Find a Happy Place

I had a lot of time to think yesterday after the game. We lost 4-3 in Aberdeen, and we weren't allowed to talk at all on the 3 hour bus ride home. I was bummed about not playing, but I think I will get a chance soon. Sometimes, I start to have some self doubt, and it's hard to get rid of it. But last night I got some texts from friends at the first home game of the year at DU. It got me really excited. I know the Sunderlands might not like this because they're die-hard North Dakota fans, but when I picture myself in a DU or Colorado College uniform, I get really happy and excited about playing Division I college hockey. I really think I can, and it helps it become more of a reality when I envision myself playing in a DU uniform. Jack, I'm sorry, I will take the knife out of your back when I come home at Christmas, but it's always been my dream. I have a long road left to go before playing Division I--I haven't even really played one game in the NAHL yet--but I know I can, and picturing myself playing there only helps raise my confidence when I'm doubting myself.
