Get out of your room.
Go to a coffee shop. Rent somewhere for the weekend. Sit in a park. Walk through a part of the city you've never been to. Go anywhere that isn't the same four walls you've been staring at for months.
Your environment shapes your thinking more than you realise. Same room, same thoughts. New space, new clarity.
The number of ideas that hit when you change location will make you wonder why you stayed stuck in one place for so long.
ROSTER UPDATES 🚨
The Fleet have activated defender Olivia Zafuto from the Reserve Player List. In a corresponding move, forward Olivia Mobley has been moved to LTIR.

The #NHLBruins Youth Hockey Development Team, Andrew Raycroft, and Olivia Zafuto from the Boston Fleet traveled to Marblehead, MA last month to host a @TDBank_US PASS Clinic with the Marblehead Hollyhocks.

If you’re struggling right now in any way, skip the life hacks for a minute.
Go to church this Sunday.
Even if you don’t normally go. Even if you’re “spiritual not religious.” Even if you have PTSD from the religious boredom of church as a kid. Just go sit in the back row and be still for an hour.
Almost everything in your life right now is optimized for production or consumption. Slack, spreadsheets, TikTok, email, sales calls. All output and input. Almost nothing is sacred, quiet, or unmonetized.
Church is one of the last places left that isn’t trying to sell you something or steal your attention. It’s an hour built around the idea that you are more than your revenue, or your value. It's one of the few places where the only goal is to confess your flaws, let them go and have some faith.
It's a place that will welcome everyone, even and maybe especially if you hate yourself right now.
Sit, stand, sing, or just listen. Let someone read words that have outlived every empire and every market cycle.
Let your brain remember: money is a tool, not a god. You are not the sole author of your story.
You’ll walk back out into the same world, same problems, same bank account, but it will feel a little less loud and a little less about you. That’s insanely useful if you’re carrying heavy stuff right now.
Tomorrow, you can go back to your problems.
Today, give yourself permission to just be a human.
If things are brutal right now, consider this your permission slip: Close the laptop. Go to church. Let God be bigger than your to‑do list for one hour.
Wicked good news: Oz is 🆙
We’ve signed defender Olivia Zafuto to a 10-day contract. The move was made to help solidify the team’s blue line depth while defender Zoe Boyd is sidelined day-to-day with a lower-body injury.

Comfortably Numb- Pink Floyd- David Gilmour Guitar Solos- Violin Cover by Nina D
Nina's Notes🎼: Though I am not trained in jazz (I have a classical background in violin and theory), I've always been fascinated with the genre. One of the things they tell you when learning jazz is that if you want to become a great soloist yourself, transcribe great solos. This process allows your brain to analyze and absorb what it is hearing.
As a classical player, improvisation was foreign to me. My favorite genres are classic rock and prog, so naturally those were the solos I first gravitated to when learning to transcribe. I transcribed this solo in my late teens, one of my first, as this is one of the best and was at the top of my list.
I've learned something new from each solo I've ever transcribed. For those who bash anyone playing "cover music," really they just don't understand the skills that are necessary to becoming a great instrumentalist. It takes constant hours, years, of practice, of scales, etudes, and standard repertoire (in any genre) to remain competent on your instrument. Transcribing and performing these rock solos has added to my rock competence, the same way learning Mozart or Bach has added to my classical competence.
