Ultimini 18 was a bitter end to the Wraiths season last year. It was a bit of a miracle run last year during my first NSFL season that ended in heartbreak. Immediately after that game all the boys were sitting in the locker room hanging their heads. Ryan Leaf Jr was so upset that he curled up in the fetal position, balling his eyes out and begging for his mommy. That was a tough way to end the year and from that moment on the Wraiths knew we needed a big offseason to help us get over that hump. At that very moment the team made a huge decision...instead of us all going home for the offseason to see our friends and families we decided to stay in the frozen white tundra to ensure that heartbreak didn't happen again. The entire team began a rigorous northern workout regime highlighted by reindeer wrangling and igloo building (ice and snow are much heavier than you think). The boys lived on a diet of seal and Arctic hare which are both very high in protein which helped us maximize muscle mass. This lifestyle was tough and although most of us thrived one notable former Wraith, Leaf Jr couldn't handle the hard work and he caved and left the team in free agency. With Leaf gone the team was able to fully focus with no distractions. This is a damn good team this year.
