With a big paper I didn't want to write, a hockey game I couldn’t wait to play in, and a family gathering later that night, all of the things I had to do piled up. I hung around my house after waking up, watching “America's Next Top Model” and making pancakes for breakfast, not too worried about the obligations I had. Two hours came and went and I headed out to my hockey game. I piled up the car with my gear and drove to Nobles to meet the team and play our last game.

    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.

    It’s the first day of summer and I’ve never been more indecisive. My sister is currently on speaker phone expecting me to leave for Chicago in an hour or so for a visit. She’s ranting about all the things we’ll get to do together once I arrive. I’m hoping she can’t hear my desperate pleading in the background as I’m whispering to my mom that I don’t want to go.…

    It was on a cool spring night in the middle of May. I was running on a field next to 11 of my teammates and 12 opponents. We were losing the lacrosse game by two points and we had four minutes left in the game. I instinctively made a choice that looked bad on the outside but ultimately… was still a bad choice.

We went back and forth with Jr. Sens, and neither team got any scoring opportunities. Before I felt the game even started, it was already the third period, and the game was still stuck at 0-0.…

    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.

    There, up on the shelf, sits my shiny red hockey stick. The white tape is worn from my last time on the ice. Black puck marks on the white tape stand out and haunt me back to my last competitive hockey game that resulted in a devastating loss. No, it is not just any hockey stick.
