But it feels good to get back in the gym and start preparing for next year. Everyone seems energized again and ready to go.

But with only off-ice workouts 3 times a week there is a lot of room for some spring fun! This past week I was invited to help out with the USA Hockey Central District Player Development Camp. I used to do this camp when I was in high school, but in the Rocky Mountain District. Anyway, it’s a camp for players to go tryout for in order to get selected to go to the National camp! Very exciting! This is how most female players get noticed for colleges and even for the U18 National team/Olympics. I was just asked to help mentor the goalies a bit and then manage the bench and goalie rotations for the games. Two other girls from my team went too. We met other girls from the teams in our conference and we all had so much fun together! It was a great experience!

Now we look forward to Easter break! We have Friday and Monday off of school so that means two four day weeks. And what’s more is that we have two advisement weeks after that, more four day weeks! Hahaha some people say we have a very easy academic schedule here at St Norbert, but I say we have to work really hard to excel here so we deserve a couple extra breaks : ) So anyway, we are all excited to have four days to do nothing but hang out and make some memories!

Classes are going well as usual, good grades and all that stuff! We only have a few weeks left! The snow appears to be melting and spring weather is on its way!

Next week I’ll let you know all the craziness that happens this weekend in my next blog!

Have a great week y’all!

I always wanted to go small but had no idea where I wanted to go. Talking about colleges however was not one of my favorite things to do. I had always said I wanted to play basketball but at that time I really was not being recruited. I had just gone to a showcase and had not heard any sort of interest from anyone. I had finished up summer league and would not have a chance to play in front of colleges until the season, which was four months away. As summer drew to an end I was slowly starting to accept the fact that maybe I was not going to have that opportunity.
My Family left on a week-long cruise and it was on the plane ride down that my Dad said to me, “Let’s start looking at schools, maybe basketball will come up later.” His first suggestion was St. Norbert. At this point I thought my senior season was going to be my last. It stung but by the end of the vacation it was off my mind. The day we got home I went up to my room to go to bed and my dad called me down to listen to the voicemail. There were three messages from three different schools, the last being coach Grzesk. It was a month later I visited and realized how great this place was. I visited on August 30th and on the way home I told my parents I wanted to commit. They made me look at several other schools but SNC was incomparable. I’ve been here for two and a half months and still think it’s the best decision I’ve ever made.
