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…

ever been to a game of the greatest sport in the world? I recently went to a hockey game, and had a splendid time. Hockey is a game play on ice, with hockey sticks. The goalie protects the goals from the opposing team. Each team may have six players on the ice at a time, including the goalie, and there are two team play against each other. Hockey is a very fast pace sport, and one of my personal favorites. At this hockey game I saw amazing feats, hear a plethora of noises and felt an assortment…

On November 23, I went to see Washington Capitals play against Edmonton Oilers. I chose the event because never had the chance to watch a Hockey game. I have seen other sports like Football, Soccer, Tennis, and etc. These past events have some similarities between the emotions and fans they have. Also, I had a great time attending these games and learn the difference between the sports. I got no permission from nobody, and I decided for myself. The only person I ask is my friend Michael and some…

Gretzky is one of the greatest players to play hockey. His many hard to reach records like most goals in a season, gave him the name “The Great One” because of his outstanding skills.

INTRODUCTION I. “A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be” -Wayne Gretzky II. Greatness is rare. Greatness, no matter the subject, doesn’t come around all too often. Over time, we have seen many come and go that have embodied greatness, but none of them have anything on “The Great One”. III. Now I know that many of you don’t follow the NHL at all and that’s understandable. We hockey lovers are a rare breed in the United States…

in the Summit Series in 1972. Gilbert helped Team Canada receive a win in one of the greatest hockey series in my opinion. Gilbert set or equaled 20 team scoring records and when he retired in 1977, he trailed only one other right winger (Gordie Howe) in total points. Rod Gilbert was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1982. If I was there at that time and have the power to elect someone to the Hockey Hall of Fame, I would totally elect Rod Gilbert because he was one player who showed a lot…

Likewise, David Pastrnak wasn't even looking at the net when he sniped Cam Ward's water bottle. This time of year provides young players an opportunity in the NHL, and Chris Bigras and Zach Hyman took advantage of it to score their first NHL goals. Plenty of other…
