Reflective Essay: Washington Capitals Play Against Dynamite

Improved Essays
On November 23, I went to see Washington Capitals play against Edmonton Oilers. I chose the event because never had the chance to watch a Hockey game. I have seen other sports like Football, Soccer, Tennis, and etc. These past events have some similarities between the emotions and fans they have. Also, I had a great time attending these games and learn the difference between the sports. I got no permission from nobody, and I decided for myself. The only person I ask is my friend Michael and some friends. However, the things would have trouble was getting permission from other people to be record or photograph without their knowledge. I did consider forming a statement granting me permission the people I’ve interacted. It wouldn’t work at all because having each person sign the paper. What I did I spoke to the people I’ve talked and photograph asking them, and if I could have their permission to photographed or talked to use the information for my research.

He answered once a while with his family and trying a way to spend time with them. He is also a lawyer in D.C., and always busy with work. When he has time, he watches them on the television. During the game, the caps were taking shots after shots. Both teams were going at it, and fans getting up from seats thinking it’s about to be a goal. The defense from both teams were tired and figuring out a way to turn it around. The atmosphere around the stadium was a high energy cheering the fans. Around me, I’ve seen people drinking beers, and having a great time with their friends, coworkers, and family. The smiles and laughter amongst them were priceless to

    but it sure had our family in an uproar. The walk back to the car it was complete silence, which was pretty awkward but once we got into the car we all started talking about the game. Half of us were very happy and the other half was pretty disappointed. Even though there were a few arguments and disagreements we had a lot of fun going to the game as one big family. I think it almost brought us closer as a family because we spent the whole day together.…

    The Tournoi International de Hockey is the biggest youth hockey tournament in North America and is held each year in Quebec City, Canada. Every year thousands of kids ages 10-12 come to this tournament, and I was fortunate to be one of the selected players from Georgia to play in this tournament. Through this two week tournament, I got the chance to stay with a family from Quebec and experience what they do on a daily basis. With this family, whom I am still in contact with today, I learned a new culture, got to tour the city and have some memories that I will never forget. To add to the experience, all the games were played the Pepsi Colisee, which is a NHL sized rink.…

    Imagine a rocket, specifically molded, perfectly symmetrical, prepared to do it’s job exactly how it needs to with no room for error. Seems almost perfect, on the other hand we have the Rockets, my AAA hockey team the summer before sixth grade. It was made up of players from the La Crosse area who played and practiced together every summer for the last few years. We weren’t exactly the most organized team in the sense of having professional attitudes. The ceiling at our practice arena had leaks and water would pour out if it was hit with anything.…

    Standing outside the Pittsburgh Penguins locker room after Game 5 of the Stanley Finals against the Nashville Predators I had never been more excited of the career path I chose. The adrenaline and anticipation as we wait for the locker room to open up for interviews only makes me more excited as I know I will be the only woman with a camera pushing and shoving for that perfect shot. Getting to see my favorite team get to the Stanley Cup Finals and being able to film every step along the way is a moment I will always remember and being able to be a part of history as the Penguins clench the series and win back to back cups. The parade that followed was unreal as all of Pittsburgh turned out for the team and there I was filming every moment. These two moments are only a few that have made me want to work in the sports industry as a cinematographer, editor, or producer.…

    “Game Day” isn’t a regular day at Xavier University of Louisiana; it’s a day for Xavier’s Golden Nugget’s to defend their pride, while we cast our wide angel lens towards the basketball court, capturing the engulfing reflection pool in all of its pride. Athletics are a big part to most universities and students’ life. Either they love to participate or some love to go and cheer their peers and colleagues on. I learned this while working at a Xavier’s Women basketball game. I wanted to see my fellow students in a less stressed atmosphere, rather than a classroom. My interest was also peaked because I watched basketball games in high school…

Everything around me stopped for a brief second while I sat trying to comprehend what was happening.…

    My family has always been a sports family. Ever since I can remember the entirety of my life outside of school has revolved around sports. For my dad it was soccer, a sport which I played and enjoyed but unlike my parents, when they were younger, I had a burning desire to play hockey. Hours of running wildly around my house dressed in goalie equipment, finally convinced my parents to sign their 5 year old up for timbits hockey. I enjoyed playing the game for many years to follow, and still do to this day, but there came a point where I was not getting what I wanted out of playing hockey competitively.…
