Last Thursday and Friday night we concluded our season with a two game series against New Mexico. Thursday nights game was a close one, we lead 2-1 for most of the game until we were scored on late in the third on the penalty kill which took the game to Overtime. 15 seconds into OT off a broken play, New Mexico scored to end the game 3-2. On the bright side, on Thursday nights game we clinched the 5th place in the Southern Division getting one point from the OT loss.
Friday night Corpus Christi set a NAHL attendance record of over 6200 fans at our Harley Davidson sponsored game. Unfortunately, we could not pull out a win for our fans on our last game of the season and fell 3-2 in regulation.
As the off-season begins I am taking a little break from the ice to let my body heal up from the season and focusing on lifting weights and some physical therapy for some minor injures. I am hoping to attend a few United States Hockey League (USHL) camps throughout the summer and then tryout for Corpus Christi at the end of the summer!
I had a great season and I'm really grateful for such an amazing opportunity to play in the NAHL this year. I want to thank my host family, Rob and Karen Collins for opening their house to me. Also thanks to my roommate Joe Smereck, and the rest of the team. It was a pleasure playing with all those guys this year and I learned a lot from them. Also best of luck to Saucerman, as he goes to play D1 at UMass next year, and also Kyle Hughes, Jason Souva, and Sam Cheraso who aged out at the end of this season. I'd also like to thank the Coaches for all their instruction this year and giving me the opportunity to play for them. Last but not least I would like to thank Ryan Holt for the media support!
Most of all though I'd like to thank Coach Cully for giving me a place to play after Ice Jets did not work out at the beginning of the season and his continued support.
