My hockey career is like an ocean, has its waves but you just got to ride them out, challenges may come up but waves can’t always stay calm. Life couldn't have given me a better experience. A better journey than the one that was upon me. Hockey is a lifestyle and a challenge that i have taken on head first. At this time in life, spring of last year and current, I am apart of a welcoming, fearless hockey team called the detroit boardercats. Hockey is a sport full of ups and downs, happiness, and sadness, you have to take the goods with the bads. You can’t always win, be a good sport while being a mature person. Work hard, grind everyday, no days off tournaments are coming upon me. Never take for granted the opportunities that life gives you. Once you get them you never know if you'll get that chance ever again.There are two tournaments until nationals. In each tournaments there are 4 to 5 games. Every game matters, you got to work hard in each and every game. We played …show more content…
We did just that, in award we scored two quick goals, tied it up 5-5. We were all pumped up and very happy we tried, we were on the good side of the momentum at this point, nothing could stop us now. we were glad we made AAA and that is a really high caliber level of hockey. We were all happy and excited that we made it. The road was hard and rough but threw it all you have to stick threw it and never give up. Arriving in florida was amazing, the people, the friends, the view, and most importantly.. The rink. It was beautiful and one like no other, it was very big and stood out like a big 100 year old tree. This moment was important and i had to grasp the moment and never let go. Our first game was important, we came out strong and had confidence. We ended up losing by the score of 5-2, it was very tough and took the wind right out of our sails. Everyone was a little sad and upset but it didnt matter because we had to tough it out and work thru it. The
SOI-The purpose of this creative piece of writing is an entry from one of our hockey games from tournament. I have tried to use a connection to compare battle or war to hockey, to make the story become more brutal and realistic. I have written in first person to show that it is in my perspective and what I recollect from the game.
The first day we got there we had started off so wrong by arguing. We weren’t doing well and we argued most of the time. Us as a team, we honestly made ourselves look bad in front of the coordinators and other teams that were watching us. The coaches had given us a real big pep talking about sticking together as a team to make us better. Although we didn’t think we needed it, it actually
The game was one sided with us scoring early on then again in the second half. The final score was 2-0. I was ecstatic, I couldn’t believe that we had won the tournament. At the presentation of the trophy, all I could hear was the parents shouting and screaming, I was so proud to be part of the team.
Along the rocky road that is my softball career, my team and I have learned quite a few lessons. Not only did we get to know each other and the game of softball, we were also taught about life. We learned that to get where we wanted to be, we had to push ourselves, constantly practicing and working hard. Our team also had to overcome our many obstacles through perseverance. Another thing we had to learn was how to believe in ourselves and each other. As a player on that team, these things that the game has taught us- working hard, persevering, and believing- have become my laws of life.
Everyone knew we had a bunch of capability this season, so all the seniors were looking forward to the season. Ty Waltz and I were elected at the team captains, so that made me feel better as a player and individual to have that responsibility. At the beginning of the season, we had to deal with a few injuries so playing to our full capability was really hard. We won our first two games, then we had a rough stretch of really good teams. We didn’t win any of them, but we hung in with a Division one team, so we were pretty happy with that. Everything went pretty well from there. We started winning again, and we even beat Ottawa Glandorf and Celina for the first time in LB soccer history. OG has always either beaten us or tied until we upset them 2-1 at their own field. We had a bunch of momentum going into tournaments this season. Our first game, we dominated Ada 10-0. After that game, we had to go play at Riverdale. There was something about that team that we just couldn’t beat, even though we were better than them. We ended up losing that game 1-0, and I didn’t know what to think. Even though my high school soccer career was over, I handled it pretty
Flying off the ice, the setting sun was peering through the huge lobby windows and shining on the ice. Normally after hockey, I want to sit down and take a nap on the wooden benches we get ready on, but today I threw my gear off to see if I had made the varsity team. Don’t worry, I’ll get my post-hockey nap in later. All of the other kids have gotten undressed and are waiting with me to see if they had made it. My friends and I were already talking about what numbers we want and how we are carpooling to hockey. When the coach puts up the list everyone acts calmly thinking coach will change his mind if he sees any glimpse of excitement out of us. Cruising up to the piece of paper, I scan name after name, Mcardle, Sena, Richards. I was as
All throughout high school I played on the softball team. Proceeding the season before where we went undefeated with a district championship, my senior year we were supposed to be unstoppable. We received a few new players to add on to our army and the entire school was counting on our run to state. I was so excited to have an amazing end to my high school softball career, but unfortunately my dream was cut short when we lost in the first round of districts. I did not know that loss would change me the way it did.
Each game, my passion grew. Each team, new memories and lifelong friends were made. Sports sometimes make me feel disappointment and at loss; but it taught me to be resilient to a lot of things, like how to thrive under pressure and come out on top. Being the team captain of my high school’s football and lacrosse team showed me how having a big responsibility to bring a group together to work as one is compared to many situations in life. Currently playing varsity football, varsity lacrosse, and track I take great pride in the activities I do. Staying on top of my academics, being duel enrolled at Indian River State College, working three nights a week, and two different sport practices after school each day shaped my character to having a hard work
And as my focus has changed from hockey when I was a child to basketball now many new doors have opened for me and I am very thankful. But it’s not over yet as I hope one day to play for my national basketball team and if all works out well maybe get a chance to get paid to play the game that I love.
I have been involved in many activities throughout high school that have shaped me into the person I am today. These activities have exposed me to an immense group of different and diverse people. I’ve played hockey since age three, it is more than just a game. It is not only about playing hockey, it is about learning life skills that I will carry with me throughout the rest of my life. I have learned how to work as a team member no matter if things are going well or if they are not. You also build bonds between teammates throughout the years and make memories that will never be forgotten. A very big importance of the game of hockey is being able to represent my home city of White Bear Lake. Nothing is better than going out to represent our city in front of an arena
I woke up and got dressed for the game, I put on my shorts, gathered all my equipment, and made a game plan for the big game. I thought to myself, “I need to play the best game of my life and never quit.” I went downstairs and heard a car honking outside. I went to the door, put on my cleats, and went outside. My friend George and I got out of the car and put on our equipment, and went to start practicing. I was the goalie so of course I have the biggest responsibility on the field. I knew I had to step up and make a lot of saves.
Hockey has had a tremendous impact on my life because it has helped me deal with several problems, but one in particular had to be my height. I have always been smaller stature wise, but around sixth grade I stopped growing while other kept growing. My size caused me problems because I didn’t understand why I stopped growing, but in hockey it didn’t matter how tall I it only mattered the amount of effort I put in. My size was one of numerous problems that have occurred during my life, but I have been able to overcome and deal with these problems because of
baseball tournament for the second summer in a row, learning multiple lessons on life and
In terms of joining the sport of hockey I was a late bloomer. Most kids join when they are around the age of four, while I joined when I was in the fourth grade. Thinking back I realize that I really didn’t want to join after all. It was just a spur of the moment decision heavily influenced by my father and my best friend at the time, both of whom played hockey. As time went on I realized there was no changing my mind, at least not as long as I was a part of this family.
Hockey. A sport I have always loved ever since I was a kid. It was when my dad had taken me to an open ice skate when my hockey life began. I had my first pair of skates as a present when I was four years old. I never really knew of the sport at the time, but now I was able to expirence it. No one was present on the ice as I entered the rink. The cold of the ice ran down my back as I took my first steps on. The cold didn’t stop me though. As I stepped upon the ice, I had a feeling of relief. Hockey is what let me go fast. Always have I been the fastest kid in my class and hockey let me expand on what I loved to do. One stride at a time I went, until I was able to glide upon the ice. My blades of my skates sunk into the ice like a lion tearing at its prey. As the frost beat against my face, I soon realized that I was able to skate. Even though it was all fuzzy in my memory, I remember feeling all types of joy rush all throughout my body. It was the first sign of potential in hockey. It was a first omen.
