Phil Magistrale just couldn’t feel it anymore. The anticipation, the excitement, the bliss that hits those ice warriors whose blades first hit the ice before the centre-ice puck-drop, was gone. “It just wasn’t becoming fun for me anymore to go to the rink,” said the fourth-year defenceman. “It just wasn’t worth it anymore.” After a…
