Fans are able to interact with pros by sending them a 'pound' with an message attached. A 'pound' is essentially a 'fist-bump' that acknowledges approval of something the player has done on the ice or in the community. Verified pros will see your 'pound' and message, and have the ability to send a 'pound-back' directly to the fan(s).
