"Any internal competition is healthy as long as everybody takes it that way," said Brossoit. "It's a positive thing. If we're pushing each other, we're only going to get better."
Brossoit has joined the Condors at a good time. The club is feeling loose but playing tight, keeping an upbeat attitude in the dressing room after coming out of the Christmas break with points in each of their past five games. Although Brossoit was initially dispirited due to the reassignment, the current complexion of the squad has been uplifting.
"The energy is very contagious," he said. "It's nice to come into a dressing room that's feeling good. Everybody seems to get along really well so I'm looking to fit in and add to it."
The netminder will get his first opportunity to fit back in on Wednesday when he starts against the Stars. He's approaching the situation by looking at its silver linings and how it could enhance his development, which remains of utmost importance.
"If you look at the big picture, there's always some good to come from it," said Brossoit. "It may be a blessing in disguise to be able to get back into game shape by playing more and feeling the puck.
"That's the best thing for my development."
