Puck Luck

It was a boring rainy day outside of the Rogers Arena on March 31st, but on the inside, it was anything else. As over 20 thousand fans were overwhelmed with excitement for my team playing in game seven of the finals for the 2031 Stanley Cup World Championship. However sadly my coach had chosen my goalie partner Braden Holtby to play in the game over me, but for some reason, I was still very nervous about our game against the Russian Rockets. Me and the rest of my team did team warm up playing sewer ball in the hallways then did a quick run and stretched. Next, I did my personal warm up doing stretches and hand-eye.I then went back to our dressing room to start getting ready for this big game, once we were ready our coach came in

But Russian player Ron Duke took this too far as he punched Connor Boeser in the face giving him a five-minute penalty. With only ten minutes left in this game, my team had to capitalize on this opportunity and capitalize they did. As Sidney Lundquist made an amazing pass to Connor Boeser for his second goal of the night, With this game the game was tied at three to three with only 5 minutes left in the regulation. The rest of the period was great except for the fact that Ron Duke and Sidney Lundquist had gotten into a fight causing both of them to be kicked out the game. This left both teams without their best players going into overtime. Although this was a great loss for both teams, it still didn't faze them. They were all only focused on one thing and thing only, the trophy they all dreamed about as children, THE STANLEY CUP! So the teams headed back to their locker rooms for 10 minutes before overtime started to listen to there game plan. My coach walked in and got all the boys, motivated by saying “Do you remember that scene from that movie on Netflix? The team was down, and the coach, he gave that speech. Yea yea, you remember that scene? Remember.” Then the team roared up remembering the quote from that Netflix movie ready to …show more content…
We played our hearts out and were able to get a power play. Just then we noticed someone walking back to the bench, AND IT WAS BROCK. He had stitches all across the right side of his nose as he skated back onto the ice as my coach said “This guy really has no quit” Next with only 30 seconds left on our powerplay Brock got an amazing saucer pass from me to send him on a breakaway, as he skated past the faceoff circle he began to deke, first went left then he did a toe drag, but he wasn't fast enough as rival defenceman Lil Pump tripped him. Boeser angered looked over to the ref just to realize the ref was giving a signal, he spoke “Lil Pump number 14 tripped Connor Boeser number 6, clear the ice it's a penalty shot” The crowd went ecstatic chanting brock as he had a great chance to end the game. So the Brock got set and began his penalty shot, first he shot full speed to the left side of the net, faked a shot which fool the goalie then did a spin-O-Rama and tucked the puck into the net. Next, I remember the announcer screaming “HE'S DONE IT BROCK BOESER HAS WON THE STANLEY CUP FOR THE VANCOUVER SUN DEMONS!” As the whole team tackled Brock as we celebrated our win, I couldn't believe it. We were Stanley

Ryan Chelius who ignored (or didn’t hear, which I find hard to believe) Coach Gerry’s command to get off the ice because of an over extended shift, continued his pursuit of the puck only to score the tying goal. With the game tied at 3 everything seemed to start to unravel, when AJ Sandorfi was called for slashing at 1:44 left in the game. The Levittown/Hicksville team took a time out at this point; the RVC Cyclones used their time out earlier in the period.…

    My domination of easily breezing by my neighbors in street hockey and always ranked at the top of stat sheets for scoring in recreational hockey, abruptly ended when I joined my first competitive travel hockey team. My first game exemplified the setbacks my fear imposed on my team when I frighteningly moved out of the way of an enormous player to grant him a free pass to the net in which he scored the game winning goal. Shamefully looking at me as if I were an ally of the other team, I became alienated after my team after they began the tradition of…

    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.
