As an SMJHL player, I was paired up with a big brother from the SHL. Like a few of my teammates, I too was paired up with a familiar face in the Scarecrows locker room: Nicholas Williams (@Nictox ). During the week, Williams treated us to ice cream every single day. He said that one of the most difficult decisions you'll ever have to make in your life is picking out what flavor of ice cream you want to eat, and he taught us how to make an informed and educated decision each and every time. He also mentioned that just because you didn't get the flavor of ice cream that you wanted today, there's always a chance tomorrow to get out there again and achieve your goals/try the other flavor of ice cream. One of the days when we were out for ice cream, Nicholas knocked the ice cream cones right out of our hands and told us that sometimes life comes at you hard and you may lose something you love, but you've just gotta move on and get yourself a new ice cream cone.
