The day finally came—the Stanley Cup Finals that we had been looking forward to for months. We had been practicing for days after the media tours ended, and it was one of the craziest moments of my career.
Due to the long break we had because of the issues with the Westbridge Falcons, we had to practice ten times harder than the usual practice, and it was crazy because during those days, no one went home.
It was either we were on the ice, exercising, or building our defensive team.
Tonight was the first game, and our opponent turned out to be the Southbridge Bears, one of the craziest hockey teams in the world. The day I heard they won the Northern Finals, I knew we would have a hard time taking them down.
But I had faith in the Avalanche, and they believed in themselves too, because the locker room felt alive as I entered to address them.
Everyone was laced up, geared up, and ready to fight for what we had worked so hard to reach.
