I didn't play last night for the military appreciation night. We had camouflage jerseys on, and it was a pretty cool deal. After the game was over, all the game-worn jerseys were auctioned off and all the proceeds went to the Wounded Warrior Foundation. I think we raised about 5,000 dollars, maybe more, because most of the jerseys went for about 300 dollars. One jersey went for $550, but mine only went for $210. But I did get a jersey, which is exciting, and it had my name on it too. We ended up winning the game 4-3. It was a really good game, where I think we had the majority of the chances. It looked like we were going to have another game that we outplay the other team in and lose, but in the 3rd period, we scored 3 goals to win the game 4-3. We never gave up; I just wish I was out there.
But even when I'm not out there, I'm trying to take away as much as I can from the game. I try to put myself in other players' situations, and think about what I would do differently or the same as them, and I try to see what others do wrong, so if I get in the same situation, I can make the right play. I don't pout about not playing because I know it's part of junior hockey to sit out some games, but at the same time, it makes me want to work harder to make Coach want to play me every game.
