I passed my expectations for what I expected at the start of my rookie season, but then disappointed myself with how I finished it. I had a very solid first campaign in the SHL, putting up 8 goals and 20 assists for 28 points with my +45 that put me in the top 15 in that category. 54 hits and 52 blocked shots are not bad, but the blocked shots were low compared to my SMJHL totals, but that's to be expected with the shift of pace in the SHL. I think what I was most proud of was only giving the puck up 9 times compared to my 24 takeaways. I was concerned prior to the season that I would be a big liability with the puck and I'm happy to see that wasn't the case. If I had seen this total at the start of the season I would've been very happy, but as the season progressed and I was producing offensively at a decent pace I set new goals and those fell short. I was on pace to go .5 PPG and that was holding true til around the 50 game mark and then I dipped off. I was hoping to finish with at least 30 points on the year but fell just short of that.

The Dragons won our division so that was exciting to be a part of and it was nice to be back in that locker room full time. I certainly haven't had the activity that I did my first time around here but I stuck to my goals of completing all PTs and checking in at least regularly in the locker room, so on the whole it was a very successful season for myself and the team.
