LA Tour

Roger Eagles was given a few days off from training so that he can recover. Over the last few games he has been lit up like a Christmas tree and management decided to give him some much needed rest.

During his rest, Roger took full advantage and took a tour of LA to see some of the sights around the city.

 

His first stop was the Hollywood walk of fame which he has always wanted to see. He walked the sidewalks stopping at each star and trying to see if he knew who they were. He knew some and stopped to take pictures. He also noticed that there wasn't many athletes on the walk of fame. He recognized Muhammed Ali, Magic Johnson and a couple other names. It made him think about what it takes to get on the Hollywood walk of fame and if he would ever see his name on there. It was a pipe dream, Roger is struggling just to keep pace in the rookie of the year race and he was already dreaming on being on the Hollywood walk of fame. He shook his head, laughed and continued looking at all the other famous names listed on the sidewalk stars.

 

His next stop was the famous Hollywood sign. Ever since he was a little kid Roger always wanted to have a picture taken with the Hollywood sign in the back and now was his chance. Roger was able to secure permission to go up the backside trail and get right in front of the sign. He took a few selfies, looked down at the city and then continued on his way

 

 

His final stop of the day was to visit the warner brothers Studios. He was always interested in seeing how shows and movies were made. He took the full 2 hour tour and was able to see sets of some of the top shows. It was interesting to see how much different everything looked live. He was also given a motorized cart tour of the whole studios and even seeing some things that regular tourists usually do not get to see. He got to see many props from current and classical movies, meet some of the crew that work behind the scenes and even got to film a quick cameo in an upcoming movie.

"I think it was a great day just exploring and seeing the city I now call home. Taking a few days off just to refresh will do great things down the stretch "Roger said " I am glad the management team let me do this and now I can focus on the next games ahead. I can't describe why my level of play has declined over the last 2-3 games but it may just have been being over-tired with the quick amount of games we had over the last few weeks"

 

The team is expected over the next little while to rotate in LA's backup goalie to give Roger a lighter schedule before the end of season crunch which will see the young netminder start majority of the back to back games.
