It's been a while since i've written anything ... been crazy busy working and saving for this next adventure . Unfortunately i don't have a money pit or a sponsor that pays for these trips . If you didn't know , this is all paid for by my own sweat, blood and tears ... well not so many tears :) It's been a tough couple weeks but i have had some great opportunities to work on some commercial shoots with some hockey players . A couple weeks ago i had the honour of working with Mark Messier !!! Yeah he was super cool and very friendly even signing stuff for kids after the shoot . A true legend only 1 player has scored more points then The Moose .... Wayne Gretzky . I was lucky to have had the opportunity to work on this project with him and i got a pic too !
This past week i had the opportunity to work with a future superstar that is tearing up the junior scene ... Connor McDavid , look him up if you don't know who he is . Obviously i can't really mention what the projects were that i worked on as i am not sure if they have been released or not . If you didn't realize that i work in the film industry then now you do . I am a production assistant (PA) , always trying to hustle to make more cash for the next trip ... it's not easy , long hours keeps me away from the rink :P well not too much as i seem to make my Ghetto games twice a week . All this to go play hockey overseas ? hell yeah !
So the next trip is coming together and i should start booking things in the next week or so ... this trip is gonna keep evolving until i book flights . At the moment it looks like i will fly to Skopje , Macedonia to start then head over to Greece to hopefully play some puck there before i fly up to Budapest to play in this tourney with the Rainman All-Stars :) after that things have changed into me going to England to watch some Aston Villa football and now it looks like Rainer and Timo will join me and we will rent a car to make a whole other adventure in driving around the UK playing hockey and probably losing each other ... remember the last time i was with Rainer in London ???? hahahaha .... betting opens soon and i am betting it happens again LOL !
oh i also ran into Bob McKenzie ... great guy ! Yeah i know what you are all thinking ... this job isn't so bad . You are right :) its not at all .
