Hey everyone! I’ve been getting a lot of questions from you guys lately so I thought it’d be fun to answer the first few in a mailbag. Keep on sending your comments in!
I read you’re from Saskatchewan in Canada, are you French? It’s cold in Canada right? You rock, I train my slap shot every day against my garage door. I wanna be a Bruin someday! – Gerald
It is cold in Canada. Saskatoon (where I am from) isn’t nearly as cold as places further north. For instance, the climate in a place like Wakaw, Saskatchewan is much colder. Though I am not French, I really wish I spoke the language. Keep working hard!
Did you use farming as a key tool in your workout plan? Like lifting hay bails and focusing when you’re driving the combine? – Jim
Farming has been a big part of my life. Manual labor such as lifting hay bails or pulling a truck out of the mud definitely serves as good training for hockey. Thanks for the message. Hopefully see you at a Bruins game!
Greetings Byron, big Bruins fan here. What do you think about Jordan Knackstedt? He seems to be putting up some points. Any thoughts on his chance of making the team? Thanks so much, great job on the blog! – Steve
Jordan is a hard working kid. He came up with us at the end of last year and played very well. He’s working very hard to earn a spot on the team.
Do you feel your summer hockey training and conditioning with the Saskatoon Pirates helped you prepare to play the highest level of hockey? – Anonymous
Playing with the famous Pirates organization for the last three summers has been a huge part of my success. Many current players are in the NHL or pursuing other noble careers. Basically, I just feel a lot of pride knowing that I have put the Pirates jersey on and have had the privilege of being on this illustrious team!
Thanks for the questions. Talk to you all again soon! Come out for the home opener on Wednesday night at The Dunk!
