It has been a hilariously long time since the Pride have had fresh rookies. I know you think I'm kidding or that I'm exaggerating, but it has quite literally been three whole seasons since the last one debuted in the yellow and purple. Viktor was just hitting his prime and his bones didn't creak like old stairs. Thankfully he still hasn't fallen to "oldest guy on the team" status yet, so he's still got some patience left to deal with this season's one and only rookie addition. Supah Dupah actually played for the same J team as Viktor, who may or may not have been moonlighting as the QCC GM this entire time. Regardless of whether or not that rumour is ever confirmed as real, the two are quite familiar with each other both on and off the ice. And thank fuck for that, because Viktor isn't much of a communicator. Since he's a show more than tell kind of guy, the easiest thing to pass down to Dupah will be his rigid daily routine and gruelling training regimen. I never did say it would be an enjoyable experience for the rookie.
