than one on those summer days and he was definitely not disappointed at the sights.  One thing he made sure to not forget for the boys was the beer.  He loaded up a couple coolers with his favorite, Keystone, and happily passed them around.  Not everyone was on board at first, but they came around or at least they humored him for some free cold ones.  By the end of the day, he knew he was ready to start a journey with these amazing athletes and battle for a win every night, as long as he can celebrate afterwards of course.
