Here we come World….Again

I just brushed a tear from my face as I sit out on the porch in this beautiful weather we have in Barrie.  Seriously I`m a sensitive man, ask my linemates.  Just our luck that as soon as the weather gets super nice, we have to leave to go far and off to another Country.  Fortunately its always for Sledge hockey so I can’t complain. I’ll have to put my farmers tan on hold untill I return.

We leave tomorrow  for The Czech Republic. Its that time of year again to prove to the rest of the Sledge Hockey World that Team Canada is still King.  Now with that being said, we all know we can’t rely on our past success to ride us to the gold medal game, its  going to be even harder to win this one than in the past years. Teams are more prepared, talented and hungry to knock us off.  I also know that our team has gone through the same changes as far as our skill level and fitness level as a whole.  We seem to look like a well oiled machine when it comes to being prepared.  Our passion for the game individually seems to make it easy. We are Canadians, so hockey is fun stuff.  As long as were playing our game, I believe we will come home “Happy Campers”.

Now for anyone who is looking forward to watching some high caliber Sledge Hockey, you can find live feeds the Paralympic Tv Website.   http://www.paralympic.tv

Anyways, its time for me to get off this computer and enjoy some warm weather before I start packing!

Ciao
