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.

2 Down, 4 to Go

We won 6-2 tonight, but the game was a lot closer, I think, than the score dictates. We played OK as a team. I don't think we played nearly as well as we can, but a win's a win, and a win in playoffs is always much better than the alternative. San Diego came out pretty hard tonight as their season was on the line, but I think we definitely could've had more of a killer instinct. I think sometimes, though, good teams play down to a lesser team's level, and that might've happened at some points of the game tonight. We got the win, though, and now we're through to the next round against the Phoenix Polar Bears. We were all happy about the win, but there wasn't much celebrating in the locker room after the game. We're on a mission to get 6 wins. 6 wins, and we win the league. We are all focused on that goal; winning one playoff series is nice, but we want more.

Tonight, I didn't have as sharp of a game as I did last night, but I still played solid. I made some mistakes, but overall, I think I played well. I scored again, which was a good feeling. In the 3rd period, the puck came to me in the slot, and I ripped it top corner. It was a good goal and put us up 5-2. I'm excited about the win, but I know we still have a lot of work to do this year.
