WHAT VACATION?!

Thanksgiving break is going to be very short this year for our team. Usually, I get to go home and enjoy the time with my family, and I was really looking forward to seeing my little dog Charlie, but our team has games and we have to be back here the day after Thanksgiving. It really sucks, this is probably my favorite time of year with all the seasonal food that's out and everything...pumpkin pie, apple cider, butternut squash, TURKEY! Most people would probably just be like "Oh suck it up you'll be home two weeks later for Christmas" Wellllll...the winter sports teams have to be back here on or around New Year's. This means no New Year's celebrations, no month home, we're lucky if we get two full weeks. I hope that the sacrifice is worth it and we win some big games during winter session. We have all home games for the most part, which is good because who wants to travel in the cold weather, but it also kind of sucks because no one will be here to be our fans except the other teams. That's not nearly the size of the crowd we normally get. Hopefully it will pay off, and I'll just make sure to stuff my face that much more to make up for the lost time. Too bad I couldn't bring Charlie back to school with me, although he'd probably be lonely with me being gone at practice. Hope everyone has a nice break...a nice LONGGGG break. I'm not bitter at all.

The National Champs

We our coming off our first league win against Geneseo. We won in overtime 3-2. Now this week we have been preparing for a huge game on friday night against Oswego. Last year they were first in our league and won the National Championship for all Division 3 hockey schools. Tickets have been sold-out since Monday. This past week we as a team have been working extra hard in practice to make sure we are well prepared to play on friday night. I love playing in their arena because it is brand new and they always have a lot of fans watching. Oswego is a fast and strong team, they are made up of mostly Canadians that are big and tough. It should be another good test for us. If we can beat them we will put our team on the map and everyone will be afriad to play us. We are leaving friday afternoon at 3 p.m. we will probably arrive in Oswego around 5p.m. at that point we will go and put our equipment into the lockerroom and start our pregame workout. We always stretch and warm-up as a team for a bout 30 minutes. Our warm-up is kind of funny we do this thing where we have pretend like we are boxing and we have punch and move around to get our legs loose. We also have to cheer and chant as loud as we can so the other team heres us, it's to get inside the other teams head. Hopefully we win this weekend and improve our record and make a name for ourselves. Wish us luck!

Another Weekend.......

This weekend coming up should be a lot of fun. Well first we have two away games this weekend. Friday night against Brockport, we should win this game but I don't know now that we have our backup goalie in net. Then we come home friday night, we do not stay over. Saturday morning we get up early to get a team skate in and get our legs ready for the game. Then we get our stuff ready to go to Geneseo. Geneseo is a bout 2 hours away and they are a good team so it should be a great test for us. Whenever we play them they have a packed house with a band and everything. It really pumps me up for the game. Then after the game we head home to catch the end of the cortaca weekend of partying. The hockey house is having the grand opening of there bar that they have been building since the beginning of the year. It fill's up the whole basement, it has a beer pong table already built in,a dart board put in the wall, a bathroom, and frig. I can not wait to go party there from now on. Also next year I'm moving into the hockey house and im going to have the bar at my own disposal. We should arrive back in Cortland around midnight we I will head home to shower and change again, then head over to the hockey house for the grand opening of the bar.

Ben Binga

After our first games at home this weekend didn't go as well as we expected. We lost both games. Potsdam won 5-2 and Plattsburgh won 4-2. Our goalie Ben Binga stoped 50 of 54 shots against Plattsburgh, but took some really stupid penalty's that cost us the game. We were winning 1-0 going into the third period and Binga got frustrated for some reason and took two bad penalty's that cost us 2 goals and as our coach says, " it is very hard to kill off goalie penalty's." So on Monday we watched video of the game and the coach was going saying how well we played and everything and then we got to the third period when Binga had taking his bad penalty's and coached pointed it out and told Binga infront of everyone that you just can't do that and it basically cost us the game. When our coach said that you could tell that Ben Binga was upset and angry that the coach said that. So yesterday when I went into the locker Binga equipment was not in his stall. Then I found out that from our coach that Ben Binga quit. No one really liked Binga cause he would cost us just a bout every game with his bad penalty's even if he would make 100 saves he would still cost us the game. I'm glad he's gone and hopefully our back up goalie will do well and make us win.

Home Games this WEEKEND!!

Our first home game is tommorow night at 7 p.m. We are playing Potsdam which is not a strong team, but it still should be a good game. We are hoping to get over a couple of hundred fans. As of right now we have a bout 150 people confirmed on coming to watch us play tommorow night. There is this thing on facebook that our team made to send out flyers to people to invite them to our games. We have a special guy that is going to be doing our music, so everyone gets to pick their own song to play when you score a goal. Mine is Dairy of Jane by Breaking Benjamin. On saturday night we have our second home game against Plattsburgh and they are a really good team. I can not wait to play infront of my friends and family this weekend. The games should be fun to watch and hopefully we win both games. I'm going to make sure I eat a good pregame meal and the a good meal after the friday night game. If we win both games partying on saturday night would be a lot more fun then if we lost. We are going to celebrate Halloween that night because we could not go out during the week because of 48 hour rule. I think I'm going to be the sasqatch from those commericals. If your reading this maybe you should come to PER at 7p.m. friday and saturday night to cheer us on.

Dec 21, 2012

December 21, 2012 is when the world is going to end. Well according to Nostradamos theory that is what is going to happen. It was during this past week that I put on the history channel and the historians were talking a bout this theory. It was really interesting listening to what they were talking a bout and how some of Nostradamos past predictions came true. I really think the world is going to end within the next 5 years. I had a huge discussion with my friend a bout this and she is very religious. I kept on asking questions a bout everything you could think of. Like who put us here and why? Is there an after life or do you rot in the ground? What came first the chicken or the egg? She told me something very interesting that her mother told her. Her mom is basically like a nun but not, she is just very religious. She said that we are suppose to have an evil pope and he is suppose to ruin everything. She also told my friend that the past 20 years Catholics have been building underground hide outs for all the Catholics because the evil pope is suppose to kill off all the Christians. I don't know if I believe all of this but if the world ends in 2012 I'm going to very prepared for the end. No matter what the outcome is I will be ready.
