Jr Flyer Alumni, Jeff Corey scores first professional goal.

I hope Jeff doesn't mind me sharing his experience with the rest of the Jr Flyers family. I will post a picture as soon as one becomes available - Bud

Hey Bud,
I saw you put my signing up on the website and I wanted to say hello and tell everyone how I am doing for all the guys back at the rink. I played my first game last weekend against grand rapids and believe it or not, I actually scored my first professional goal as well in the second period. It happened so fast but it was basically a 3-2 rush and I was the middle lane drive heading to the net, the D left me alone and my winger saw that and just hit me with a perfect tape to tape pass which I was able to redirect five hole on the goalie trying to come across.
I didn't even celebrate I was so shocked, I just stood there behind the net with the biggest smile on my face and was just like holy xxxxt, did I really just score my first goal. It was pretty cool, something I will never forget that's for sure. I played last night as well, against Iowa, was not able to score but I felt more comfortable out there and starting to get a grasp on the pro style of game, which is a lot different from college.
Everything is great, Toronto is unbelievable and the city is awesome, I really cant' explain how much fun it is playing professional hockey. Just a dream that finally came true. But I just wanted to say hello and everything, tell the boys in the pro shop and Binns that I said hello and everything else.
 
Thanks so much,
Jeff
