Hi fans,

I have been back in D.C. for about 10 days now and am ready for the season. I trained really hard in the off-season and am ready for a great year. We have big goals as a team this year, but everyone believes we can achieve them and is ready to start playing again.

I love being back home in Calgary, but coming back to D.C. reminds me how neat this city is. There is always something going on it has been a crazy 10 days so far. As you know, MTV was at the condo to shoot my crib. I have also been to a Nats game and did an appearance at PNC Bank downtown. Of course I went to The Source for a good meal as well. That is one of my favorite spots and you have to check it out for sure. The team had media day last week, which was a long and fun day. We signed a ton of jerseys and sticks, filled out some questionnaires, answered a lot of questions from the media and posed for different Comcast video shoots. I was back at Kettler last night for the team’s game-opening video shoot. I was there with Ovi, Backie and Sasha for about two hours. I hope it comes out well and they make us look good!

Our schedule has been just as busy on the ice. We had physicals earlier this week and then started camp. The speed has been really good and it has been competitive. All the boys are really getting after it. You should come out and watch us this week. There was a scrimmage yesterday, one today and one tomorrow as well. Special props to anyone that brings a GreenLife52 sign. We play at Buffalo on Thursday, but I’m not sure if I’m going on that trip or not. We find out later this week who’s playing in that game.

That’s it for now. I have to go get ready for SneakerBall tonight. A bunch of guys are going and I have a special pair of kicks to wear.

One last thing, don’t forget to follow me on Twitter, @GreenLife52. I’m still getting used to the whole Tweet thing, but I’m liking it so far.
