It’s Crabby Joe’s game day! The Exeter Hawks face off against Alymer tonight at 8pm at the South Huron Recreation Centre in Exeter.
Hawks forward Tanner Thayer says the fans and welcoming atmosphere are two of the biggest reasons he enjoys playing in Exeter.
Thayer wears number 10 and is playing his second season with the Hawks.
He told myFM about his hockey journey and how he ended up with the team.
Thayer says hockey has been a big part of his life since he was young. He enjoyed making friends through the sport and always looked forward to going to the rink.
One of his favourite parts of playing in Exeter is the support from the community.
He says the fans are always there for the team.
Thayer also says the team has built a strong bond early in the season.
For young hockey players who hope to wear a Hawks jersey one day, Thayer says Exeter is a great place to play.
As the Hawks prepare for their game tonight, Thayer has a message for the fans.
Go and cheer on your hometown Hawks! Come before or after the game and fuel up at Crabby Joe’s in Exeter!
