This morning we got to sleep in because the final all-star game of the camp was at 12:45. I woke up, got a good breakfast in me, and started getting ready for the game. Before I left the house, my roommate, Justin, asked me what my goals are for the season. I didn't really have to think about it too long because I have been for a while. I want to be a captain on the team, and if not a captain, at least a leader. I think I have the potential to be that kind of impact player that teammates look up to. And I want to be known as the best and smartest defenseman in this league. That doesn't mean I have to be the flashiest or have the most points or be the toughest--I want to be the smartest--and I think that can include little bits and pieces of all the above.
The game today went really well. It was definitely the most high-paced game of the weekend because it was an all-star game with better players. Still, it's a little weird playing with someone you've never played with before, but it makes it easier when your defense partner is at least a little better at playing their position. My team won 2-1, and I think I played my best game of the weekend. I know I can play better, but I'm still excited about how I'm playing this early on in the season because I know I will only continue to get better and better just like last year.
Tomorrow, I start work early in the morning, and I'm really excited!
