Hell Week started with a bang today. We had a 2 mile test first thing in the morning. I came through in first place on the team. It's a good way to get off on the right foot, but I know the week is only going to get tougher. We have another workout tomorrow at 9, and it goes for about an hour and a half. I know this week is all about mental toughness and showing the coaches your work ethic, and I will keep working as hard as I can. I want to make this team. There are 32 guys at training camp and only 23 spots, so work is cut out for me. I have to make myself noticed because I'm a rookie and haven't proved myself yet. I'm confident, though, that I can show the coaches that I am not afraid to work harder than anyone else to achieve my goal of making the 23 man roster. At Bunny's house, we've been watching Hardknocks, a show about the New York Jets training camp. I think what I'm about to go through will be a lot like that. The coaches expect hard work and execution in everything. If you don't work hard, you're gone, easy as that. I want to be a Bobcat.
The house I'm staying at is great. The couple I'm living with is really into having hockey players around, and they are making me feel very comfortable in their home. It's been fun for the first few nights, but now I know the hard work is about to start. And it's only going to get harder.
