(S29) PT 1 - Training Camp

[LancedJack]

Training camp this year for the Yeti was absolutely nothing to shirk. Turning up in the freezing months of January and February and being made to dive into the depths of the Himalayas to hunt our titular namesake as a bonding exercise was definitely not what Rucker expected when he signed in free agency. It was a four week expedition, consisting of a forced march on the first day for 24 hours until such time as we were in the depths of the mountains themselves. From there we did a seven on seven scrimmage in complete silence, as coach Moose put it "Like football monks." The idea being that silence would prevent an avalanche and also not drive off any wild Yeti that may be lingering and ready to be recruited to the team given half the chance and an ability to translate English into Yeti. In spite of the best efforts of everyone involved however all that happened was the Yeti caught borderline hypothermia and spent 4 weeks up a bloody mountain chasing after an, as of yet, fictional creature. There's no doubt in Ruckers mind the yeti exists. It has to. But it's certainly not up that mountain. All that's up there is a defensive masterclass and an offensive powerhouse, locked in a silent scrimmage.
