felt friday ice nervous
Of course, (I was nervous Friday morning). I didn't know anybody. But I got on the ice and felt good. The game's the same anywhere.
build chance confidence deliver few guess happy ice playing time totally tough

practice
As we play more and practice more together, we're getting to know each other more all the time. Every day we get better.
