We are excited to announce a partnership with UBC Hockey School and The Farm Hockey Training. The Farm is in charge of all the strength & conditioning for participants at their annual hockey school. As a UBC hockey alum I am excited to get involved with the school and teach and educate the kids!
On Sunday Jon and I competed in the Subaru Half Ironman in preparation for the Ironman. It was an overcast day and a 6:30am start into the ocean at Jehrico Sailing Club for two loops of 1000m…let me tell you it wasn’t warm. After that is was 90km on our bikes in the form of 4 loops with a climb up UBC hill in each one followed by a half marathon (21km) down Spanish Banks. Jon had an amazing race at 4:42, knocking almost 30 min off his time from 2 years ago. Troy did 5:01 and would have broken 5 hours if he didn’t have trouble putting on his shirt. Try it: purchase a skin tight Under Armour shirt, step in the shower, step out and try and pull it on hahaha.

We played the Ontario Champion, Dundas last night and tied 4-4. We had a 3-1 lead heading into the third and needed to win by three goals to finish first in our pool. We pressed hard and Dundas capitalized on their chances to tie the game up. Tonight we face the defending Allan Cup Champion Bentley Generals, who are coached by former NHL player Brian Sutter and have the brother of LA King’s player Ryan Smyth. Winner advances to the semi final, loser goes home. Yesterday the tournament featured the Stanley Cup and Conn Smythe trophies on display.
Last night we played the Prairie Champion, the South East Prairie Thunder, and lost 4-2. The game was 1-1 heading into the third period when the Thunder got two quick goals to take the momentum. We came out flying in the first period and were all over them 5 on 5, but took 10 minutes of minor penalties that took some steam out of our game. Today is a day off with only a practice and tomorrow we play the Ontario champion–Dundas. Follow along here for live game updates.
