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.

We won against the Fresno Monsters today, 4 to 1. I played a pretty solid game. I made a few mistakes, but overall played a smart game and was +1. Once or twice I tried to skate up ice with the puck, and Coach didn't like that. It was something we talked about before the game. He wants me to focus on making the smart play every time. He said to be a good defenseman you don't have to be flashy, you just have to defend and get the puck up ice. He said Nik Lidstrom is the best defenseman in the NHL because he always makes the smart play, and he never tries to beat someone one on one out of the defensive zone like I do some times. He said he's happy with the way I'm playing, but I really need to work on a few little things to improve my game.
