The Lightning are off to an early start on day 2 of the WCC. They are up in the first game against USK (Sweden) at 10 am local time here in Turku - thats 3am local time for you fans back in Richmond Hill!
So it was an early start for the Lanski-Franski duo as we hopped on the 8am bus with the Bolts this morning. Our group was the first to arrive at the rink this morning... most of the lights were still off and the press box wasn't unlocked yet.
The athletes and coaching staff have wasted no time. As they arrived the athletes made their way to the dressing room and then out for a run (it is still dark outside here!), then broke out into individual pre-game routines. The coaching staff wasted no time to review footage from yesterday's game and worked out the game plan for this game.
The work, preparation and thinking that goes into each one of these games became very evident this morning.
As fans of the game we don't always sees everything that goes into it. Everybody has a role to play and at this level every extra little bit counts.
I am looking forward to this next match-up!
The game hasjust started!
Go Bolts!
