As our weekend road trip to Cortland and Oswego comes to an end, our Thanksgiving break begins. We may not have gotten the results we wanted, but we have to focus on the positives that we can take from the weekend and keep moving forward. If anything, this weekend just goes to show how competitive this league is and that it takes a full 60 minutes every night. That said, I think spending some time away from the rink and being with family is necessary. It is a time to put school aside for a week to reset and recharge for a very important stretch coming up after our break. Everyone is excited to get back home and enjoy some home cooked meals and get away from campus food, except for Al, who is dreading being away from his beloved Erie Marketplace for an entire week. Some guys had some early departures this morning as they had to catch some early flights back home. I think this morning was the earliest Stevie Castriota has woken up since breakfast club as he had to catch his flight back to Long Island, while guys like Mat Hehr took the opportunity to head back to Alberta and enjoy the snow and cold weather. Nevertheless, I hope everyone had safe travels today and I am already looking forward to when we are all back as a group again.
