I
would like to start by congratulating all the boys on the black team
(including myself) for the big comeback overtime win yesterday. Congrats
to Slicky for the cannon of a shot from the point to win us the game in
OT. I think what helped us yesterday was are strong defensive play lead
by JD who played well on his debut as a defenseman (we only had 3 D so
JD stepped up for us). Putting the
fun/competitive skate
highlights aside, the tempo of our skates continue to get faster and
faster. Our mind set this year is to have a good, fast start and everyone
is buying into that plan. We are all anxiously awaiting the start of
the new season, where we all expect big things from each and every one of
us.
A few weeks back at are first
organizational meeting Coach Meredith gave us the name and email of a
former Blue Devil player who won a SUNYAC Championship. The alumni will be
returning to campus to relive the great memories of their Championship wins in 1993-94 and 1994-95 along with their Frozen Four appearances. I was
given #9, Peter Varrone name and email and asked him what it takes to win a
championship. The next day he replied that it's an unbelievable
feeling of accomplishment. To win something special with your hockey
family that you battled with all year long is very rewarding.

Peter
explained the one major thing that made his 1994-1995 team superior was
the fact that is was always "WE". He explained that his team did
everything together whether it was eating, studying or just hanging out.
As a result he said they were the closest family he's ever been apart
of and the bond they formed extends to this day.It was great hearing
from Peter and I am looking forward to the opportunity to meet him.
On
a different note, yesterday was my first day leading the Yoga/
Stretching session and it went very well. Moby needs a little work with
the gluteus maximus stretch but that will come with more practice.
Bye for now,
