Yellowknife is much further north in comparison to Philadelphia but I'm no stranger to snow. We're just so excited to be starting a new period to our lives here.

Which offensive player on the Wraiths are you most looking forward to playing against in training camp?There are a few offensive weapons on our team that I'm especially excited about. One you may find surprising is Rolf Larsendorf who will be playing Fullback on our team. He is a unique weapon and we hope to utilize his skill set to the best of our ability.

Have the Wraiths given you any indication of what LB position they'll be playing you at?From what I know, the Wraiths have every intention of making me the starting MLB on the team. I'm going to be asked to be a leader of the defense and star production is what is going to be expected of me.

Strong spots?I absolutely love the defense we have going into this season. We have an outstanding line of all active players in Varga, Ramiro, Spearhead, and Bender. Our linebacker corps is also excellent with myself, Flimjollywop, and Hampshireton. There aren't any positions in our defense that I would call weak but the secondary in likely our most underwhelming unit. Dirk Cutter is a stud and will anchor down our Cornerbacks and the team has put a lot of faith in Alex Hansen but there is some doubts whether or not we have depth in case of inactivity, especially with the safeties. Our best unit on defense without a doubt must be the defensive line though. They will be tough to hold.
