Lenkins was drafted by the Fire Salamanders In the fifth round of the season 25 class. It was an interesting time because I was unsure what would happen with an expansion team and how long it would take for them to become competitive. If you watch the YouTube video of the draft it appears being unsure of what was happening was a mutual feeling. I was asked to stay with Grey Ducks to gain more experience. The hard work Lenkins put in last season did not go unnoticed as when I was called up for my maiden season I had been voted as a team captain by my peers. At the time I was happy to be drafted by Berlin albeit they were not my top choice, I wanted to go to Austin Copperheads or Chicago Butchers. Due to the former being tipped off (ultimately incorrectly) that I may be going inactive that move never materialised. The Chicago Butchers rejection became more personal due to the clear level of inept scouting from the franchise and because of this I have vowed never to pay for them even if I hit the free agency market.
This season (my second as a captain) will definitely be different from the first as opposed to being 0-4 we are now 4-0 and sitting comfortably at the top of our conference. Ultimately I am happy to be a Fire Salamander and may even be a 1 team player.
