Why Rod Had Every Hurricane Lifting a Cinder Block for the Last 5 Years

Every Carolina Hurricanes player, from Sebastian Aho to Jordan Staal to K'Andre Miller, walked into the weight room every single day for the last five years. They lifted weights. They did their conditioning work. They finished their session. And before they walked out that door, every single one of them had to pick up a cinder block, hold it over their head, and press it into the air one time. They did this every single day. For five years. And not one of them knew why. Until the Stanley Cup Final. Let me tell you the story.
