Hi bloggers, your
favorite Swede #11 Marcus Andersson here with another post!
It’s February 12th
and there are four games left of the season. Even if it’s really too soon to
summarize it – we have four games left to win – I must say that this season has
been the fastest season of my career.
We did know from the
beginning of the season that we only had around four months to play and
compete, but I could never imagine it would fly by this fast.
Here’s one thing many
people didn’t know about me: my first TEN years of my hockey career, I played on
an outdoor rink. Back then, when growing up, my teammates and I never knew how
long the season would be. A sudden heat attack or too much rainy weather could
destroy the ice any day.
But that didn’t matter
– I loved every second on that rink.
However, when the weather
was getting warmer in the beginning of March, my teammates and I knew that the
season was coming to an end. The ice could be ruined overnight, which meant
that the season could end very abruptly. It was always tough. When I was 16
years old I changed teams.
Now, I have the
privilege to play in Steele Hall Arena. Even if this season seems to be shorter
than what we were all hoping for, we still know that we have three more chances
to show our home audience what we can do. I can appreciate the small fact that we
actually know the end date. It will still be tough, but at least it makes it
possible for us to prepare for life without skating every day.
We know when the end
is, which means that we know that it still isn’t over. We will keep fighting
all the way to the end, which Buffalo State will see this weekend.
Still, we have more to
show. Still, we have more hockey to play. No heat attack or no rainy weather
can change that.
Thank you for reading,
#11 Marcus Andersson
