A picture is worth 1000 words..

The picture that i chose to use is one from this hockey season. This picture makes me think about how close of a team we have. In the dressing room we have a team full of good guys and willing to battle hard every time there on the ice. The picture always shows how the team has came together from not knowing anyone to now having a family type environment. From riding on the bus for hours, long practices, bumps and bruises our team has stayed together and battled for each other. Hockey is more then just a sport, you will meet people you will know for a life time. Not to mention all the stories from the road trips, hotel over night trips, and the dressing room. This season we have all put in countless hours to help make the team succeed and it has worked every well. We have 37 wins, 2 loses, 2 ties, and 4 overtime loses. We have been rated first in British Columbia all season long and top of our league. This is very impressive feat considering we our a expansion team. It's been great and I have learned so much from the team and coaches.
