Memorable trip to Italy and Switzerland

During the Holiday Break, I took a nine-day trip to Italy and Switzerland with the Gustavus Adolphus women’s hockey team. (I am one of the team’s assistant coaches.)

The team took sightseeing tours of Milan and Lake Como in Italy as well as Lugano, Chur, St. Moritz and Zurich in Switzerland. It was a wonderful opportunity to experience different countries and cultures.

Our team played three exhibition games including one against the Swiss National Team, which will compete in the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver. The team also played a game at an outdoor rink located in the middle of the Swiss Alps. It was quite the setting!

To give you an idea of what the trip was like, I put together a little video blog. Click on the arrow to watch.
