When you play in Great Falls, you prepare for the playoffs the only way you know how: like a Grizzly. The whole team has been sleeping on the floor of a cave just outside of town, waking with the sunrise and the sound of chirping birds in the surrounding forest.

Making their way in the morning down to the river, they caught protein-rich salmon to feast upon. They ate the fish raw, of course, because that’s tradition. Stomach full of fish, they mosey to the nearest clearing for a dessert of blueberries before nodding off for an afternoon nap.

For their evening training, the team chase wildlife through the forest on hands and knees, roaring fiercely as they do so. Exhausted from their day of absurd training, they make their way back to the cave to rest.

It’s unclear how this actually is meant to benefit them on the ice. Maybe this method explains their difficult first day of playoffs.
