Johnny FourStar has taken little rest since Winnipeg was bounced from the SHL playoffs last season. There is just too much to do to get better! Johnny has been skating every day, working with trainers to increase his agility and speed. He has been working on his shot, too, and ensuring that he gets as many pucks to the net as possible. When he is not actively skating, Johnny is working on his game in other ways. He is playing darts to increase his accuracy. He is walking everywhere in town with a hockey stick in his hands. He is even organizing strangers into configurations of 5 versus 5 so he can play a sort of mental chess to help him understand the best way to attack any given lineup. Johnny Fourstar might be a little insane, but it is this kind of dedication and devotion to the game that is going to make a difference in the Winnipeg Aurora win column this season.
