I didn't get to play tonight, but my night was made a lot better by getting to see my brother. He drove from San Luis Obispo to see me play, but I ended up getting scratched. Of course I was a little bummed but seeing my brother made me really excited and he seemed happy just watching hockey even though I wasn't playing. We lost 6 to 1 tonight and honestly got outplayed. It was a tough loss, but I think the highlight of my trip was definitely seeing my brother. I haven't seen him in a few months and it was just refreshing to see him. I think I could've helped the team tonight but I didn't get a chance and that's just part of the deal of playing juniors. Now it's back to work and back to trying to prove myself as a good defenseman on this team.
