(S18) - PT4 - Fall

Playing in the NSFC, being prepared for cold weather games is always important, especially when you have to go play an away game basically in the Arctic Circle. We have a few less than conventional methods for dealing with the cold, here they are.

First of all, the Hawks coaches often make us practice in just our underwear outside when we are preparing for a cold weather game. The logic behind it is that if you get used to playing in the cold with nothing on, that playing in the cold with clothes on will be a piece of cake. It is a little frustrating though with the coaches always spending these games inside heated enclaves while we freeze our asses off. This also has caused some issued with Xandra Troyski at practice, but I am not allowed to talk about that until the lawsuit finishes

Another thing the coaches like to do is work on fundamentals in wind tunnels. This can help us in breezy situations which we might come across, especially in Chicago. It's good work, but the staff can get out of hand at times. You should see how ForThe Brand looks when he's trying to kick field goals while the wind tunnel is on max
