My Hockey World
I can never see myself not playing hockey. Hockey is my passion, love, and my favorite sport in the intire world. Hockey is something important to me.I don't know what I’d do without it. Hockey brings my family together from skating on our pond to going to a Redwings game. It might not be waking up on Christmas morning to you, but to me it's anything I can imagine. And it’s more than hockey. Is the joy knowing that you have something to rely on. Hockey has taught me so many life lessons, ways to cheer me up, and i don't know what I’d do without it.

At first when I started out playing hockey, I had a goal that I learn to do a crossover in two weeks. But one day I thought that goal was like sponge bob getting his driver's licences. I didn't know why but I was upset. I didn't know why at the time but know I do. I was so stressed out of the older girls on my team that I thought that my goal was weak. But I realized no goal is to big or small. And if i didn't realize it then, I wouldn't have been a great

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…
