Smurfunkel Dothe of the Quebec City Citadelles always makes sure to take steps before the season to prepare for the rigor of the regular season and the post season. He lives in Norway in the offseason and is a huge fan of the hot springs and ice baths that are littered all over his home country. He begins his morning by fasting until 1pm and during the time he is fasted will head to the local gym and get a lift and some cardio in. After his very intense workouts he walks back home and heads to the woods behind his house where he knows of a cold river he can soak in to give his muscles added recovery. Dothe goes harder than he should in the offseason and often hears about it from team trainers and coaches but is what works for him so he continues to do it .
