Philadelphia Flyers Endure Grueling Rope Drill at Training Camp

John Tortorella's infamous conditioning test pushes players to their limits on the first day of camp.

The Flyers' training camp kicked off with John Tortorella's notorious rope drill, designed to test players' physical and mental endurance.
The drill involves skating laps around nets tied together with a rope, which are gradually moved apart, leaving players exhausted.
Veteran players like Travis Konecny and newcomers such as Jamie Drysdale and Matvei Michkov faced the challenging test.
Tortorella uses the drill to ensure players maintain their fitness over the summer and to gauge their resilience under pressure.
Despite the grueling nature of the test, all players completed it, with some expressing relief and a sense of accomplishment.
