My name is Connor Tedstrom. I played high school hockey in Colorado for 4 years, and during my senior year, I decided I wanted to pursue playing junior hockey and Division I college hockey. This is the story of going from Colorado High School Hockey to junior hockey from my perspective: my thoughts, experiences, and lessons learned along the way.

A Fun Night


We had our rookie dinner last night at Red Lobster. All the rookies were dressed up, mostly as girls. We got together at one of the vets' house and took some pictures before we went out to dinner. The looks we got when we first walked in to Red Lobster were pretty funny, and I could hear some people murmuring when we walked by. My costume didn't win, but it was still fun to be there with everyone. The bill ended up being 800 dollars, and the rookies didn't even get to order food. So the vets went pretty wild with everything they ordered. It wasn't bad, though, since there are 15 rookies. We all split the bill and only had to pay 60 dollars each. The bill was 23 dollars less than last year...I was expecting the worst all dinner because it seemed like the vets were constantly ordering food and drinks.

Today, we have a day off. I think I deserve a nice day off, mentally and physically, so I didn't go into the rink to skate today. And Sam said I shouldn't go anyways because Coach told us he didn't want to see anyone around the rink today. I still am going to go and work out, but I'm going to stay off the ice today.
