Ankara, Turkey - I thought it was bad enough not being able to watch the Olympics, but waking up this morning to my coach informing me that Canada lost to USA last night (this morning here) was an even bigger slap in the face!
Oh well, I found a website that streams game online BUT my club, Baskent, hasn't hooked up our internet in our flat like they have promised for the past two months. However, they have managed to purchase a three bedroom apartment, furnish it with office equipment, and here's the kicker, hook up internet in their office. This all happend within a week. Nice.
So my plan is to get a key to their office so myself and whoever wants to join in, to go and watch the Olympic hockey games from 1am-5am (that's when they are broadcasted live here).
On a positive side I finished the regular season undefeated and earning my first professional shutout. My team finished tied for first place, but head-to-head we will finish second for playoff standings.
Brittany and Kate played first placed Milenyum on Saturday and pulled out a 1-1 draw! Kate only played a period after suffering a hip injury. Brittany played almost the full game and I heard she blocked the most shots in Turkish hockey history (according to me of course).
Playoffs start on Saturday with my team facing Kocaeli BB (who beat Ankara University 9-6 this weekend!!). Finals are on Sunday with both games taking place in Istanbul.
Brittany and Kate have the week off since their playoffs will not start until after this weekend.
