Hi, My name is Louie Educate. I am a freshmen here at Nichols College. I am also 21 years old since I spent there years after High School playying Jr's. I came to Nichols College to basically play hockey. I am from Chicago, Illinois and have grown up playing hockey. I came to this school with my butterhead friends Mike Schiavone (shiver) and Johnny Blaus. I have lived in Chicago my whole life and started playing hockey when I was 3 years old. I live with my mom and my brother since my parents got divorced when I was younger although I still see my dad all the time. Life in Chicago is unreal. Probably one of the best places to live in the world. Im always in the city or at the beach. All of the resturants are amazing along with great night life in the city. Then of course you have the Chicago sports teams. Im a huge fan of the Blackhawks, Cubs, and Bears. I go to every Blackhawks game I can. For the previous four years of my life I have been playing Jr. Hockey in Chicago, Michigan, and South Dakota. Those were easily the best four years of my life. In Jr. hockey all you do is play hockey, party and play hockey, and party some more. You basically can do whatever you want for the whole season. Now coming to Nichols kind of being a culture shock, ware there is basically nothing to do, and the RA's cry if you mess with someones name plate on their door. Sick school.
I am hoping to learn more about how to make dirty powerpoints, with cool little things that happen in them. Everything else should be kind of intresting and I'm hoping to have a fun time in this class, because there isn't a lot of fun things to do in class, so hopefully being on computers will make it a lot funner.
Jeremy Roenick's blog comes out once or twice a week on NHL.com about various topics that intrest him. Roenick being a former NHL superstar alway had good insite that is also alot of the times funny. In this Article Roenick talks about Ilya Kovalchuck of the Devils in this artice and also the recent struggles of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Addin stories of his former days in the NHL to give the artice a commical feature.

Hello Louie, good to see you mentioned me in your post, friend. I have to agree with most of your post, mainly on the topics of Chicago being an amazing place to live and also junior hockey being the best years of my life. I have been to many different places mainly because of hockey and nothing is better than coming home and spending time in Chicago. The three years I spent playing junior hockey, 2 of which were away from home, were the most fun years of my life. It was nice to have a break from school and being on your own. Coming back to school was a pretty difficult thing to do like you said, a cultural shock, where you had to get used to doing things you don’t feel like doing, such as homework and studying. As much as it sucks living at Nichols, I think it made adjusting to college pretty easy even though I wish I never had to do it and could just only play hockey forever.
