They say playing House Hockey over the summer is good fun and about building friendships, I believe this to be true. I however take it just as serious as playing travel hockey. My team “The Saints” has a great Coach, his name is Dominic Luzi. Coach Dominic is a hockey player from Detroit, MI and a BIG Detroit Red Wings fan! Our team did not look real good when we first started but with his coaching, the players are understanding their positions and learning the game of hockey. This is Dominic’s first time coaching a team, I am so excited to be a part of that.
Recently, Coach polled all the players in the locker room and they voted me Assistant Captain. I was so excited driving home, I called my Grandparents and family back in Pennsylvania to share the news. It was one of the biggest highlights for me as a hockey player. I get to wear an “A” on my jersey … what an honor! Just like me, NHL player Pavel Datsyuk is a Center and the Assistant Captain for the Red WIngs. I hope my season is as good as his! I have been using a Reebok Sickick Red “Datsyuk” hockey stick for a few months now. The Saints Captains even wear our jersey letters on the side that the Red Wings wear their letters! Hopefully that luck will lead us to the Championship at the end of the season … like the Red Wings winning the Stanley Cup.
