When does hockey start back up for you?[/quote]
Thanks bud! Actually, we have our first playoff game tonight at 10! We sucked the first part of the session, but I think have won 4 in a row and ended up with the #4 seed.

Whats the story on hockey with you?

Good work!

Just finished the Adult skills camp that ran once a week from April till now.

Played in the Fantasy game for the camp last Saturday, wrote a little about it in my training log. :slight_smile:

Had Warren Peters on my team, you might remember him from playing with the Stars.

Summer league is going ok. Started off slow, been getting some wins now.

Yea man, I gotta get over and check out the old geezer logs sometime! Lol. The brief time Warren was playing for the Stars I wasn’t watching them at that much. The next season is when I started becoming a religious fan!

We won our game so off the the semi-final Saturday.

Summer 2014 Stanley Keg Champions here!

Won 5-4. They made it 5-4 with half a minute left and got a couple of shots on afterwards that our goalie thankfully saved.

No goals for me but I did get an assist when my line mate deflected my shot in.

Honestly, I really think I’ve noticed a generous difference in my game endurance since supplementing beta alanine and citrulline malate. So for anyone interested in those supps, I believe they hold value in both intense cardio and weight training.

Congrats on your victory, my friend! That particular Lord Stanley’s got a fine mug, if I may say so myself.

Just out of curiosity, how are the ice conditions in Texas in the middle of the summer? I can remember things being pretty borderline even in September and April growing up in Canada, so I can’t imagine how the rinks are in the deep south.

Thanks buddy! Depends where you play, but my rink usually does a pretty good job. There is a little bit of a difference in the summer, but overall its kept pretty neat. I would assume there is probably top notch cooling units here in the south. Also, they have a NAHL team that plays there during season so they have to keep the main rink nice at least lol.

Congrats on winning the championship!

Congrats on the championship win :slight_smile:
