Option 2:

When the SHL selected us to go to Japan for the SHL Global Series, I must say the whole Renegades locker room was ecstatic. We were honoured to be chosen to represent the league in this international event and try and grow the game globally. Being able to showcase our league, but also bring our brand to more fans is something I think we all were excited about.

Yes, the travel is going to be tough, but the positives outweigh that. We have the privilege of travelling and exploring new parts of this world while playing the game we love. You can't ask for more. Japan is such an amazing place and being able to experience that country is going to be amazing. Here in Texas, we're absolutely looking forward to going on this trip. We're going to soak in all the sites and sounds of the country, but also put on a show for the hockey fans in Japan. I can't wait to head over there and represent the SHL and the Texas Renegades.
