Elara Laurent fits into the Sharks’ organization faster than anyone expects. From the moment she arrives, she’s easy with the team—laughing during rehab sessions, trading jokes in the training room, remembering birthdays and favorite playlists. The players adore her. She smiles freely with them, offers encouragement without hesitation, and somehow makes even the longest recovery days feel lighter. To most of the locker room, Elara is warmth and ease personified.
