- 1:07Speaker 2: Yeah, so if you recall a couple of weeks ago,
- 1:09Speaker 2: he was actually the second Star of the week, or
- 1:12Speaker 2: maybe it was third Star, but yeah, he had another
- 1:15Speaker 2: wonderful weekend.
- 1:17Speaker 1: They give out these.
- 1:19Speaker 2: A player each each week, just recapping the week. Whoever
- 1:23Speaker 2: has the best week in their eyes gets the first Star.
- 1:26Speaker 1: So Lad got that. He's our goaltender.
- 1:29Speaker 2: I think I've told you before, but his dad actually
- 1:31Speaker 2: played in the NHL. A really really cool connection there.
- 1:34Speaker 2: But he was great again. He's now won three straight
- 1:37Speaker 2: games against the mud Bugs.
- 1:38Speaker 1: Wow.
- 1:39Speaker 2: When he got that third Star, he made fifty one

- 2:01Speaker 2: The atmosphere was incredible, and uh, and I think we
- 2:05Speaker 2: get that going.
- 2:05Speaker 1: I think it's actually going to get even better now
- 2:07Speaker 1: that it's going to even get colder. Yeah, so we'll
- 2:09Speaker 1: see what happens. You know, it's it just seems better
- 2:12Speaker 1: to go into a hockey game when it actually is
- 2:15Speaker 1: cold outside.
- 2:16Speaker 2: Also, yes, when you get the winter feelings, the holiday, right,
- 2:21Speaker 2: it get I think everybody gets a bit more jolly,
- 2:23Speaker 2: and it's a you can actually, you know, have a
- 2:25Speaker 2: sweatshirt on outside you go into the rink instead of
- 2:28Speaker 2: being like shorts and a T shirt.
- 2:29Speaker 1: Yeah, and yeah, that's one of the things.

- 2:32Speaker 2: have players from Sweden, we have players from Canada, you
- 2:35Speaker 2: name it, and they're always like I usually ask some Mike,
- 2:38Speaker 2: what's your favorite thing about like corpus things that they go.
- 2:42Speaker 2: I can wear shorts to the rink, and I can
- 2:45Speaker 2: put on shorts after. I can wear flip flops to
- 2:47Speaker 2: the ring. That's that's not really uh really common where
- 2:50Speaker 2: they come from.
