Option 1: As age begins to creep in on Hoang, he relies more and more on the strength trainers to keep him as an elite force. Earlier in his career the bumping and scraping wouldn’t be much of a factor from day to day, but as his prime begins to wane, it’s a certainty that joints freeze up, bruises stick longer, and sometimes things lock up for longer than they used to. It takes a lot of focus for Hoang to stay in the gym, working hard than he ever has on constant conditioning and time for recovery. It’s much the same story for many of his fellow offensive stars, as the young roster looks to learn as much as they can from these older souls of the SHL, Hoang finds it important to instill in their new generation just how crucial the trainer team is in Minnesota. It’ll be a key part of the possibilities they shoot for in the future.
