If you missed Part I you can find it HERE. And now here is a quick follow up from Jordan Papirny.
Hello,
So far these first few months of the season have been very busy! Lots of practicing, early mornings, and bus trips.
Coming up this Wednesday we head out
to Spokane to kick off our U.S. road trip. As a team we are growing and getting
better day by day, and I really think we're going to be a strong team. As for me, I've played 3 games so far and every time I'm in, I try and make the most of my opportunity. Some of the more challenging areas I've faced so far is consistency, whether its in practice or even in the games I've played. I think that at this level, that it is one of the most important things to manage but at the same time, one of the hardest.
I also think that another important aspect is just taking care of myself, whether its stretching properly, eating the right foods, and taking advantage of my rest. In a 72 game season I really think that little things like that can be the difference in consistency.
Working with our goalie coach Brent Zelenewich, we have really started to focus on being more efficient in the net. Especially at this level it is very important to move as little as you can while still being able to save the puck; trying to eliminate unnecessary movements.
Thanks for reading
