“When I’m on the ice I’m home”
“When I’m on the ice I’m home” The ice is a second home. It’s a place of comfort where nothing else matters. You can escape life, the stresses of work, school, drama, etc. It’s a place where you can be yourself and not have to worry or think about anything else.
Define Love…
Love is defined in the dictionary as: an intense feeling of deep affection. It is put so simply, but yet “deep affection” doesn’t due it justice.

#12 Great Skaters are Made by Their Passion
“Great skaters are not made up of their technique, but be their passion” Once again, I have been listening to more podcasts, and this week I listened to an episode of the Solopreneurhour where they said, “You cant teach hustle.” Oh how true! Growing up skating I didn’t exactly have one of the best coaches […]
