Fresh Start

There is something special about any type of opening day in sports.
The moment is usually accompanied by renewed optimism, regardless of how the previous season turned out. For the Connecticut Sun, who today held their annual media day, a sense of excitement is well deserved.
With its core back from a last season, the two-time reigning Eastern Conference champions are hoping to take that final step by winning the WNBA title.
Opening day is also fun for the media, whether you’re covering the team for the first time, like me, or returning with multiple seasons of experience. For us, it’s a chance to see some new faces and learn some new stories that develop into what our readers see.
It was also my first chance to see the Mohegan Sun Arena, and I was very impressed. I’m looking forward to seeing the atmosphere on game, which I’ve been told is among the league’s best.
