When I started school in Canada, I was in grade four (4), I played hockey for the first time and I loved it right away. Did I forget to mention, I was good at it too even though I never played it before that. I learned about hockey in school and every times I had gym class, I couldn’t wait to go and play. In grade five (5), I was in a floor hockey team. I do not play ice hockey due to the fact I’m still learning how to skate. I love playing hockey more than anything. When I graduated from elementary school, I was looking forward to joining hockey team in middle school. When I finally started middle school, I asked the gym teacher, Mr. Brown if they have a hockey team. He said, “No there is no hockey team. Sorry!” In grade eight (8), there was boy’s hockey team.

When I came to Canada and I heard about cross-country, I wanted to run. I’m a fast runner and once my grade five (5) gym teacher asked me, “How come you are such a fast runner? Did someone train you to run fast?” I said to him, “No sir, no one have trained me to run fast. I just love running. Back home, I would go out and play Tag or Man haunt with

But the number of minority members beginning to play the game and break through to the NHL has been gradually increasing over the last decade. In 2004, 17 black players played in the NHL.

    Fear not your best friend fear Eagerly waiting for the sound of the final bell ending the game, I limped back to the locker room ashamed of failing my teammates once again. With my jersey drooping below my knees, I dreaded every second of ice time starring at a swarming pool of merciless giants. Receiving the puck gave you the opportunity to score, but for me it meant running into a wall. Running into other players sent me flying through the air before gasping for air and landing dazed on the verge of unconsciousness. The condemnation of failing to contribute to my team or participating in the physical aspect of hockey reminded me I was in a dark world of self-loathing because I couldn't accept this fact.…

    We stumbled one by one onto the ice. the cold air immediately stung my cheeks and numbed my toes. The other players were warming up; effortlessly weaving through cones and performing crossovers with such ease that it looked as if they were dancing the waltz in a ballroom, swiftly gliding back and forth, making sharp and precise turns, before lining up to practice shooting. A wrist shot, a snapshot, a slapshot a -the nets not over there -shot. In the locker room, everyone boasted to each other; “five goals seven assists.”…
