Rock Bottom('s Bench)

[Phil 5,130]

As it happens, the future STAR of the Seattle Bears (*wink wink @Banackock!) has been benched by the coaching staff, in attempts to make gains in the standings. 

 

The benching happened earlier this week and hasn't really been seen as a surprising move. 

 

"I wasn't producing, or impressing the organization, so the coaches decided to bench me. I'm not upset or mad, if anything, it just drives me to work on my game harder."

 

Seattle went on to win the next 3 games in a row, where the Rock played a combined 4 minutes of ice-time.... yet DESPITE this he still managed to register a point - dishing out a sweet assist, bring his points tally to a staggering 3!! 

 

"I try to make big plays and set my teammates up for success. Knowing I'll only play 1 or 2 shifts a game means I have to make those shifts count and give it my all."

 

This team-first mentality is highly valued in the league and the Seattle Organization have been grateful that this is the reaction the Rock has chosen to display. Potentially with more practice hours, we'll be seeing a lot more of the Rock next season!
