Maybe hot take (lukewarm take?) I think Lightning's winter sport would be wrestling, not basketball or hockey. I have no real reason besides I want it to be.
While I was literally typing this draft I suddenly thought of two real reasons. Crazy. One: I feel like the lowkey obsession wrestlers have to have with their bodies fits Lightning better. I don't think basketballers have that. Wrestlers were always doing some bs like not eating on meet days and running the hallways with 5 clothing layers on to lose weight in the hour. That feels like some shit Lightning would be on. I mean, his only concern about eating ambiguous grey slop is the protein content, so I don't think he eats functionally. There was a post I liked somewhere on here talking about team dudes atrocious eating habits, I'll find it and rb. Two: wrestling is an individual thing. Only you need to have it together to get to championships or whatever, basketball is a team thing. From how he talks about his football team, I'm pretty sure he doesn't like his teammates that much. I feel like his dad would eat up the fact he'd be doing an individual sport and wouldn't be weighed down by teammates.
So anyways, Lightning's varsity season rotation would be football -> wrestling -> baseball. There was a post on here that made the 'Lightning's going to strike' joke before me, so I'll find and rb that too.
