Off-season is winding down and we are gearing up for another hockey season. There’s been a lot of work put into development this season. At this stage in my career, I take a couple steps back, and one step forward in the off-season. It’s all about trying to build up that ability that has been lost over the off-season. It’s manageable now, but the signs of getting old are evident. Pre-season has gone well for the team, and we’re in high spirits. This could be a bounce back season for the Los Angels Panthers. I don’t think now is really the time to take a break and rest, it’s all about keeping the gas pedal down and going strong. I feel like if you take a break at this point in the off-season you might be setting yourself up to get a little rusty. At this point in my career, I do not want to start any season off rusty and underperforming. It’s all about starting strong out the gate.
