Well Christmas break is all over and we are well into our second week of school here at UOIT. Hockey is in full force, and coming off a tough weekend we are now starting our new schedule of three 6am practices a week. Coming up, we have five out of town games in a row. With our early mornings and travel it is going to be quite the start to the semester. Time management has never seemed so important. We currently have study rooms booked for every Wednesday at 6-9pm for athletes, so that is definitely going to be helpful. Personally I am going to be bringing my books and laptop on the road with me and by the looks of it so is everyone else. With the end of Christmas and the new semester costs it is no wonder everyone is stressed out.
Good thing coach is taking us for a nice meal before Friday’s game; that will help relax everyone before a big game against Western. I am really proud of how my team finished off the first half of the season. For a young, new program I feel as though we are making some very positive strides in the right direction. We have a challenge coming up with all of the travel, not to mention dealing with some injuries. However, if we all come together I feel we can finish the season out strong and make a big impact on the OUA for the first time. With all the travel it is important to make sure we are eating right and getting as much rest as possible. We are facing some diversity and coach says the most important thing to focus on is our character. If we do that then no matter what the outcome we can be proud of ourselves.
The playoff push is on...
