We lost every game. That was hard for not only me, but for the whole team. It was stressful, considering we were a great team the season before. It hurt me in a big way, but it made me stronger in an even bigger way. In the 2015-2016 hockey season, I played for the New Ulm Sleepy Eye 15uA hockey team. This was a major step from the last season, when I was in 12uB. My team and I won almost every game when I was a 12u. I was so used to winning.

I give my team credit though, because despite all of the troubles we had during the games and how enraged and bitter you got, everything left when we got in the locker room. I was such good friends with everyone in that locker room, that you could never be mad at any of them. I have been playing hockey with these girls for a long time that we all got so close. I knew random facts about everyone of those girls. I was not going to let a game that no one can control, break up our great friendships. That is what I loved about my
