What did you just call me?

Say that again coach...a what? An athlete?  Well I have to say I have been called a lot of things but I never thought that would be something I would hear...Yup folks that's right my coach, Pixel Ninja called me an ATHLETE!..

(Left to right Kitty Von Doom, Smokey 5-0, Me, Pixel Ninja and I'd Hit That)

So you cant see the expression on my face but the look on Smokey 5-0 and I'd Hit That is pretty close to the look on mine...LOL.  Pixel Ninja was talking to us about the skills test. He was talking to us about how we need to be dedicated to this and that doesn't mean just coming to practice 3 times a week...it means doing push ups, squats, sit ups at home on our nights off...it means endurance training and dedication to want to go further.  He's right though professional hockey players don't just go to practice and play a few games then go home and do nothing...they work out on their time off for hours at a time...by no means will I be a professional athlete but he's right ya know it does take more than just the minimum to be good and to be a winning team so if I'm doing more and that makes me an athlete I'll take it :)

Here I go into new days,
