Not lazy at all! I just imagine my dog having diarrhea and needing to get out asap when he's crying to go out.... He would be pissed to have to run down 3 flights of stairs 😂

The dog zoomies had me loling😂

Damn I thought you had more on under the jersey! How do you guys not freeze? 😭

I say don’t get any pets until you’re stable with ample amounts of space and convenience

Who takes care of the dogs when you are in Ottawa? Your girlfriend?

This was awesome Sammy

I once had to train a reactive dog. I learned a lot about the engage disengage method. Look into that, it might really help. It seems like hot dogs can fix almost anything. 😂 🌭🌭🌭

The second apartment you saw was SO cute! Loved the layout and all of the storage space and that kitchen!!! Hope y'all find the perfect space, we're about to start apartment hunting ourselves so I'm living through this vid for inspo on what kind of space we want lol.

I'm guessing you tell the the renters you're filming for your girlfriend and not a TH-cam video? 😃

As someone who picked a basement apartment for the sole reason of being able to open my door and let my dog out with ease I would never judge for not wanting to have to walk down and up 3 floors

No because I almost brought a dog during covid as well. It really felt like the world was ending then lol

Good luck with apartment hunting. I hope you find something with a\c + parking spots + green space for the pups. Googling "Do French bulldogs have tails?" You're a great dog-mom!

I have a Covid cat so I definitely get the Covid pet syndrome haha. I can never work from home cause he’s constantly wanting attention if I’m home

I love them! 🥹😍🥰

Hi Could you explain the protected list? Have we seen the last of Madeline Wethington?

I have one of these at my house and I can barley get 10 😅

Your breakfast sucks! I guess it’s efficient fuel for an athlete? Looking forward to my homemade whole grain apple-sweet potato waffles. Cheers!

So, shoulder pads directly on skin? Ouch!

Love this channel! We are glad to have you here in Ottawa!

Shoutout to having the same 11:11 tattoo! Loved the vlog! Hoping to catch my first Charge game soon ☺️

Is that 15K US or Canadian

Such a cool video, thanks for sharing your experience! Maybe for an FAQ video or whatever, but I play in Europe and am currently also a bubble player. How do you stay positive/ not feeling so frustrated that you’re not a regular rostered player even though you’re working so hard? I find it so hard mentally.

Thank you for this....really great information and clears a bunch of things up. Being on reserve is rough... 15K?!? ouch i get why it is a tough choice for some players like you said those in NY or BOS if you have no where to stay. But really glad you stayed here, love seing you play and love you vids...keep at it! Cheering for you! and now when's the next day in life Vid? lol

Hey Sam! Your eyes are so pretty! Are they 2 different colours or it’s the lighting? Thanks for this amazing video once again it was very interesting. Keep it up I’ll be cheering for you ❤❤

Hi Sam! I loved your transparency about being a reserve thanks for being so open! As someone who plays women’s d3 and also sometimes has to deal with being scratched you’re a huge inspiration! Thanks for the video ❤

thanks for explaining that, that's globally what I'd think, but you explained it very well :) I'll keep my fingers crossed for another contract soon for ya !

Loving your videos! Please keep them coming!! 😍

keep up the videos! i had no idea this is how it went so thank you for the perspective

Still salty that yall beat us in NY, but I hope you get that contract. You deserve it, especially since you put in that work.

Don't give up girl! You will get your time to shine and we all know it! Would love to see a day in the life with the team at home too as like a comparison!

Wow thank you so much for breaking everything down! That is crazy that you’re not just a scratch, you are essentially on waivers at all times 😮 I’m so glad your teammate backed you up and gave you somewhere to stay! I will be cheering you on during Ottawa games!!

All I ever wanted was a black grand national

Thanks for explaining this and your situation. Very interesting. Now 15K obviously isn't enough to live on. Neither is 36K if that's the minimum. Are 2nd jobs or part time jobs a big part of it for many or some of the woman in the league? Gotta love the game not the money I guess for a new league or this situation. Again thanks taking the time here. A lot a very new and interesting information.

Thanks for explaining this Sam!

Good luck Sam, with expansion looming in the future you will definitely get signed. You stay positive and keep working hard. I’m sure you are a great teammate.

Thank you for sharing. I had no idea you could be called by any team?? I am glad you feel valued since you really are an important asset. I really hope the CBA is renegotiated and continues to improve wages especially for reserves.

Dont give up Sam !.your dream will come true. Thanks your so great!

My fav. PWHL player ❤

Thanks for explaining. I heard a lot about 10-day contracts last year (Dubois, Boreen, M. Daoust) but not as much about LTIR replacements like Taylor House or Olivia Knowles. But I see now you and Buckles were two of them when you came in to finish last season

Are you going to the game tmr at TD if so I can’t wait to See you!!!

Love the insight Sam! Keep putting in the work 💪🏼 and you will get that full contract! Glad you got a 10 day! Go Charge! ⚡️

We love you here in Ottawa Sam!

Very interesting, thanks for sharing your experience. Loved hearing your honest and raw perspective about being in the league and a reserve player. Keep up the videos! 🥰

And we love you! Always rooting for you! Go Charge! Go Sam!

Thanks for every time you step up for Ottawa, Sam 💜 We'll be cheering for you to get that full contract!

Hey Sam, love your insight. Question for a possible future FAQ video - are the players talking about PWHL expansion much? Feels like there a lot of great players not getting to play as much just due to limited spots available. What are the dream expansion cities getting talked about?

15k a year is actually insane… how do most reserve players get by? Do a lot of them do like brand deals or something for the extra income? Like, I’m a broke university student but now I wanna buy yall a coffee cause that’s actually insane

I always wondered what the reserve player was and this video was very informative. Thanks for the video.

Hopefully there will be more teams so you can get a full roster position😊 maybe vancouver lol

Hey sam could ottawa sign you from reserve to full time player? If they wanted to?
