"One from Jax here, he says, what are your thoughts? You've kind of already addressed this, but we'll let Jax get credit for the question. What are your thoughts heading into next season? I'll change it a little bit compared to last year. Is there a renewed energy? Has your mind changed all of a sudden? Because like you said, you had that decision to make. Do I wanna try the next level? Am I ready for that? Where am I at? Yeah, there is definitely a new buzz, like a new energy, I think. I would say within the group, especially, just you can tell that everybody wants to be there, and we're very excited, and we're just up there working out, competing on the ice, playing games, competing. We're just getting better, getting tighter, and yeah, I mean, I've said it I don't know how many times now. I wish it was October now, but just gonna continue to try to get better and get ready for the year. And then this is, as we said, you're wearing the C, but you wore the C last winter for Team USA. How much did that change your game? From us sitting at the top of the arena, from the, whatever, how many feet high, not 10,000 foot view, but everybody uses that as an example. How much did your game change after that experience? The knowledge that you could play and beat some of the best players in the world? Yeah, I think I matured a little bit through that tournament again. Not the result, but learned from that as well. Learned a lot about myself, and I ended up having a pretty good second half and just continue to mature. And sometimes you need a little humility, right? To grow as a person, as a player, as a team. And that's why, for me, I'm really excited about the group that you have coming in this year. I think it's gonna be a different team, a faster team with defensemen that can really get up in the play and feed guys like you and LJ, and the list goes on. But so there is a ton of excitement around this program heading into this year. Yeah, 100%. I mean, I know a lot of the fans are feeling it. I know that you guys feel it. I know the coaching staff feels it. I feel it, like it's special. Let's go. Yes, yeah."
