Training camp was great fun. Met many new players as well as new coaches. Usually am not one for making new friends, but this is first team sport. Need to at least pretend to enjoy company of other people. Used to fighting league and was told that fighting was allowed here. Very surprised when coach got angry with me for fighting teammate. Assumed this was part of training. Apparently, these men save fighting for “game time”. No wonder they all have such bad form. Veterans also tried to play prank on me. Key word in statement here is try. No one pulls a fast one on Jakob Hamr. When I went to put on ridiculous pads, I smell faint scent of itching powder. This would be hilarious joke to play on others, I thought, but not on myself. This is why I find man who put itching powder in pads and force him to put on my pads. Frankly, he was right, was very funny joke to see him all itchy.
