Renata Fast speaking after practice Saturday about the leadership on the Sceptres after Jocelyne Larocque's departure.
No doubt it was an emotional to see a player like Joss leave our group and someone that Blair and I have relied on heavily to support the team she's been a huge player for this organization but I think Blair made a really good point heading into that first Ottawa game she kind of talked about like no one is gonna replace Joss and she's obviously a big void that we're gonna have to like work ways to fill but I think the great thing about this team is we have a lot of leaders a lot of people that don't have letters or who aren't even in the leadership group who exemplify leadership every single day I think everyone recognized that Joss played a big part but they can also play a big part in just the way that they come to the rink each day and the mindset that they bring they don't have to be the loudest person but I just think if they're leading by example that's what Joss did so yeah it definitely was shocking but I think the group is kind of settled in a little bit now
