I broke my neck playing hockey December 2nd, 2004 at 8:36 pm. I hadn’t been back on the ice for 16 years. This was a really emotional and healing day for me last winter! Same skates I was wearing the night of my injury - old school @BauerHockey Vapors

Trying to be more body positive. Because of my injury, I lost quite a bit of my core muscles. I developed scoliosis because of that and I was embarrassed by the curve in my back for a long time. That’s life tho 🤷🏼‍♂️

I won’t lie, I’m a little surprised about LG bidding. Multiple goalies with worse save% & winning% than me last season while playing on better teams than me, got bids. I’m excited to go to the AHL & hopefully land on a good team ☺️ Another opportunity to get better! 🔥

First impression of the NHL22 beta: Goalie feels really smooth. I stopped 30 of 34 shots in the 2 games I played. Animations feel slightly faster on shots coming in. Allows for a little bit better reaction time. Game looks good too. I like it so far 😊
