I'd imagine Ortio will get put on a strength and conditioning plan by Rich Hesketh, who generally does that with everyone in the organization. Greg Nemisz came to town early last summer to work with Hesketh and the coaching staff, so the precedent is there. Once a goalie coach is in place, I wouldn't be surprised if Ortio spent some time with them learning the ins and outs of the smaller ice.
