option 2

My player, Leonard Wood, is in the midst of the most important off season of his career. It's the off season before I turn professional and play for the Philadelphia Forge. I am filled with feelings of being anxious and excited to be a professional hockey player. As a result, I have been putting in extra work in the weight room. I have also been bulking up a bit so I can hold my own in the big league. I have been training with Marek Carda, who is from my draft class. Carda already has a season under his belt from going up to the SHL early. He's showing me the ropes and what to be aware of in the SHL, where the pace and physicality is much different than the junior league. Also, I have been making an effort to relax a bit so I'm not mentally and physically drained before I even begin the season. I've been out on the lake throwin' back beers and grillin' brats with friends & family at my parent's cottage in northern Wisconsin.
