I was watching Hockey Day Minnesota inside a time share that our family friend had let us use. The irony of the outdoor weather didn’t hit me until I realized that it was an extreme Temperature and people were ice fishing. That moment was the first moment when I truly felt a little Minnesotan. My surroundings made me appreciate the event even more. I felt like I was celebrating the beautiful sport with the Minnesotans that loved it. Minnesotans love Hockey more than almost anything. The sport is
regained my balance and began my passion for ice hockey. At age six, I joined my first ice hockey team. My team consisted of twelve equally talented kids just looking to have fun. We were by no means the best in our league, but our determination towards improving our skills would deceive you. I was blissfully unaware of how much I would learn about myself through a sport that pushes you physically, mentally, and emotionally. The most unique thing about hockey though, is how it forces you to adapt. Years
Their is going to be a lot of obstacles you will have to overcome in your life, because whether we want to believe it or not humans make mistakes, and have to overcome challenges. One challenge I had to overcome was making my hockey team a couple years ago.

So when I had heard that I was going to be
As I walk out of the locker room, I immediately feel the fresh and cold air along with eager players filled with excitement. I have played hockey since I was three and have been an ice hockey referee for the past 4 years. As a player, I have learned the rules of hockey but as a referee I have learned why we have the rules and how to enforce them. My goal as a referee is to make sure I enforce the rules properly and ensure a safe and fun environment for the players. Throughout my career as a referee
Im doing my essay on When I played varsity hockey for the first time. The first time that I stepped foot on the ice was in 4th grade, I still remember that moment, the cool breeze hitting my face while I stepped onto the Perham hockey rink. All the kids trying to stay on there feet while they skated for the first time, moms and dads trying to coach them from outside the rink. The coach would just keep telling us over and over again To not give up and just keep trying, and one day you will
Sixteen years condensed into a paper is harder said than done as it is arduous not to miss anything from October 13, 2001, up until the present. From the absurd amount of family and friends I have to my hopefully not unrealistic goals, there is a lot to acknowledge. In the school hallways you might find me as your average high schooler, or your average athlete on the court, but as the generations implemented, do not judge a book by its cover. Three words you could use to portray me as an individual
Canada’s unofficial national sport, hockey, is an enormous part of Canadian culture. Many Canadian citizens have contrasting views on how the game is perceived. In my essay I am going to explore the variations between Gzowski and Coupland view against Cormack and Cosgrave’s. Within the paper I will also express my opinion on how I perceive the wonderful game of hockey. Gzowski and Coupland approach Canadian hockey as our nations pride. They both explain in their readings how every Canadian of every
outfit as I, the coaches and staff. I grabbed a used hockey stick that was leaning on one of the walls and stood in line. I was waiting. Waiting to join in a scrimmage game with the hockey team I work for. The problem was, I never played hockey before. I decided to join in because famous hockey player Wayne Gretzky once said, “You miss all the shots you don’t take” This was a thrill I was willing to try.
