Columbus BlueJackets
Tonight my husband and I will walk across the street to Nationwide Arena to watch the hockey game – Blue Jackets vs San Jose Sharks. What a fun thing to do on a dreary and cold Wednesday evening! We will enjoy watching Mark Methot, our neighbor from across the hall, have another great game.
We met Mark last year at a condo mixer honoring our hockey player neighbors. He is a humble, respectful young man and very easy to talk to. When Jeff and I first saw the players coming back after the summer, my husband commented that Mark had bulked up from the lean, mean player of last year.
Mark started on third line. He broke out and scored goals in the first few games and moved up to second line. The Dispatch called him, “… A physical specimen who isn’t afraid to fight.” We saw Mark’s scrappy determination against Pittsburg in an altercation in front of our goal. The Blue Jackets lost that game in a face off. Jeff congratulated Mark on his perseverence and pluck a few days later, and was told, “You will see more of that.”
These are the characteristics I’ve seen in Mark that I want to emulate:
