Jason Missiaen (17) is another 2008 NHL draft prospect. He is in his second season with the Peterborough Petes (OHL). He is from St. Thomas, Ontario.
Here is his entry:
The morning of game day I like to keep to myself to avoid distractions. Throughout the day I try to picture myself making saves, always having good positioning and good rebounds. I try to eat the same things at the same times. My pre-game meal consists of spaghetti with meat sauce. If the game is at 7pm I like to eat at 3pm. After my meal I take a short nap 30-45 minutes max.
When I arrive at the rink I tape two sticks both toe to heal. After that I warm up on the bike and stretch while visualizing myself in game situations. Throughout this time I am not socializing with fellow teammates. While I am getting dressed I put on my left side first then my right. At the end of warm-up I like to leave the ice with 41 seconds left on the clock. During the anthems I like to stand in between my crease and the hash marks while visualizing more game situations. During stoppages of play I always skate to the corner to my left and never to the right. My water bottle is always pointing to the left of the goal.
