Player Perspective: PHL
"As an import, Poland was a good place for me to begin playing overseas. The training over here reminds me a bit of that Eastern bloc style in that you train super hard in the gym and on the ice, but you get in real good hockey shape conditioning wise quick. The fans here will chant all game. They have a drum guy, coordinated chants, and a few of the ultras will light up flares in the supporter section sometimes. It's wild in a good way!"
