Personal Narrative: The Goal

The Goal

It was the start of the 1st period. Me, Potter and Rock were on the bench. We still had to wait 2 shifts, but it felt like 10 seconds. So the black puck is deep in the other team’s zone so me and Potter chase it down.

“I got left you got right!” I yell.

I said this so we can trap the guy so he can’t go anywhere but what I didn’t realize that there was trouble getting Rocco on because Seth tripped so he wasn’t there to get his guy. So with Rocco’s guy wide open me a Potter worry so we slow down a bit, and just enough for the guy to move it to Rocco’s guy. Now he is darting down the ice with three of their guys and only 2 of our defenders and me, Potter and Rocco are about 15 yards behind. So we skate as a hard as we can.

From what I saw, the goalie predicted where the puck was going to go, and caught it out of the air. The goalie passed it to his teammate, but a roughriders player came and rammed him to the ground.
