Excerpt:
> **Now that we’re a week into training camp and Lane has gone through some things, how much do you expect the style to change, or remain the same?**
> I think you’ll see a change. I think you’re going to see us up, you’re going to see us in guys’ faces and on top of guys. I think in turn, that creates a lot of opportunity going the other way. When you’re playing like that in all three zones, it’s really hard to play against. We’ve played against teams that have done it, and we’ve done it ourselves, but I think that intensity and that aggressiveness is the main focus.
> **So it’s fair to say it’s a more aggressive style?**
> I think so. That’s our goal. There’s some things that we’ve changed and looked at and tried to implement here, and once we get those things going I think you’ll see that noticeable difference.
He also mentions how it will be very welcoming to start the season with a home stand, and how last year’s situation with the road trip then Covid definitely played an impact on how the season went.
