K, so this is really weird writing this but it's something I really want. I've decided at this point I'm REALLY going to narrow my collecting down to a couple players. Being Mike Green, Jack Johnson, Nick Markakis and the occasional Osterman & Finch.... I'm really going to lay everything else off for now.
The reason? As I stated in another thread I've been playing pickup street hockey with adults as of late and can keep up with them, and do everything they can. They've played in real games/leagues before, I haven't and I'm just as good as they are. I really think I have something special and I want to see just how far I can get. People can say what they want, go ahead and tell me I can't do it because I'm 17 and have never touched a puck on ice before. I don't care. I can skate on ice and I can do everything else just as good as anyone could in the street hockey world..... I just have yet to put the 2 together. I believe in myself that I can do it and thats all that matters. My plan as of now is to finish up with my home schooling, get a job so I can get enough saved up to be able to pay for everything myself. Keep going on Sunday's to play, and start going skating again at least once a week over the summer. If all goes well I plan to sign up for a league in the fall, and if I do well to sign up for Craig Laughlin's Network Hockey Program at some point next year. If I make it in to this program and do well there's a pretty damn good chance I'll get into a college with a hockey scholarship.
