The Kraken are going all out to prepare for a big playoff run. Coach has us on a strict training regimen, extra ice time sessions and one-on-one video sessions. Conditioning is key to playing the up-tempo hockey that Carolina prizes for a full sixty minutes every night. Off the ice we're all sticking to the meal plan, including the special post-season addition of one pound of calamari per week to absorb the power of our spirit animal. Roddy B has taken the initiative to bring the younger guys along to his underwater yoga class to "feel more like kraken." With so many potent rookies in the Carolina lineup, their performance is going to be key to finding ways to win in the tough matchups ahead. Roddy B told Max Power for SportsNOW ActionDesk that he "feels totally fired up." Wise words.
Hopes and expectations are high, and the Kraken are fighting fit to spring some surprises on the SMJHL.
