The final buzzer sounds
and fans cheer as the Pats salute the assembled after a victory. The players head off the ice and to their
dressing room to shed their gear and head home for some much deserved rest. After a weekend that saw the Pats win 5-1 and
6-2 over divisional rivals Moose Jaw and Saskatoon, the players have four days
before suiting up for a Friday game against Medicine Hat. After a break for Christmas, this week won’t
be one to relax. On-ice practices,
off-ice workouts and mental preparation are the routine leading up to a three
game in three night stretch for the Pats.
This week, like any
other, won’t be centred only on hockey.
The players will be out and about within Regina, helping various
community organizations because while developing hockey players is large part
of what the organization does… more important is the development of young
adults who will contribute to their community for years to come and long after
they hang up their skates.
