What’s in Bork Björnsson’s locker? Right now, a bunch of raw fish and coal.
You see, it’s customary for each team in the NSFL to haze their rookies, and all traditions are different. Some teams make them carry the vet’s pads to and from practice, some make them pay for the team’s meals, and others traditionally hurl insults at the rookies during their contract negotiations. The Yellowknife Wraith’s traditional rookie hazing strategy is to ambush them in the locker room, pick them up, carry them out of the stadium, and throw them into the frigid Great Slave Lake.
There’s one little problem though… Bork is too heavy. During the struggle, three chairs were broken and a hole was made in a door, but Bork escaped un-thrown in a lake thanks to his. The vets had to think of a new plan.
And thus, a new rookie hazing ritual was born. What two things does Yellowknife have in abundance, other than Canadians? The city was founded as a mining town, and has a strong fishing industry, so the natural answer was fish and coal. The vets gathered as much raw fish and coal from the local Sears (which they apparently still have in Canada) and stuffed Bork’s locker full of it.
And now all of Bork’s clothes and equipment is a sooty black and smells like fish. The fish smell he’s well acquainted with, being from Iceland. But the chalky dust will take some getting used to. Nonetheless, this welcome certainly helps Yellowknife feel more like home.
