First Game!

Last night was the first time I was able to actually play! My first ever Junior Hockey game! We were playing the worst team in the league but they played well, their shots were kinda scarce but they were pretty good quality. I was backing up for my buddy Boyko, he one hundred percent hates playing them because they are not great and their shots don't come very constant. Boyko let in four goals in the first period and a half, that is when coach told me to go in. I honestly have never been more nervous in my life to play. Not only was I taking the spot from my friend, but I that was only the second game that I had even dressed in, so I had literally forgotten what a game even felt like. I made some pretty good saves and was able to keep all but one goal out which was very good, the one goal I really should have had but it was a pretty decent shot so I wasn't too worried about it. We ended up winning 8-5. It was very intense and EVERYONE on my team was happy for me quite literally, I hadn't experienced that part before, everyone really was waiting for me to get a shot to play. They all congratulated me on playing well. Coach even gave me the game puck at the end of the game for playing well. It was al such an amazing feeling couldn't believe it.

Now I'm back in my new house sitting in my nice bed, really reminds me of my bed back home :). We have the day off completely today no practice, I don't think I am going to go down and work on my own I will probably just work out a little up here, maybe a run or something. I am for sure going to do some school work today though and hopefully get some college stuff done as well.

Emily and I are just super too, we are both so excited about the game still and just loving all of this right now. It is so exciting, I am so glad she got to listen along with my family and her family. I was so honored that they did. Baby I miss you and I love you so much!
