Team Ontario update

We have now been living in residence at the University of Toronto for a week training daily at Varsity Arena. It's a pretty interesting setup where we have 3 volleyball courts covered in sport court where the ice hockey rink usually is (I'll include pictures when I'm not updating from my blackberry!). The boys seem to be coming together quickly on the court as they've been working quite hard. Some highlights would include a 27 lap run around the track, strength and conditioning with Mike Sleen and a split squad scrimmage between the team. Off the court we had 2 days away from the volleyball court on Wednesday and Thursday. Aside from some plyos and classroom sessions the team headed to Ash Bridges Bay to play a little beach volleyball. I would like to say that I won the tourni but with a 1 and 4 record I doubt that that would be very accurate!
After that, we showered up and got ready for our next team bonding event- a trip to Medievil Times! Our team got to cheer for the Green Knight (the evil one!) Who ended up being a highly skilled knight. I won't ruin the show for anyone that's still planning on going. Anyways we all wore our green crowns on the bus and subway back to residence. Probably woulda looked stupid if it was just one or two of us- but with all of us- just show that there's strength in numbers when we act together as a team... That was todays lesson! For the boys reading the blog... Keep up the good work!
