Journey V.5 marks the chapter where the journey was lived.

Not every lesson happens on the ice.

Between practices, games, travel, and competition, there are moments that become just as important as the sport itself.

San Sebastián, Spain was one of those moments.

A day spent away from the rink. Surfing in the Atlantic Ocean ( Bay of Biscay ). Walking the city. Exploring the coastline. Sharing experiences with teammates outside of hockey.

For a brief time, the focus shifted from competition to connection.

The memories created here weren't measured by scores, standings, or statistics. They were built through conversations, laughter, new experiences, and the simple reminder that the journey is about more than the destination.

Years later, these moments remain just as meaningful as the games themselves.

Because the best parts of the journey are often the ones that were never planned.

Looking back, this chapter marked the moment the journey was experienced beyond the game.

Not where the journey started.

Where the journey was lived.

Every location.
Every lesson.
Every chapter.

Every journey leaves a mark.
