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.

Off to a Good Start

I've had a good two days of practice so far. I'm excited about how much I'm improving, and I think I've been competing really hard in battle drills and done well in skill drills. Today, I was mad in practice; I think it's a good thing for me to get mad sometimes. My coach singled some people out for working hard and never complaining, and he didn't mention me. That hurt my pride, and it just made me mad to be honest. I started throwing bodies around, like I know I can with my size, but when I get mad, I throw my body around a little more than usual. I don't know if it was a ploy to see what happens when I get mad, or if he actually thinks that I don't work hard and that I complain too much. Nevertheless, I didn't like it, and I'm going to let my anger feed over into my play the rest of this week.
