The All-Star break is finally upon us. The players usually use this time to relax and spend time with friends and family, but this year I've been asked to take part in the most accurate shooter competition. Having never done this before, I decided to accept. I've heard great things about all-star weekend so I figured I would get the experience first hand.

Leading up to the event, during practice with Edmonton, I had our equipment guys set up the targets on the nets after practice and I would work on hitting the targets. 30 minutes after every practice had me ready when the real event started. Finally, the day came and the field was set. It was me going up against Noah Konn (WIN), DeMaricus Smyth (NOR), Philipp Winter (LAP), and Mikhail Lokitonov (TOR). Luckily for me, I was scheduled to go last and got to see what numbers I needed to win. The other 4 shooters went, which resulted in Noah Konn holding the lead with 4 targets hit in 5 shots. There was a ton of pressure on me now, having to go a perfect 4/4 in order to win. I set up shop in front of the net and just focused on those targets. I got the pass, one by one, and nailed each target, one shot each. Your boy went 4/4 and won the most accurate shooter competition.

Not a bad way to spend all-star weekend.
