First weekend in the NAHL

My first weekend with the Corpus Christi Ice Rays went well! Even though both games ended up in a loss to the Amarillo Bulls, I was able to get my feet wet with the NAHL's style of play. Everything happens faster, decisions have to be made quickly, and mistakes have to be limited. I am enjoying everything and receiving a lot of great help from the team captain, other leaders on the team, and also from both coaches. I am hoping to get an opportunity this week in practice and next weekend against Wichita Falls to put into practice what I have and will learn. With hard work and a little bit of time I should be able to play with more confidence by being more physical and becoming an effective member on the team with the role of a defensive defensemen.
