Flew to Boston for the excellent GCG Women’s U16/U18 Training Week. It was great to get coaching from a variety of college coaches and to face some D3 boy shooters. Rachel Llanes's conditioning training is always intense but good.

We drove from Boston to beautiful green Burlington Vermont for the NAHA College Showcase. It was great to have three of my Jr Sharks teammates on my team. The first night we won the 3 on 3 tournament with a goal in the last 30 seconds against team NAHA. After that I played five half games ending up with a 1.0 GAA. The last game we tied the NAHA team with a late goal.

Thursday and we are back on the road to Boston to make a 4:00 pm Beantown 16AAA game with the Boston Bobcats. What a great experience. Half the team were Canadians and half US players, including two of my Jr Shark teammates. We were quick to bond and fought hard. We lost a close first game but won the next six by one goal margins to winning the Gray division championship. I ended up with a 1.00 GAA. I also got a chance to visit the awesome Bauer store, which has a small rink in the store! Got some new skates.

After an excellent Beantown experience I stopped by a few colleges on way to a brief family vacation in NYC.
