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.

That Was Fun

Last night I had my best game of the year by far. I was making smart passes, hitting, beating people behind our net, shooting the puck well; I just felt really confident, and I don't remember making any mistakes. It felt awesome to finally play the way I know I can play. I had an all around good game. I probably had 5 or 6, maybe more, good shots, I played a big part in setting up our second goal of the game, the game-winner, I got stitched up in the second period, and I was knocking people around. I want to keep that going tonight. It felt so good to play the way I want to finally, and it was just a really fun game to play in. Tonight, we can clinch home ice advantage for the playoffs with a win.

After the game, the coaches called me to the front of the bus, just to tell me how well they thought I played last night and how confident I looked on the ice. They want me to keep playing that way, and I want to keep playing that way. I know I can now, and that's just a big confident boost for me going down the stretch.
