Not sure if it was included in the video (didn't watch it to be honest), but Howse apparently cut between 15-18 pounds and sorted out his off-ice regiment quite a bit.

Ward said that if he was most proud of any one player this year, it is Howse.

From Ward:

Quote:
“The guy has no numbers for us at all and he’s coming off 53 goals in the WHL, but this guy has made so many life changes and physical changes that he’s able to finally manage himself to be in the position of a good pro. It’s taken him to February 9th and it’s taken him almost this whole year to get to this spot. If you said, what are you proud of? This guy has chiseled 15-18 pounds off him. He’s changed physically; he’s matured off the ice.
