Personal Narrative: My First Hockey Team

Improved Essays
The car came to a sudden stop. I looked up and we were at the rink in East Boston where I could see the airport. Overhead the airplanes roared like lions. I dashed out the car and grabbed my hockey bag. I ran into the rink thinking about the game. I was determined that I was going to score a goal because it was my first game I would be playing in. I was so nervous I was drenched in sweat scared like watching a horror movie at night. I was think about the game, and did not know what to expect. Thinking about all those times I was practicing shooting a puck in the driveway. Also practicing on the ice, watching hockey games on tv and going to them. Out of nowhere a friend grabbed me and brought me to the locker room. Of course me I got dressed the fastest and was waiting to go out on the ice. I looked out of the locker room and onto the ice and it looked like I was looking at a cold ice cream machine fogged up. Our coached gathered us in the locker room, and gave us a pep talk, and it was time to go out on the ice. …show more content…
Skating around for warm-ups was cold and I froze like an ice cube but I got through warm-ups. As I was skating around for warm-ups the horn sounded and I jumped out of my socks. The horn meant that the game was beginning. In warm-ups I skated hard and shot the puck in the net all the

    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…

I could hear the steady breathing of the girl next to me and the beating of my heart.…

Although it has become steadily easier, and more about sharpening skills than developing them, in the beginning it was extremely difficult. The progress I have made since when I first began playing is immeasurable. I have come as far as I have in hockey through all the years of support from my father, because he’s always been happy to watch me play competitively.…

    I was terrified. I would try my hardest to get a good spot on the team by copying what the other girls did. But then I found out that I needed to do the things my coach said and forget what the other girls were doing and focus on what I was doing in my own way and that i needed to pay attention of how I was playing and concentrate on how all the girls passed the puck and that I needed to start being more confident of I play. Hockey has taught me that anything is possible and that I just need to make goals to accomplish them. At first when I started out playing hockey, I had a goal that I learn to do a crossover in two weeks.…

    After a long taxing day of school in the frigid month of January, I got into a car with my teammate and headed off to a varsity hockey game against Bridgewater Raynham. As soon as I open up the transparent glass doors, I can feel the brisk air brush upon my face. Instantly, the fond memory of my first rink experience poped up in my head when my cousin got an assist for his Norwood Mustangs varsity hockey team. I was young, only around six or seven years old. I remember him having a clear shot, but passing the puck to his linemate for the sure goal.…
