South Bend Tournament
"Be so good that they can't ignore you."
Well, here's our big travel tournament for the season. I know everyone has been looking forward to this weekend, and I'd just like to pass along a few reminders. Get your skates sharpened. You never know exactly what kind of ice you will encounter at these tournaments, so make sure your skates are sharp. Have a spare stick with you, as well as extra tape. Both jerseys must be brought with you. We are both home and away in the preliminary round, so both sets will be worn. Parents, make sure all travel documents are accounted for in order to cross the border. Oh, and bring swimming stuff, as there is an indoor pool at the hotel.
In case of wardrobe malfunctions, there is a Dick's Sporting Goods store located just south of I90, about 5 minutes away from our hotel. If you are Google Mapping, here is the address: Princess City Plaza, 4520 Grape Road, Mishawaka, IN 46545.
We have the luxury of plenty of time between games, and our second game, as well as the final, is on the campus of the University of Notre Dame. So, after homework is done, there are plenty of opportunities to occupy our time, whether it be as a team, or as smaller groups/families. We usually have a team lunch or dinner at these tournaments, so keep that in mind, and make suggestions if you find. More to follow.
To our players, good luck. This is a very unique opportunity to grow and bond as a team. Enjoy it.
