The Dawn of a New Season

[dstevensonjr 441]

The hours upon hours of training camp work is complete. From the on ice drills that were run ad nauseum to the dry land training that the team must go through, I don't think that any of the players are going to be sad to see training camp come to a close and the real stuff ready to begin.

 

It was an off-season of change for the Toronto Legion, one that will see the team begin the season with a new starting goalie in net for the first time in almost a decade, along with two rookies set to make their VHL debut and a new forward added to the offensive group. Following the loss in the Continental Cup Final last season, the Legion players and management were aware that changes were coming. In a cap world, it's impossible to keep the same team together year over year, and now the task of getting back to the Final again this season begins in earnest. The Legion returnees hope to see the season end around the same time as it did last season, but with a much happier conclusion. The rookies and new additions hope to be the ones who can push that boulder up over the mountain top to help the team win it all. 

 

One thing is for sure, the eve of a new regular season is always one of the best times of the year.
