Being benched for a knee injury has one advantage: I was able to get some stellar footage from the inside!

Here's the first pack of the night, composed entirely of rookies. Keep your eyes on these girls this season!

The team colors you're seeing here are a special holiday bout phenomenon. We made up two teams, "Candy," and "Coal" with skaters representing all four of our home teams. You'll never see this precise combination of players working together again!

Rookie names, numbers, and photos will be appearing soon!
