I had never been here before and yesterday I spent some time outside while it was so sunny and it's pretty gorgeous here with all the mountains. The hotel is great too and I really like the village, I went down there and just wal

I've never been to Alberta so this is my first trip here and so far, it's not bad. It seems like a pretty good town, although I haven't really seen much of it other than the rink and the hotel. The

I think the games will be a good test for us. It's good to be back on the ice practicing but y

Today's focus at camp was mostly on systems, getting to know each other and get working as a unit. The coaches were mostly talking about communication because you're playing with guys you're not really

Trust me, I'd love to roll out some fascinating tale about the day I spent hanging with the Red Sox and how a freak stinger into the dugout led to me pinch hitting for Tim Wakefield in front of 36,0

Everyday has just been packed with one thing after another and before I even had time to realize, we were up at Grouse Mountain and it's the last day. At the beginning of the week, all I knew was that I was d

We got on the ice with pucks for the first time this morning. I felt alright, but it's the first time I've seen the puck in a while so the timing's a li

It's an exhausting day and it makes me think about how glad I am that I finished my class just before I came out here. I'm still trying to finish up my degree and I just did my la

This whole thing is still very new to me. I did notice an interesting question though, someone asked if Cory was short for something and funny, because I've even asked my parents and it's not short for anything at

I'm going to try to continue this throughout the week and hopefully through training camp in before the season (we'll see how I do). I haven't really even read many blog
