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 just finished our second practice in Ogden. I had a much better practice. Still a little rough around the edges, but I can feel how much better I'm getting every day. I'm getting so much better on 2-on-1's, and 1-on-1's. Today we did a 1-on-1 drill that I and my coaches have been using to judge how much I'm improving. I feel really comfortable with my gap control and footwork, which has gotten so much better in the past two months, but I still make amateur mistakes sometimes that cause me to get beat, like crossing my feet or swinging my stick and missing a poke check. But I think when I figure those things out, no one will be able to beat me. Sometimes I do it perfectly and other times I get beat with a stupid mistake, which is frustrating.
