Rock Off-Season

[Phil 5,025]

The Rock will be plugging away at some of his latent hockey skills... namely all of them.

 

"I've got a lot of work to put in... in all areas and facets of my game. It's kind of daunting, knowing that to be a the calibre of a BAD VHL player I need to improve so much in every sense of my game, so going to the gym 10 times a weeks is just not going to cut it. I mean, it will help my strength and checking and endurance.. and possibly skating (with all the HIIT I'm doing) but I will be needing to hit the ice and practice some real hockey-specific training methods."

 

The Rock is full of fire to help him get to were he wants to go, but is that going to be enough? Just wanting something doesn't necessary predict success. After a dismal and brief rookie campaign he'll be setting his sights on more ice time and the Funk Trophy, the VHL's most improved player award, but at this point it seems he will be happy with just getting a normal amount of ice time every game. Let's see what Season 77 brings!
