My plan was to play Junior 'A' level hockey this year and try and get noticed enough to earn a hockey scholarship (Minnesota Golden Gophers would have been great). One Junior A club out of province in particular seemed quite interested in me and I felt like I had a guaranteed spot on that team. I even worked all summer to gain weight and get in prime shape to last the long hockey season. I also worked harder in school than perhaps any time in my entire life and earned an academic scholarship. I felt that getting a hockey scholarship in one or two years was a legitimate possibility.
Perhaps I was a bit over-confident because nothing panned out hockey-wise (~unfair), so now I'm still at home working at an auto parts/mechanics shop despite not knowing anything about auto parts or mechanics. Sometimes I wish I would have had a back-up plan but fuck it, I'm still young. I can go to school next year.
