Can't Wait for Nationals

We had 2 nice days off after we got back from El Paso, and today we're back on the ice for practice. It was great to have 2 days off, but I'm ready to get back out on the ice. I'm so excited about these next two weeks because I've never participated in a national tournament of any kind, and I really think we can make some noise there. We found out what our schedule is. Here is the link to the website with the schedule and other information: http://www.rochsports.org/hockey/index.html. I can't wait. It's a great opportunity for all of us individually because I think there will be a lot of scouts at the tournament, we have a solid team that I think can compete with anyone in the country at this level when we play to our potential, and my family is coming to watch. It should be really fun. I'm so excited! We still have another week before we head to Rochester, so I'm going to really work hard in practices this week and next week to prepare for the tournament and continue to try and get better every time I touch the ice. This season is winding down, and I have to cherish the last few weeks. We're one of the few teams at this level in the nation still playing, but we can't get complacent after winning the Thorne Cup because I think we have a chance to do very well at nationals. It's time to really focus, though.
