Goals are set so you can achieve them. But if you don’t set them what’s the point of life? If you set them too high you will never achieve them. So you have to be realistic. Realistic goals give you a meaning in what you are doing. After that goal is set, you work your butt off to achieve that goal, and that 's exactly what we did. It was March 1, 2012. We had just finished walking around the rink to get a sense of where everything was but most importantly where the judges were and what we…

This wasn’t just any ordinary game. My team, The Minnesota Junior Whitecaps, had been invited to play in the biggest hockey tournament of the summer. NAHA, or the North American Hockey Association, holds the NAHA Invitational in Burlington, Vermont over Labor Day every year. Every team hopes to take home the trophy, but individual players hope to leave their best impressions on the ice. What makes the NAHA Tournament so special is the amount of college coaches watching at every game. Every…

I would like to begin this letter by saying thank you very much for providing me with the Robert & Karin Moe Study Abroad Scholarship.

Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I grew up in a Wheaton, IL, a suburb outside of Chicago, where I attended Wheaton Warrenville South High School. During the summer of my junior…

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…

The game of Hockey is an extremely intense game, with bone crushing hits, 80 to 90 mile per hour frozen discs of vulcanized rubber flying in any direction, and, of course, the renowned fighting that has been celebrated for over a century. Through all of this, it’s hard to imagine Hockey helmets didn’t become mandatory for players to use in the NHL until 1979. Today, Helmets are by far the most important protective device used not only Hockey, but many other sports where the head is susceptible…

dashed out the car and grabbed my hockey bag. I ran into the rink thinking about the game. I was determined that I was going to score a goal because it was my first game I would be playing in. I was so nervous I was drenched in sweat scared like watching a horror movie at night. I was think about the game, and did not know what to expect. Thinking about all those times I was practicing shooting a puck in the driveway. Also practicing on the ice, watching hockey games on tv and going to them. Out…

No one seemed to notice my whole body shaking like an earthquake. It was 4:30pm, the group before me had just gone, and there were butterflies in my stomach. They were fluttering all around and I couldn't seem to get them out. With all of the girls nervously in one room waiting to tryout, I could feel the tension in the air. Knowing only 12 of the girls can make the team it made the experience more nerve wracking. My hands were shaky and sweaty. I needed to fast forward time and see what was…

The focus of my report is on the effect of age on NHL goalies, whether goalie increase their ability & competitive level with more experience compared to those who are younger. Recognizing different focuses (Games played, Games started, Wins & Loses, Save percentage, Goals against Averages) for two seperate groups of goalies (Goalies 25 & younger, as well as 26 & older). Although my main focus is on the effect of age on goalies, i’m as well comparing the effect of age on goalies versus players,…
