Following a tragic game 7 loss, Grindle Waters-Johnson is finally willing to share how the Great Falls Grizzlies trained for the SMJHL playoffs.

First, there's film. Of course there is. Listen guys, let's be realistic, you gotta watch your film if you want to win. Grindle watched a lot of film, and noticed some small flaws to his game that he was able to fix during the playoffs. Our coaching staff, god bless them, gave us all individual preparation plans. Wow. props to them. can you believe that?

The big daddy of it all though was conditioning. Bag skates were aplenty, we lived full days at the gym, working to make sure we were big and JACKED and HAD STAMINA for the grueling games ahead. Finally, we wanted to make sure there was still great team cohesion going into the 'loffs, so captain Thomas Hudson hosted a karaoke night. Grindle sang Beyonce, he is a man of culture.
