Sundsvall

Efter ännu en dag fylld av resandes så har vi anlänt till Sundsvall. Har varit och packat upp utrustningen på hallen och nu har vi loggat in på hotell rummet. Ska snart iväg ner till "stan" och käka middag. Vi började denna dag med att gå upp halv 8 för frukost. Kl.9 var vi på is för att köra en timmes träning innan vi hoppade på bussen.

Imorn är det match mot Sundsvall som gäller!

Road-trip

Sitter just nu på bussen på väg från Borås mot Leksand. En lång bussresa att se fram emot.

Packade min resväska igår kväll och fick hjälp av Camilla . Det var mycket att packa eftersom ja behövde packa inför lägret som börjar på måndag och eventuellt ett JVM. Så jag har packning för en månad framåt med mig på bussen. Men en sak i taget och det börjar med Leksand i kväll. Ska se till att det blir en rolig kväll!

WW

Kom precis hem från träning med Borås. Efter två dagar vila från förkylning så var jag äntligen tillbaka idag och det kändes skit kul. Skönt att va på is igen! Körde fys innan också för att väcka framförallt benen, men även resten av kroppen.
träning imorn igen sen blir de lång bussresa till Leksand på fredag för att sedan åka vidare uppåt mot Sundsvall.

Ska fullfölja denna vecka på bästa möjliga sätt så att jag går in i nästa vecka med riktigt bra vanor till lägret.

Idag är de hemma match i Borås mot Leksand.
Kommer precis ur en kraftig förkylning så kommer tyvärr inte att spela ikväll. Ser istället till att bli 100% frisk tills träningen imorgon för att sedan spela två viktiga borta matcher i helgen innan lägret som börjar på måndag.
Men ja tippar på att Borås gör en bra match och vinner med 4-2.
Även Frölunda spelar idag borta mot Ssk. Känns som att Frölunda har vänt på steken nu och är på gång. Jag tippar en behaglig vinst till Indianerna med 4-1.

Jag blir hemma idag och tar hand om mig och min kropp, ser till att få i mig mycket vätska och käka rätt så jag är pigg och fräsch till träningen imorgon. Jag ska gå ut på en promenad med hunden och tänkte ta med klubba och träkula för att sköna till handlederna lite, det är aldrig fel.

Jag är tillbaka!

Det var nu ett bra tag sen jag var inne här sist..

Efter ja fick min hjärnblödning så var det så mycket annat att ta hand om.

Det fanns aldrig någon tid till att blogga, då jag hade fullt upp med att kämpa mig tillbaka som individ och till sporten som jag älskar.

Det har gått nästan 2 år sedan senaste inlägget.

men nu känner jag att livet och hockeyn flyter på och det är roligare än nånsin! Plus att jag känner mig bättre än aldrig förr! Så jag tänkte ge denna blogg ett nytt försök och fokusera skrivandet på min hockey framförallt och berätta hur det går, hur jag tränar etc, och även livet i Gbg.

I somras så flyttade jag till Gbg för att börja en ny säsong med mitt nya lag, Frölunda. Jag kom bra in i gänget och stortrivdes redan från dag 1.

I dags läget bor jag med världens bästa flickvän 10 minuter med spårvagn från avenyn. Hon flyttade ner ungefär 1 månad efter mig.

Jag spelar för tillfället i Borås, för att kunna få mer speltid och kunna njuta av varje sekund man är på isen och göra det man älskar mest.

Började säsongen i Frölunda men fick inte alls tillräckligt med istid. Så vi kom överens om att jag skulle spela med Borås för att kunna få så mycket istid som möjligt och få utrymme till att vara kreativ och irrationell. Att helt enkelt få vara mig själv på isen, att våga göra fel för att sedan utvecklas till att bli ännu mer kreativ.

Är Uttagen till Team Sweden u20 lägret som är det sista lägret innan JVM. Det är samling om en vecka idag och det ska bli så j*vla KUL! Känner mig helt klart redo för det och jag åker dit med ett jävla GO, ett leende på läpparna och inställningen att jag SKA TA min plats i den slutgiltiga truppen! Whatever it takes.

Hi everyone! we did win game 5 and therefor moved on to the next round!
The next round will start this week, looking forward to it!
game 5 was a real nailbiter, it went to overtime and we didnt score till the end of the third overtime period! It was like playing two games at once.


William Wallén #18

We are in the 1st round of playoffs right now and we are up 3-0 in games, the next game is on thursday!

William Wallen #18

Today I first went to Mind and muscle to do my work out, and then I went to the rink to go on the ice. I can skate at full speed now! It felt so good and I am feeling that I´m not far away from playing now!!

William Wallén #16

I´m writing from Stonebridge, Mississauga. Feels so good to be back! It was tough this morning to leave my family especially my brother. The trip to here went great and I just got from dinner with Dave, Barb, Jordan and my dad who is here for three days.

I´m going to sleep now It´s been a long day, but tomorrow I will practice with the guys and I´m looking forward to it!!

William Wallén #16

I´m all packed and ready to leave for Mississauga! Tomorrow morning we´re heading off and it´s a long trip but it´s worth it.

William Wallén #16

Yepp, today we decided that I will return to Mississauga the December second! It feels great and I can´t wait. Soon wheels is back!

William Wallén #16

December the second I will return to Canada, Mississauga if everything goes well!! I am so happy and I can´t wait.
That´s all I had to say except that my work-out and skating is getting better and better each day

William Wallén #16

I haven´t been here to write anuthing for a while but I´ve just been up to so many things!
First of all I watched the Swedish u20 team win the tournament in uppsala last weekend. I was there first of all to see my friend jacob play. And he played really well and I know he´s going to make the team!

Then I´ve been having my work-out every day and feeling much stronger allready. I have also been to the swimpool everyday to get my body going.

I was on the ice for the first time yesterday! It was so great!! Finally =) But I´m not sure that I can live up to the nickname wheels yet, but soon I will!

I miss the team!!

William Wallén # 16

Yesterday I went to visit my old school. It was great to meet Kullpa again and everyone else.
It was a little weird though to be back in my old school!

Before that I had my workout at Hovet. After school I went in to the city for a while with Patrick.

Today I´m going to a swim pool for my new workout with jetstream. And then I´m going to meet my grandparents and my aunt for lunch, and then I´m going to workout again with patrick!

William Wallén # 16

Today I first had my practice, and then I went to see Dif-Frölunda. After that me, Patrick, Calle and Jalle waited for Jacob to get ready to go home to Johan for our poker-night. It didn´t end up well as I got out second first!! Well o well.

Anyways, I had a great day today, and i´m thankful for being alive and get to spend time with all of my friends. :)

William Wallén # 16

Finally!! Today I got to start practice again. But only off-ice and it had to go slow. But still =)! So today I first went to practice and then I had dinner with my mom and then I went to a movie with Jirpa, Sillen, Jacob, Calle och Arvid.
We saw James Bond, I didn´t like it at all.

Tomorrow I´m going to practice again! I miss my team back home, and my room-mate Jordan!
Can´t wait to go back to Mississauga!

William Wallén #16

yesterday I went with my mom in to the city and bought me a new hat and scarf. That´s pretty much it what I did yesterday! I was going to see Dif - Brynas j20 but my dad was to tired to go so we stayed at home.

Today I´m going to Karolinska in a few hours to meet my doctor and see what "homework" I´ll get.

And tonight I might go out with Calle and Patrick for dinner, we´ll see!
Tomorrow I´m going to the new bond movie with the boys!

William Wallén #16

Today I met my friends and it was great! We watched Dif vs Aik and then we went to a cinema in the city. I had such a great time meeting my friends again.

tomorrow I´m going to Karolinska to do something and then I have no idea. Probably doing something with my boys!

William Wallén #16

hey! it´s been a while since I wrote anything here because of private problems. But I´m back now and actually I´m back in sweden. I´m going to be here for a few weeks and then I´m going back to Canada.

tomorrow I´m going to watch Djurgardens J18 play against Aik!

William Wallén #16

It´s been a while since I wrote something here. I´ve just had a tough week with alot of school and practices.

Last night me and Dave went to the airport to pick up my mom=) Haven´t seen her since late august so it was really fun for both me and my mom. Today I´ve been in school and then I practiced. Right now I´m home with Jordan and my mom, me and jordan will soon head of to take care of a couple of things.

Tomorrow will probably be the funniest day so far here in Canada. It´s our home opener against Niagra Icedogs! Exciting! I had good practices this week and I feel comfortable about tomorrow, and also my foot is good now so I can skate my best again!

My mom brought a camera so hopefully I´ll get some pictures that I can add to my blog.

Now I´m just preparing for the game tomorrow, eat and drink good, make sure I get enough rest and sleep and to be happy. That makes everything easier for tommorows game.

William Wallén #16

Just got back from Kingston! It is 2 o´klock in the morning here and I´m going to bed right away. We won 6-4 . Our team is playing better and better now and we are strong this year.

I twisted my ankle at the warm up yesterday when we played against Peterbrough. So I Haven´t been able to skate that good these two games witch upsets me abit because when I´m not able too skate my best it gets so much harder to play my game. But it´s getting better and hopefully I won´t even feel it in a couple of days.

Going to bed now!

William Wallén

Just got back home from Peterbrough. We won 7-4. It was a game where we opened it pretty good but from that went to a disaster in the end of first period. We were down 3-1 when the second period begun. We got an early powerplay were I could score my first real OHL goal.
Then we played better and better but a few mistakes here and there. Anyway, we ended up winning 7-4.

We´re playing Kingston tomorrow in Kingston so me and Jordan are having dinner now and then we´re going to bed.

I´ll be back tomorrow with the result.

William Wallén

School and practice school and practice. Thats´s how my weekend has looked like so far. But tomorrow we have our second game and it´s against Peterbrough at their arena. All players are back from NHL camp so now we have a stronger team then what we had last game.

" It´s not about being the fastest skater. It´s about being first to the puck"

William Wallén

We lost our first game against Barrie Colts 3-1. But I´m not worried! We have a good team and we will fight for the first place and that´s for sure!!! Our next game is on thursday against Peterbrough in their arena. So we will practice hard this week and make sure we´re as ready as posible on game-day.

Yesterday it was the Majors day, so we sat outside Hershey centre, signing autographes for all the Majors fans and had also a bbq.

Today I´ve been doing homework and that´s about it. I´ve just been in the house all day and relaxed. Tomorrow is school.... And practice;)

William Wallén

Today I´ve been to school, Then we had practice and then I went home. Me and J-man had dinner twice and we also went to wallmart with on our bikes.

Tomorrow is a big day! The opening game for this season against Barrie Colts. It´s in Barrie and the croud will be packed! Everything feels great and we are ready to start our season. We have seven guys who´s away at NHL rookie camp. They will not play tomorrow but that´s not a problem for us because we have enough good players anyway.

Two days ago I got my one95 sticks and I love them! It´s something with the flex in the stick that makes it feel right. I also ordered new skates today, I decided to go with the one95s. I got the one95s back in Sweden to but I never wore them because they were to stiff. So now they´re going to make them less stiff wich I´m glad for.

I´m going to bed now and prepare for MY game tomorrow!

oh, if you want to see our fighter on youtube search for Kyle Neuber! He´s huge, and watch his uppercut! SICK!!!

William Wallén

Today we had our last exhibition game. It was against Owen sound attack and we won 3-1.
We have played seven exhibition games and we have only lost one. The season starts at thursday so it feels good!

It was a 3 hour bustrip to Owen sound today so that´s everything I´ve done today. Played a game and sat on a bus. Me and Jordan just got out of the hot tub and I´m going to bed now.. It´s been a fun but tough week! And tomorrow we´re back to school again...

William Wallén

So we have played against K rangers two days in a row no, yesterday they beat us with 3-1, the last one was an empty net. Today it got 4-4... Yesterdays game was in Kitchener and it was 3500 in the croud. Today it was in iceland in Mississauga in a small arena so it wasn´t that much croud today.

Tomorrow we´re playing agaisnt Owen sound attack again, it´s the last game before the season starts. Our first game is on Thursday against Barrie colts I think but i´m not sure.

I´m to tired to write more today. We´re having dinner now and then i´m going to bed! I´m back tomorrow.

William Wallén

I had my first day at high school today. Not so different compare to the swedish "high school". It was allright! Everything went well and I have 3 classes. Two english classes and one co-op class. At co-op class we help the kids that has a handicap and I think that class is great because some of them really look up to us hockeplayers and they are really fun to work with. We played volleyball with them today.

This afternoon we had practice as usual. My head and body feels good and are prepared for the game against kitchener rangers tomorrow. Finally it´s a game again;)! Actually we have three games in a row this weekend. Friday, saturday and sunday. Tomorrow we´re playing against kitchener away, saturday we´re playing kitchener at home and then sunday we´re playing against owen sound attack away. It will be a fun weekend!

William Wallén

not much has happened the last two days.. We been practicing as usual and everything is good. I´m in my bed and watching Chuck and Larry right now and it´s so funny, I love this movie. I am so tired though. I will probably fall asleep very soon. Oh, and one thing more! I start school tomorrow, not so excited. Well we´ll see tomorrow how that goes.

I got myself a cellphone to if I haven´t said that yet.

On friday we´re playing against Rangers way. It will be fun for sure!
I´m going back to Chuck and Larry now but see you later.

William Wallén

Sleep in, team pictures, a little work out, played some golf, had dinner and now here.. yeah today has been a calm day. not much to say about it. Tomorrow I have a meeting with coach and the school. So probably I will start school at wendesday.

The weather here is good. The sun is still shining and I´m still wearing shorts and a t-shirt outside. As I understood the weather back home in Sweden is pretty cold. Poor swedes ;)

I miss all my friends back home but most of all my family, LOVE YOU! But lucky me I´m having such a great time here so I don´t have to think about it to much.

William Wallén

Just had breakfast, I was to tired to write on my blog last night so I´ll do it now instead. yesterday We played against peterbrough again. last time it ended 2-2. Yesterday we won 5-3. We starting to play better as a team now and we´re just getting better and better. I played with Jordan and Bureau and we had one goal yesterday who I scored. today we´re having a day off but we have individual photos so I´m about to leave to the rink.

I will try to get pictures up here as soon as I can..

I´ll be back tonight my time!

William Wallén

Mississauga Majors - Owen sound attack 6-1. A game were we clearly were the better team the whole game. I played with Zac Rinaldo and Casey Cizikas. We clicked really good, unfortunatly Casey got a checking from behind so he had to leave the game but he´s alright now. And Zac just jumped on the guy who checked Casey and fought him so he got a game penalty. I played with Jordan and Bureau after that and it we played good to. I had one goal and one assist. It was a small rink so it went pretty fast out there. But I like it that way so that´s just good. It was a small arena but full croud so it was pretty loud out there. Tomorrow we´re playing against Peterbrough again at home! Got to go now.

William Wallén

We played against Peterbrough today and did not play very well. The score got 2-2. I played with Jordan and Bureau. I had one assist to the first goal that was in Powerplay. It was a 2 hours bustrip there and we all had our suits on. Very fancy;) Just got back home from the game and it´s really late now so it´s bedtime for me. Practice tomorrow and then game again at saturday!

William Wallén

Today I´m reallty tired! Everyone started school today except me and the guys who´s going to University. So we had Practice this morning instead of school, then we had lunch and then we had practice again;) today I played with Cizikas and Rinaldo.

Later this day me, J-man and Dave went to get me a cellphone but that didn´t go very well. I don´t even want to bring it up because it´s just so irritating!

I´ll make sure when I buy the phone it will have a camera in it so I can get some pictures to my blog! sounds good?

William Wallén

Monday, the day off from practice... what are you doing? Well me, Jordan, Dave and Barb went to play golf! It was actually really fun and it had been a while since i played golf. Non of us did impress that´s for sure but I managed to win this lousy golf round. It was so hot today and even worse at the golf course.

I went to the mall to get me a cellphone finally but ofcourse it´s labor day today so everything was closed. Later today me and J-man went out for a run.

For dinner today we went to an awesome chineese place where they had a buffet, and everything was so good. I ate way to much!

Tomorrow school starts but not for me because there is something that someone need to do but I don´t know what and who. So I have practice instead at the morning and then again at afternoon.

I´m going to bed now for shoo but I´ll be back tomorrow!

William Wallén

Today we had our last day at training camp. We just played a game today and then we were good to go home. We won this game to and the score was 6-5. I had 3 goals and 1 assist today.

Everybody is so nice and so funny! Yesterday we played our third game and the score was 2-2. I had one assist, and I played well. I just got to shoot more! But I will, I just got to have patient.

I got to help Jordan with breakfast now so I´ll be back tonight my time.

William Wallén

Heeey! The internet at my Canadian home is not working. I do not know why but that is why I have not wrote anything the last day. We have had two games so far and we won them both. I got to score one goal at a penalty shot! So far I just love it here. I really do. I do not have much time to write now but I will write more as soon as our internet works again.

William Wallen

I just passed the 1000 limit for visitors on this blog! keep it up that way;) I´m going to buy a camera so I can take pictures and add them to this blog!

William Wallen

Today Mississauga Majors training camp started! It was really great to meet everybody in the team. they´re so funny and everybody is so nice. Today we had first physics. It´s a doctor who is just going threw your body to make sure there´s nothing wrong. Then we had fitness tests. We did alot of jumping stuff, we did bench, we did chin-ups and we did running!

There´s one guy in our team who got drafted by philladelphia flyers this summer, his name is Zac Rinaldo. Apparently he´s a fighter, but he´s a great great guy. The first thing he said to me today when we met was: Hey I´m Zac, if there´s anyone who´s messing with you,you come to me!

Tomorrow we´re going on the ice for the first time as a team this year and I´m looking forward to it. I´m pretty tired from the fitness tests we had today so I´ll probably fall asleep pretty soon. I´ll be back tomorrow though.

William Wallen

today I finally took care of my phone! I buyed a new simcard to it, but dumb as I am the phone that I have doesn´t work here in Canada so I kneed to buy a whole new phone!! anyway, today I went with James and took care of the simcard wich was useless anyway, then I went to the rink where I had an off ice work out and then a couple of guys from the team and me went on the ice and played for like two hours. I´ve had a good day and now I´m at home alone with Jordan who got here today! Dave and Barb went off to VEGAS this morning so we´re having a big fat party!... No we´re not, we´ll get up at 7 tomorrow morning because our training camp starts tomorrow at 8.15.

I would say I´m pretty lost here in mississauga. Everything looks the same for me. I´m lucky that Jordan´s with me because he knows his way around here.
I just have one question... Where is all the girls!?!? I haven´t seen one good looking girl since I got here. I guess I´m a little spoiled when it comes to girls as I am from Sweden. well hopefully I´ll find them soon;)

William wallén

I have had a great day today and I will tell you why. I started this day with a great breakfast, then james picked me up and we went to get me an bank account. after that we went to the rink Hershey center where I got to meet my new headcoach Dave. I got my new equipment and also my helmet with wisir instead of cage as before. I also got to meet a team mate of mine.

everything feels very good right now and it would be weard if it didn't! everyone is so nice to me and it feels great to be here! although I miss my family!
But I am talking to them every day over mail so they seem a little bit closer

tomorrow Jordan gets here who also will stay here. It will be fun to live with a team mate I think!

tomorrow I will get a new number and a phone that will work all the way home to Sweden. So I can write it down here tomorrow so everybody knows where to call if you want to get in touch with me. Thats all for today and I'll be back tomorrow!

I´m Back home in Sweden now and with me I have a bronze medal from Ivan Hlinka cup. We won the last game in our group against Switzerland and finished at second place after Canada. We won the Switzerland game 10-2, I scored 2+1 and played really well with my linemates Jacob and Patrick.
Anyway we got to play the bronze game against Finland and won 3-2.
Canada won the gold medal against Russia in the final. I Finnished at fifth place in the scoring league with 4 goals and 1 assist in four games and I finished first in goal scoring league. Actually I didn´t get an assist that I should have against Switzerland so I scored six points but only got five.

On top of all this it was my birthday the 16th. 17 year old now! feels great;) and I have only five days left in Sweden before I leave for Mississauga :) awesome!

William Wallén

Finally I´ve found a computer so I can write about what has happened in Ivan Hlinka tournament so far.
We won the first game against Slovakia 6-5. We were the better team and Slovakia really didn´t had a chance. We could have scored three or four goals more but their keeper kept it close. I played with Magnus Pääjärvi and Martin Olsson and we had a good game. I scored two goals wich was fun. The other goals came from Patrick Cehlin, Jacob Josefson, John Norman and Anton Lander.

Yesterday we played against Canada and lost 4-3. It was a tight game but the Canadians won at last. I played against Cizika who I will play with in Mississauga. I´ll move next Sunday and I´m so excited!
we´re playing Switzerland today!

William Wallén

Hey everyone! Not much has happened in the last few days. Today I had one off-ice practice and two on-ice practices. Patric Hornqvist was on a visit today and we were in the gym working out together before ice time. He is so funny!
I´m very focused to get in shape this week and I can feel it´s coming. Friday we will get together and saturday we´re leaving for bratislava.
It will be a great trip for sure.

GLÄDJE!

William Wallén

I watched the Swedish U20 team today when they played their first game as a team this year against AIK. It ended up tie, 2-2. Oscar Moller scored both goals for Sweden. My friend Jacob got an assist in his first shift, Awesome! Sweden was the better team but they didn´t win after all.
I just got back from a great dinner with family, agents and 6 more players to say good bye to Nichlas Torp, Victor Hedman and Jacob Markstrom Who´s going to Lake placid tomorrow with the U20 team. I wish them best luck.

It´s only six days left, then we´re going with the U18 national team to Bratislava in Slovakia.
I can´t barely wait! And we´re coming for the gold medal for sure!
