Over the offseason, Graj Virrok's plan to improve his game is kind of simple but is also incredibly difficult. Over the offseason, he changed positions from goalie to defenseman, and as a result, he is having to re-learn his new position. He is quite good at intercepting the puck, and his reaction times are very good - however, he is having a very difficult time learning how to not block shots with his glove. His first practice, the coach whipped a shot at the goal and Graj went to catch it, which was a very bad mistake. The puck glanced off of his thumb and did miss the goal, but it was a very painful experience that Graj never wants to experience again. He has wrapped his hand in large amounts of athletic tape and gotten a glove with extra padding to help, and he is getting better, but it's still a journey for him to go on to get to the point of being a truly good defenseman. Hopefully he will have broken the habit by the time the season starts!

Thanks to EAB and sulovien for the sigs!

Daryl Urquhart is definitely not a prototypical SHL Defenseman when it comes to his physical build. Certainly not the biggest, tallest, most muscular. He set out to be more of a puck mover, being a nuisance from the point on power plays etc. His time in St Louis, however, changed up the way he plays hockey. Ever the team player, when they realised they were haemorrhaging goals, the coaches asked him if he would learn to play more defensively. This has continued into his time in the SHL. As a More defensively minded player, he now sees special teams time on the penalty kill, not the power play. This off season, he has been working on his strength, to let him be more of a physical presence at the blueline. He’s a natural underdog, so letting others look at him and think ‘he ain’t so big’, before he turns them inside out with a big check, is extremely satisfying!

Dwight Knight has a lot of passion projects, recently he has gotten into the hobby of identifying wood. Ever since Dwight was in the dentist office a book caught his attention. It was the wonderful work of R. Bruce Hoadley Titled "Identifying Wood: Accurate Results with simple tools". This was riveting to Dwight. He asked to borrow this book to take home to fully immerse himself on the subject. He started in the kitchen looking around and saw that his cabinets were wood. Dwight then moved to his counters to see if there was anything there that was wood. Wouldn't you know that the knife block was also wood. Dwight felt that his world had opened up with this game changing read. With this new found power Dwight really decided to spice things up. He called over his buddy Sam to identify wood in the bedroom. It turns out there was wood all over the place.

Harrington has recently gotten into painting. Many things have happened in his life, and he needed an outlet to express his feelings about those memories. Harrington unfortunately is not a very good painter, so they are pretty difficult, maybe even impossible for the average person to decipher. Common themes in the paintings include a small dark disc, which many believe to be a hockey puck, representing his current occupation as a hockey player. There is also a lot of monsters and general horror imagery, possibly a representation of his trauma from being attacked by otherworldly beings in his youth. There also i usually some kind of box on a stick, that seems to represent a camera. Harrington has spent much of his adult life in front of a camera as an actor, and as a hockey player. He has always been in the spotlight. Perhaps he has taken up painting for the peace and quiet he gets.
