Let the hockey season begin!

The summer months (although we are still in August) feel like they've come and gone far too quickly for us this year. We've now settled into our home away from home across the border just in time for pre-season training and the camp.


My husband is gearing up for the season. The little boy inside of him dreams at night and hopes during the day that this year will be it. This will be the year they'll win the cup. I know he dreams about it not cause he's told me, but because whenever I catch a glimpse of him drifting off to sleep after a long day of training; its with a grin consumes his entire face....I've seen this face before over the course of our relationship and it's unmistakeable. At this level, when you've come so far and have worked so hard, they all have to believe. They need to believe that there's a chance that they could reach that next level in their career, that's what keeps them going. They all dream the same thing but hopefully they do not lose sight of what is more important, that they are living their dreams.

As for me, the summer months although they were cut sort were filled with family, friends, weddings, and travelling in Europe. Now it's almost time to hit the books again, while I sharpen my mind he sharpens his blades, or has already has, over the course of the past month and a bit.

Once again I am very excited to share all the excitement, trials, tribulations and comedy that will go on in our life this year so without an further adieu.

Let the hockey season begin!
