Player Prompt

Well now that I am entering my 15th season in the league, a lot has changed in my preparation and how I approach the off season, and preseason. When I was young, it was a lot of off season training, hitting the weights, trying to get bigger and stronger. Getting on the ice again as early as August and working on my skating ability. Pre season was a time to show my skills, and what I could bring to the team in order to make the roster and move up the line up. Now that I am in my 15th season, it is more about taking the off season easy, more rest and more work to keep the body in shape and not over working myself. That way when I come into camp my body is rested and not burnt out. My role during preseason is about leadership and teaching the younger players the correct way to play the game. A mentorship role is the best way to put it.
