Oh man the cold, with my origins being in Finland, let me tell you about the cold. Some people might say they enjoy the cold or do not mind playing in the cold, but they are mostly those pansy little California boys who have never grown up with it and have damn near no idea what it really means. For me coming to Yellowknife was kind of like going back to my early days back home in Finland. The winter comes early and it comes hard at us, but thats all the same to us, because it helps us prepare better than any other team. Early on in the season we keep doing outdoor practices even when the temperatures get so low that many others would feel it wise to go indoors. Of course we take some practices indoors, but its is good to get used to the elements, because we will be playing in them. Another good drill or exercise that we switch to in the winter is snow running, which is a modification of basic uphill running, but this time on a hill covered in snow and man I can tell you, it really gets your thighs and legs going! I think as a whole our whole defense gets better in cold weather games! The quarterbacks never love it when the ball is cold and hard to throw, receivers don't like catching the balls and runners do not like holding them, but man do we defenders like driving at them hard and knocking the ball loose. So yeah, it is time for our defense to really shine!
