Too Long

It's been a while since I sat down to write the blog, mostly because I'm either at the rink, sleeping, or with the boys. A lot has happened the past two weeks, a brief recap would include opening the season 1-4-0, being named assistant captain, parties with the fellas, roadtrips to Detroit and Evansville, scoring the first ever professional goal in the "Cereal City", and an injury bug that has bitten 9 players on our 18 man roster. So where should I begin? Bad news first, opening up with only one win is a pain in the ass that none of us were expecting, but we are improving and having 9 guys hurt hasn't helped. But now the good news, it was an honor to be named an assistant captain of this years team and pretty cool to score the first professional goal at home last Friday (I scored 2 in that game for anyone who missed the boxscore.)

The past couple weeks we've been able to settle into a nice routine of morning practices with an afternoon nap and the freedom to do anything at night. Between the two houses there is usually always something to do on any night, whether it's going into Kalamazoo, playing NHL 09 on xbox 360 at the other house, or watching Aimone and Nigel cuddle with each other while watching the WWE. Bottom line is this is a fun team to be on and everyone has been getting along. We've watched some first year guys jump in the lake to get out of raking and house duties on more than one occasion and had a guy get caught his game broken up by 3 girls in the same night. Trust me the entertainment is good enough to be a hit reality tv show.

Now we just need to steal a page from the Boston Bruins and start winning some games and things will be perfect.

I'll try to keep a better running tab of the days events more often on here. Feel free to post or ask questions.
