And next next season is a shorter one. Can you explain what's going on there?

1:01Nope. Yeah, I can. I can we're gonna we're gonna change our schedule right now. For now we have a schedule going with the season going from February to basically into December. If yeah, the full schedule, but but because most other schedules around the world in this game is from July to to May, they will they will change the schedule next season. So it means that we have to have a very short what they call a sprint season in the in the spring. And it will be yeah, it will be very short and it will be determined very fast. So it's going to be maybe a little bit less a little bit more random than normal, but yeah, it's it's it's kind of that's what they need to do in order to change the schedule.

And we it's going to be great because we're going to be tested in the hardest possible way and we're going to play away from home. So it's going to be it's going to be a great, you know, test of us and how we can and how we can do and manage with the with the way games against the tough competition because that's probably what we're going to face in the playoffs as well. Yeah, you've got yeah, it's going to be good. You got the St. Louis and then Austin. So we will be listening. Good luck. Thank you very much.
