To say it hasn't been an adjustment to having the seats constantly empty has been the understatement of the century. It's like being back in 6U hockey practices that take place on a Saturday at 5:30 AM all the time now. I think it's been quite the distractor from the normal routine and I think has attributed to my early season struggles so far. For whatever reason, I'm not as pumped up on making a huge play on the road and being energized by all the boo birds that are out there. Equally, when we score a huge goal at home now, it doesn't have the same feel when the goal horn plays and the music goes, but you don't hear any of the cheers from anyone that helps you build that momentum further. This pandemic has been hard on me, keeping me from my family and them from coming to my games, I'm not married and had a relationship that ended over the offseason due to just losing interest in each other being stuck with them all the time and realizing we don't have as much in common as we thought we did.

This whole thing sucks, and I hope we get back to normal soon.
