Blog: On the Ice with Randy Dagenais

The following blog, written by former Union standout Randy Dagenais, appeared August 27 on the Yorkshire Post Web site.

 

After sealing a memorable double success at the end of the 2008-09 Elite League season, defenceman Randy Dagenais is coming back for what he hopes will be further success with Sheffield Steelers.

Hello everyone,

Its been a little while since I last wrote, but I've been crazy busy with the move from Canada, settling in, getting back on the ice, my dissertation, doing some marketing for the club, and trying to help my girlfriend, who is desperately seeking work so she can stay in Sheffield this season (any help would be much appreciated).

So we've been back on the ice for a little over a week now and things are shaping up. We've been skating every day and training off-ice with Gerry, an ex-military man and team trainer. It's been great to get back with the boys, but it's been hard work too.

Matty is pushing us hard on the ice and Gerry's got us doing all kinds of things off the ice ranging from spinning to hauling lumber and jumping tyres.
