Are we really allowed to speak on things we’ve seen? I know the league hasn’t seen an injury in almost the entirety of its existence and its something I have found strange for a while. I noticed that whenever we would get some bumps and bruises or someone would get hit a little hard there would always be this strange concoction of liquid ready for us. It seemed to be some sort of sports drink, or that’s what they told us. I didn’t really know what to make of it, it just tasted like some juice or whatnot and it helped, so who are we to question it?

However, one day I got to the rink a little early and I saw someone with the training team, someone who looked like he was from the league office and they were with the sports drinks and they were putting some clear liquid into it. They had a little dropper and putting a couple of drops into each bottle, shaking them, and then closing them up. When they saw me looking, they closed the door, so there must be something in there we’re not supposed to know. They don’t want us to know, but it’s odd. If something happens to me, you know why…
