Preseason Prep:

This is Ace Lightning's fourth and last season in the SMJHL and with the Nevada Battleborn, and let's just say he hasn't exactly improved since the offseason of season 2. Yes, somehow he won the Best Defenseman Award last season but he hasn't lifted a weight or run a lap in seasons now. His roster spot is secured at this point anyways, and he's got the SHL on his mind. Ace Lightning gets ready for training camp by eating a lot of carbs, Michael Scott style. Spaghetti, fettucine alfredo, bread, all the good stuff. He eats a load of it 24 hours before the start of the preseason, which could explain why he never does very well and seems a step behind. Perhaps for next offseason, he could carbo-load 48 hours before the start of training camp and see if that makes a positive difference.
