So I don't have any pictures for this update, although I might try and take some over the next couple of days. This week however has been all about training camp. We are currently in the middle of doing a week of two a day workouts before our first exhibition game this weekend against Rouan.
As for the two a days, the first workout is at 11:30 and typically is done by 1:00. It's an off-ice workout where we lift weights, run sprints, do some light jogging, lots of core strength, and if the coach is feeling generous and we have worked hard, a little soccer at the end. Since the weather has been beautiful this week, we have been working outdoors which has been pleasant.
The second workout is on the ice where we practice from 8:15 to 9:45. In case I haven't mentioned it, our coach is Russian and subscribes to the theory that lots of skating should be done in practice. And do we ever skate. The team looks like it will be hard working bunch, maybe a little bit short on talent, but hardworking. Everyone wants to compete and do well, which is what you want.
Anyway, it's almost time to head to the rink. Time for another workout!

Hi D
Got your message. How are you finding the twice a day thing? How long will that be going for? Can you put the team website on your blog? Love mom :) :)
PS - Dad's team won the first game of the Canadian Senior Games against Nova Scotia (6-3). Dad is playing with Steve Carlyle. They play Ontario this morning and PEI this evening. Sounds like he's having fun as well.
