Dick Wizardry is NOT used to the cold in Yellowknife. He's trying of course, but it's rough going. In fact he's never watched this much film before, as he spends as much time as possible in the team headquarters working. There's not a ton else to do in the city after all. Practice has been getting going nicely though. Dick being Dick, he's trying to just be the best at everything, working with the return teams, the receivers, the running backs, and studying film with Ryan Applehort as well. His teammates are learning that underneath the loud, brash, opinionated exterior is a loud, brash, opinionated person who works really hard. And plays really hard. They're also learning that Dick is the guy who keeps posting the negative things other teams and pundits say about the Wraiths onto walls in the locker room, meeting room, lunch room, and even in the stall of a bathroom. He's been in the ear of multiple teammates letting them know exactly what's been said about them. And as the off-season and practice and team meetings have gone on, you can see the other players responding. You can see the team growing a chip on it's shoulder as it continually gets reminded that nobody thinks it will be any good. Dick Wizardry can't bring heat to Yellowknife's chilly climate, but he can bring it to the Wraiths' locker room.
