For players, the locker room is more than a place where they store their football equipment and their regular clothes. It is a personal space in the maddening chaos that is the world of the NSFL, a place where a player’s personality and identity can shine through. It is a sacred place, but only for some.

Alexandre LeClair’s locker is definitely not as flashy as some of the ones around him, such as Josh Bercovici’s or None Stormblessed but is one of the more intriguing ones to look inside of. On the top shelf, there is an item to represent each of the opposing teams in the league. An Otters’ paw, a hawk’s wing, a cat’s tail, a slightly dirty red bandana with a gun motif, a hairy man’s severed foot, a Casper the friendly ghost statuette, and an old wrapper from Taco Bell. The rest of the locker looks to be normal, with a long mirror attached on the inside of the locker’s door. In the compartment at the very bottom there are candles, nails and a butcher’s knife. Rumour around the team is that LeClair comes into the locker room the night before a game and performs a ritual of some sort to curse the visiting team. This has been unconfirmed as of today, but there is always a lingering smell of burnt wax in the locker room.

Perhaps legion management should install a 24 hour closed circuit camera to investigate….
