Quick update on my season: I have 4 regular season games left, then playoffs in early April. Less than a week following my season I head to Prague for a big international tournament. This tournament acts as training camp for the World Championships. Our team won the tournament last year so we’ll be defending our title. Then at the end of April my off-season finally begins and I’ll rejoin a real gym. Main goal until May is to win games and remain healthy.
Today was a game day. We had a 8-4 lead and blew it against the second place team. Good news though, this was the first game I’ve played in months without getting injured.
Finished with some dead bugs and bird-dogs. I’m starting to notice some sports hernia symptoms (an issue that plagued me 4 years ago) so I need to keep an eye on it.

Sprained my MCL the first shift of the game and had to watch from the bench. We ended up losing a very close game. All around a very negative day and now I only have 14 days to rehab my knee before a major tournament/training camp.
