During my high school days before I joined the SMJHL as a free agent, I would spend my days and nights being attracted to 2 sports: baseball and hockey. I played baseball my whole life starting at age 4, and didn't start playing hockey until age 8, surprisingly. During school I would constantly find myself looking at mlb.com or nhl.com, watching highlights from games I missed the night before. Not only that but I would fade off into a daydream thinking about how my baseball or hockey game would go that night. Despite that, I somehow managed a pretty good GPA that got me into an accredited university where I could continue playing both baseball and hockey. My roommates and I would constantly talk sports, day and night, which only enriched my knowledge of hockey that allowed me to perform better and better as I learned more. Not only that, but having people to play deck hockey with in the spring and summer when ice time was hard to come by, allowed for me to work on my game all year long.
