Life On the Road

For those of you who don't know, i play junior hockey for the Illinois Frontenacs. From August till the end of March my social life is at a minimum. Almost every weekend were out of town on the road.
Our average trip consist of getting on the bus around 1 a.m., then anywhere from a six to fourteen hour drive till we arrive at our destination, and there is never a dull moment between 25 college guys and our four coaches who think they are still in college. We go strait to the rink were playing at and carry on with our whole routine of warming up and what not. Then we play our game shower and head to the hotel. once we get to the hotel its having fun and running around like little kids till about midnight.
Usually our game the next morning is around three so we get up eat breakfast, then do some type of activity as. a team. We have done everything from golfing to shopping to just hanging out in the pool. Around twelve or so we head to the rink to begin our "routine" again.
Sunday morning's games are always early so the away team can get home at a semi-decent hour. so after we get up super early we head to the rink for, you guessed it, our "routine". After the game we grab food and head back home. We arrive home anywhere from eight at night on Sunday to three in the morning on Monday.
That's a little insight into the average weekend of a junior hockey player. Hopefully you learned a little bit about the life of a junior hockey player and can see why I am usually a little sluggish come Tuesday morning for class

I would like to thank everyone for joining my blog. It makes me feel warm inside knowing that your reading this. Actually its kinda creepy but its all good. My name is Mason Webb, some people call me Mace,but ill pretty much respond to everything. Im from a small town about 40 minutes from here called Columbia. I play junior hockey for the Illinoins Frontenacs and sit next to one of my lifelong teammate, my current teammate, and my english 102 classmate, Jimmy "The Beast from the East" Wilderman. My life is pretty much consumed with hocley but in my free time I like to climb rocks and hide in Jimmy's room.
