Mario, as a new player who was extremely excited to join the team, was very proud to show off his famed jumping abilities. He was incredibly disappointed when he remembered, as he had joined a Hockey team, that Jumping was not the most important skill. That being said, when his team decided to get together for a Trust Fall, Mario...didn't exactly understand how it was supposed to work. Where he's from, people are generally completely fine when falling from great heights, much less falling backwards from a standing position. Thus, Mario decided to show off by pulling off a perfect form Triple Axel, landing perfectly on his feat. While this was very impressive, it was not really a trust fall, so Mario was asked to try again, this time with a slightly better explanation as to what he was supposed to do. Said Mario in response to the event to reporters after practice, "Mamma Mia!"

Typical day at Anaheim Outlaws locker room. Our captain John Donair comes in excited - his mom found his MTG cards. Ryuuji was totally interested in details so in five minutes we all were informed that this collection was split and represented early 2000. Jack Micro got a bit sad. He got rid of all his yugioh cards years ago. One of general menegers, Supreme Zomp comes in. He heard conversation. "I should sell my pokemon cards," he said. One of veterans - Strom Chamberlain - jumps in conversation and next thing you know everyone is talking about Yugioh tournaments, random card efffects explained by Ruy Jones, links provided my Jack Micro, strong cards and official bans. I learned something about Yugioh cards. After Vincent Mietitore showed his 3D shadowbox god cards, many was speechless. So on this nostalgic vibe we went to some good old hockey practice. I won't be surpriced, if we actually play Yugion in practice.

It was a typical day, we were talking about the Super Bowl and our thoughts of it. Our GM seemed very excited over the result, it was nice to see him happy. We then looked forwards to our preseason games that will be coming soon. Our CO-GM was very excited to wake us all up yelling "PRESEASON!" as today is his first game as a CO-GM. I can relate, today is my first game as a player, but I sure wasn't waking everyone up yelling. We then did some team-building excersices, not that we needed them, our coach yells at us every practice for talking. After some team building excerises we got to move on to doing some situational stuff, and then some late game, need-a-goal moments. Those moments are my favorite because that's what I am built for. We then ended practice with some of the older players giving us rookies speeches, I didn't pay attention too much because I was exhausted and my legs were about to die.

Last week after the draft, Coach JURT had a special exercice for the Colorado Raptors, learning how to block chaos wizards shots from the pointe (fancy word for blue line btw). It is well known that Chaos Wizards like to attack from afar like the cowards they are and brilliant defenders like Angus McFife have the duty to try to block the shot with his shield (fancy word for body btw) so the puck doesn't reach the net. @"sota" Fedor Sotakov, the newest Russian machine didn't really grasp the exercice and would try to deflect the shots into the net instead of blocking it. @"Wannabefin" KEKW also refused to block shots, saying "he had blocked enough in his other life", whatever it means. Other rookies @cally Niall Nails @"Copenhaguen" Reidar Gronkjaer and @qWest Jack Nishimori all went on to block the chaos wizard's shots, despite questioning what does any of this had to do with Chaos Wizards. Angus had to explain that everything bad in this world was caused by chaos wizards and only by training hard and finding a legendary artifact could they be defeated, until they come back again.

To celebrate the new rookies, team captains, and upcoming season, the Main Timber made a trip to the local axe throwing emporium for some fun team building activities. The team captains got to go first. Captains Dogwood Maple and Sean Gatez did quite well, but Puddles O’Duck had a difficult time getting a good grip on his axe on account of not having any fingers on his wings (don’t ask me how he grips his stick!) All of us rookies did ok and had a good time. I personally accomplished my goal of not injuring or maiming any teammates. There was some excitement when goalie Bigga Foryu asked for a bigger axe as the ones provided were a bit small for the big meaty paws he calls hands. Somehow, this all ended with Foryu chasing fellow goalie Bloody Oath around with his axe muttering something about “pokechecking is an art you know nothing about” but the team was able to calm him down for someone got hurt or the police were called. Goalies sure are a different breed! Anyways, the team had a good time and got to know each other a little better, but I think next time we’ll stick with something that doesn’t involve sharp edges.

Soon after draft night’s occurrence and the contracts were signed, the Carolina management quickly sought to bring us all together. And how exactly does a management team get a group of red-blooded athletes to bond together? Why, board games of course! The night started well with a good game of Pandemic, to get us all working together whilst we laugh about the possibility of having to work these jobs in an actual pandemic. I of course went with the Quarantine Specialist because green is totally my colour. That worked really well in forming a good camaraderie. And of course, because Kraken management saw that we were getting along, they then decided that we were getting along too well, so the next game up was Betrayal at House on the Hill. I was lucky enough to end up being the traitor on haunt fifty-five. I was incredibly amped up to kill them all, yet Pat had a gun, and so he was able to just shoot me down at a distance until I died. A bit anti-climactic if you ask me, but still good fun was had in Charlotte that night.

Before our first practice as the Newfoundland Berserkers, management decided to have us run through the snow for cardio. I of course bonded with and ran alongside fellow countryman and bear wrestler Evgeni Petrov, but we also looped in fellow Russian Vaseline Podcalzone and 1st overall pick in the draft Aleksanders Balcers. We ended up finishing first, with the prize being the avoidance of extra push ups for losing. Turns out training in the harsh Russian winter had more benefits than anticipated. After a grueling cardio session, our coach revealed the initial pre-season lines. I was placed on the 4th line, with fellow rookies Robert E.O Speedwagon and Zach Washington. I figured the best way to get to know my new comrades was a nice beer at the pub. 8 beers later and after many bad karaoke renditions of The Tragically Hip, I think our Newfoundland 4th line is more than ready for the season.

After a long night of waiting to hear my name called, I was anxious to see the sights in Vancouver with my new teammates. After meeting in my new locker room, we decided to play some high stakes table tennis, where the loser would have to pay for a smorgasbord of traditional Canadian cuisine for the locker room. The games were intense as we worked our way through an impromptu bracket. A handful of rookies ended up making it to the top four, so we agreed to a split draw and shared the cost between us since we all figured none of us were particularly loaded (yet). We spent the rest of the night getting to know each other a bit better over poutine and ketchup chips, and I left the locker room that night feeling very comfortable with my new team. We're going to win it all this season.

The Anchorage Armada engaged in some repetitive chanting as a team-building exercise this offseason. Most players were clearly more used to trust falls and other more conventional team-building exercises, and the rookies were particularly slow to join in. The coaches began the chanting, shortly followed by team captain Michael Withecheck and other prominent tenured players such as Slava Petrov. Jay Sink and the other rookies soon found themselves joining in, and the whole team was chanting in unison "Anchorage is not a toxic locker room! Anchorage is not a toxic locker room!" until their throats were dry and their voices were hoarse. Jay Sink and the other rookies came away brainwashed convinced that the Anchorage Armada locker room is not toxic and find themselves thoroughly excited for the season ahead and the rest of their time in Anchorage. Asked about the exercise by a member of the team's media department, Jay Sink replied "It was great! I loved the exercise and I love Anchorage!". The interviewer turned to two other players for additional quotes, who repeated the exact words in the same enthusiastic tone. (184 words)
