(S2) - Weekend PT #5 - Team Bonding

[HalfEatenOnionBagel]

With the team being in Philadelphia, it's no surprise that after every home game the team gets together to go out for cheesesteaks. Fox is usually the one to get the group together to go out and he picks a new place to try every week. Most of the guys have their family come along as well so it's always a good time. It's also a good chance for us to get to meet fans and be part of the community which is a great experience. Fox always has to call ahead because they definitely have to be ready for how much food we are going to order. I personally can eat like three cheesesteaks after a big game. Of course since they know we're coming it usually gets leaked where we will be so the fans come out in droves. It's always a party and something to look forward to whether we win or lose.

My wife and I really wanted to get involved in the community too, so we started volunteering at a soup kitchen every week. Other players have joined us, especially Adam Bennett, who has come with me every week. It's great to give back to people who need it the most and get to work outside of practice with my teammates for a good cause. Plus we've been able to work with team management to get tickets for some of these fans, who wouldn't be able to see the games otherwise, for every home game.
