Vojtech Outrata had played in hundreds of hockey games before.

But his first one as a member of the De Pere Voyageurs was certainly different to the foreign-exchange student from the Czech Republic.

Outrata had no problem adjusting to his new teammates or the pace of play on the ice during a 3-2 victory against Bay Port last month.

However, playing in front of a jam-packed crowd at the Cornerstone Community Center was unlike anything he had ever experienced before.
