An important consideration here is that training camp is in the summer and North America includes places like the Everglades in Florida.  Fingers crossed that coach isn’t sending an actual hippopotamus to the northern provinces even in the summer because that’s how The Murray doesn’t make it home.  Otherwise if we’re a little more southern then shit I’m out here ready to thrive in any and all water and strength events. On ice strength ratings be damned no one is gonna overpower a hippo or out swim an aquatic mammal.  The other side to this coin though is my severe limitations for events involving agility or climbing so team success is going to require team work which I’m 99% certain is why coach wants us to run around in the woods in the first place.  Give me a younger guy like Point on my team to deal participate in events im ill equipped to handle and we’ll be an unstoppable wagon in the woods.
