Final Day of the Season

Today was the final day of the 2005-06 Chinese National Women’s Hockey Season. We had a regular day of a couple practices and a lifting session. The next week the girls return to their hometown teams for the women’s National tournament in Harbin and then they have a mere three weeks off until May 7th when the 2006-2007 season begins for them. They begin the next season with a week of Chinese Army training.

For me, I head back to the United States on Sunday and will meet with the NY Islanders to determine what the future plans for the project might be. It was a bittesweet day. A long seven months is over, with much accomplished and much left to be done.

At night I went out to dinner with the staff for a “thank you” dinner. We again had the traditional hot pot dinner. A picture of the favorite hot pot place is below:


Good Night from Harbin!
