For me the biggest influences on my time here in the SHL have to be my teammates on the Pride. Before the draft, I had multiple people reach out to me and try and get a sense for how interested I would be in being a member of the Pride and what type of fit I would be for the team.

Since then, I’ve had a lot of fun chatting with the crew in discord and starting to put those performances together on the ice. We’re led by two great guys in @tweedledunn and @Grapehead and they’re both big presences in the lockerroom and effective in their role.

We’ve lost a couple of big actives in @King and @"luketd", both of whom were very active (RIP King) and super good to chat with. Even though they've left we still have a very solid group of guys who I definitely enjoy being around @Muerto @bluesfan55 @bilbo @prettyburn @Jiggly_333 @micool132 @CanadianDuck and even some more. I’m sorry if I left some of ya out guys, I love you all.

The team is pretty tight, and while like with any group there are some disagreements and sometimes the ideas clash, but everyone sorts it out and gets on with it.
