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.

Ready for the Weekend

I had a good week of practice. I think I got better as the week went on, as I got more used to the drills. Like I said, I think it's hard to feel comfortable right away on a new team, but this is the 3rd new team I've been on this year, and it should be easier for me to acclimate here. I think also being around coaches who believe in me and who are excited to teach me has made me much more confident than I was in both Bismarck and New Mexico. I've been able to show my strengths much better than I did in both places before here. The coach here really likes my shot, and I think he's going to turn me into a completely different, much better hockey player. I've learned so much in only two weeks of practice. I think I did well this week in practice, but I think I can do better, and it starts this weekend. 3 games against the Valencia Flyers. We have 2 games (Friday and Saturday) up in McCall, a mountain town about 2 hours north, where we get a lot of support, and then on Sunday, we have a game at the Qwest Arena in downtown Boise. It should be a fun weekend, and I'm excited to finally play again!
