When Bork Björnsson landed in Yellowknife, nothing could have prepared him for the frozen wastes that now surrounded him. Actually, that’s not true, as Bork was born and raised Iceland. Bork breathed in the crisp arctic air and felt at home.
At training camp, Bork and the other Wraiths rookies worked as hard as anybody else in the league, and the coaches were impressed. Smallwood impressed in the wide receiver drills, and there is talk of him serving as the WR3 at some point during the season. Cushing, the outspoken media darling, stood out at the linebacker position and in his leadership. Bork impressed the coaches with his dominance at the defensive tackle position, his speed and agility propelling his 360-pound frame around the field at blazing speeds. To no one’s surprise, standout cornerback Dermot Lavelle stole the show at training camp, finishing the first day with four interceptions during the 7 on 7s.
The Wraiths emphasized improving their defense with the S2 rookie draft, and the defensive rookies dominated most of the drills throughout training camp. The coaches (and the Canadian media) were impressed, and hopes are high in Yellowknife that the new rookie class will help bolster their defense to the same levels as their elite offense.
