The off season was not kind to Troy. After a disappointing exit from the playoffs in his last shot at the 4 star cup, Troy looked to the IIHF and WJC to try and get some wins. As one of the board members for Czechia's IIHF / WJC team, his expectations were unrealistically high. "Nothing short of gold" is what he kept saying. Well at no fault to god wonderful teams, they were bested by some really good international teams. Troy was in the gutter, so he knew what he had to do.


Steriods. Troy started taking testosterone, flintstone chewables [yellow ones only], and something he calls "Modal Juice" which was mixed in a 100% cranberry juice container, but was dark blue. He turned himself into a Modal infused butterfly, and emerged anew; a giant structure of a man with cheekbones. His skating is faster, more balanced, and intense. His stick handling is smooth, yet speedy, like a VW bug got dropped out of an airplane. His awareness is off the charts.


In other words, he's ready.
