Personal Narrative: My First Midget Minor Team

Decent Essays
I am a big hockey player/fan. I am going to be entering my first midget minor team which is the lower team that there is for players 16 and under. I am thinking of going to play in the NAHL which means The North American Hockey League which is junior hockey league which is a way to get into the college/NHL (National Hockey League) level. I went to a camp they said I do have what it takes to play in the NAHL for their team. This is a big thing for me considering that I could finish high school in Austin, Minnesota. I play for 3 hockey teams if I do well at a tryouts, I play Kahoks hockey JV and Varsity and if the tryouts go well I have a big chance of making my first midget minor team. My favorite hockey team is the Chicago Blackhawks. I am also a cross country runner for Collinsville which is a big part of staying in shape for hockey season. …show more content…
I have once won a championship about 4 years ago when I played my first year of peewees, There is an age limit of when to play because there is mite, squirt, peewee, bantam, and then midget. So back in about 2013 I was playing my first year of peewees and the team was nothing really special at the first few games then our team got together and worked well. Me and my former linemate became known as the gruesome twosome, yes now I look at the name it sounds weird but I did not think that at the time, but when we got on the ice we knew exactly what each other thought and we knew when to be tough and physical. We were the two to scored the game tying goal and the game winning goal in the championship, I scored the game tying goal off a rebound, and my linemate got in scramble in front of the net and the puck went in the net

    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.…

    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’ve been playing the incredible sport of Ice Hockey for over 10 years now. 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.…

    Out in the long grassed outfield, all my worries went away. I forgot all that happened the innings before. All that mattered was if the ball entered the outfield air, the ball was mine. Nothing could stop me, I loved it too much. The outfield felt so small, I know I could cover all the field.…

    One situation where I found myself in a fixed mindset was when I was a freshman at Mountain Pointe high school trying to make the baseball team. At the time, I had a half-hearted passion for baseball that made me want to be on the school baseball team, but I felt that everything would come natural to me because I was Dominican. I was quite proud of how Dominicans were typically great at baseball quite naturally it seemed. However, with this knowledge I became highly critical about everything I did when playing baseball at the high school camps before the baseball tryouts. I did not focus on overall improvement as I tried to ensure that every throw, batting, and pitch was perfect.…
