Short Story: The Grand Rapids High School Hockey Team

Decent Essays
Last night, The Grand Rapids high school hockey team beat the Duluth East Greyhounds and are now heading to state.
The players exploited their fans excitement and stepped up their game. After a mind boggling three periods, Micah Miller (an adept player) stepped up to the plate and scored an extemporaneous goal. The team then threw their equipment up like confetti at a grand parade.
A thrilled student said, “When he scored, everyone jumped up and cheered at the top of their lungs. It was lit.” Coach Klatt said, “I'm so proud of these kids, we aspire to win state!”
At the end of the night, the team forgot about all the erroneous plays they made. The coach didn't have to chide anyone. Even though the team had a bleak chance, it still pulled through.

    As we drove closer and closer to Duluth the team we were playing that day was the talking point in the car. The Omaha Tropics were who we were facing first of four possible games in the tournament. They were the heavy favorite to win with the reason being because they used this tournament as a tryout team for their winter team. That meant they brought a hefty amount of very skilled players to this tournament all giving one-hundred percent effort skating for a spot on their winter team in Omaha. Not to mention, their team is mostly the same players every year, so in reality seventy-five percent of these kids played together all year long.…

    I recall the day so clearly, impatiently waiting in the doctor’s office. Nothing was wrong with me; I was supposed to be at the rink for hockey practice or so I thought. Instead I was waiting to be called into a room. Little did I know I was about to hear those three dreaded words, the words no person ever wants to hear ‘You have cancer’.

    At some point in every person's life, they will have a special experience that will stick with them forever. One of my most memorable moments happened recently at a home volleyball game against Traverse City West.

I didn't think it really mattered what the outcome of the game would be, since we were only ninth graders.…
