From winning the regular season to having the strongest team bond in my 15 years of playing, what we had was special.
I never imagined losing it so quickly. I walked into the locker room with my friends to get some extra practice when we got the news that we had
72 hours to leave campus for the rest of the year.

- Clear out my locker and return all of my hockey gear.
- Cope with being forced to leave my best friends for an unknown amount of time.
I knew my team was something to cherish. I didn’t...
