We had the opportunity to briefly sit down with Carolina Kraken Captain Atticus Hale to catch up on the goings on of the season to this point…

Reporter: Atticus, you were recently named Captain of the Carolina Kraken after Roderic Banes moved up to the SHL. What’s that been like so far?

Atticus Hale: First of all, I’m grateful that my teammates see me as a leader on this team and have entrusted me with this honor. I can only hope to live up to what they expect out of a Captain. To answer your question though, It’s been pretty seamless. I’ve always been pretty vocal and kind of naturally gravitated toward leadership.

R: The Kraken have been a nice surprise this season, looking like a strong contender. With half the season left, how do you see everything playing out?

AH: Well, I don’t really want to make any predictions. I just hope we can keep playing at the same level for the rest of the season and into the playoffs. It’s my final season here and I’d love to see all our hard work pay off.

R: Thanks so much for taking the time to sit down with us Atticus. Good luck the rest of the season.

AH: Appreciate it. Thanks for having me.
