Day 1 In Iceland :)

Today we had a bit of a sleep in, most of us woke up around 8am then down to the buffet breakfast in our hotel. We then packed for the rink and headed down, for a quick off ice warm up, then straight onto the ice for our last practice game which was against the national woman's ice hockey team. The rink was awesome , it was on the second floor of this massive complex containing a movie theatre and a huge indoor soccer field. It was such an amazing place and the rink was rather nice, with really hard ice. The changing rooms on the down side were a little tiny but that didn't effect us to much. We had a really good warm up, good vibes within the team. First period we came out a lot stronger then our previous 2 games in finland. We had a lot of good play and we were feeling a lot better about ourselves :) Poor old Zanzee had to play in random gear, which wasn't to comfy and easy, but she was very strong and in fact played a rather good game! End result of the game was 5-2, overall we played a really structured game, we did not have one penalty which was a huge step up for us. It was not the full iceland team we played, there are supposedly more players that did not play in the game. Very good vibes within the team about the game, it was a very good game to finish with before going into worlds. BRING IT ON! After the game we showered then headed back to the hotel, had some down time, then we had a team activity called battle ships, which was rather fun, everyone got into it and had a bit of a laugh. Then it was onto dinner down at the food hall and then off to bed, in our tiny lunchbox sized rooms!  Everything is allgood over here in the land of ice, Still no show of Zanzee's bag or the stick bag, so we are keeping hopeful, with all our fingers crossed! Will update you tomorrow!
