And I'm determined to get drafted by the end of this season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe success I anticipate is built on three years of razor-sharp focus and hard-earned respect. Not to mention how much of my personal life I sacrificed for hockey. The Titans trust me to lead them and I won't betray that. Nothing could possibly go wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUntil the former love of my life and current arch nemesis, Cameron Martinez, skates back into my life. His very presence throws me off balance.
