The past six years, the Rochester girls golf team has made it to State and has finished in either 2nd or 3rd place. There has not been a team in the school history to ever win the team title for girls golf. Coach Hill, Coach Mayer, Morgan Savage, Gabby Isaacks, myself and Lindsay Alewelt would tackle Red Tail Run on a cold, windy course to beat the odds given to us on October 16th and 17th. Through trust, hard work, motivation, and a little luck, the 2015 Rochester girls golf team defeated their…

When I was about ten years old I went to Salt Lake City, Utah for an all-state hockey tournament. I had never traveled out of the state for hockey in my entire life, even though I had been playing since I was three years old. While my dad and I were driving from Meeteetse, Wyoming, my home town where I have lived since I was about a year old, we approached a windmill farm between Rock Springs, Wyoming and Salt Lake City. I immediately was fascinated with the windmills and wanted to know how they…

HI, I am going to tell you all about my roller hockey, One day at 7:00 in the morning i had a roller hockey game i got dressed and it was the start of the game my team scored and then we it was a one nothing game and then we got another one on the board and then it was the buzzer and then i went to the bench and then i got back in the net and the whistle was blown and the puck was dropped and the 2nd period was on its way but then the worst thing in the world just happened they scored and then…

The stage was set. The locker room was quieter than mice. Everyone was preparing for, perhaps the biggest game of their lives. Before the game, my team and I had recently watched the movie, The Miracle on Ice. We were inspired. From there, our coach had read the lines for the current game. My name wasn’t said until the end. I thought to myself “Oh great, hardly any playing time again”. Me and my teammate Kyle, glanced at each other and watched the opposing team, the Soo Jr. Lakers step onto…

these lessons. I grew up as one of these kids, I have played a wide range of sports, consisting of baseball, soccer, hockey, and swimming. Each one of these sports has taught me lessons I could not have gotten anywhere else, but the most significant lessons I have learned, are from hockey. These lessons consist of teamwork, responsibility, and respect. I first started playing hockey when I was eight years old. The season had already started, so I had joined in the middle. The first time I…

On April 27th, I went to a lacrosse game over at the Hilbert College. It is a home game, unfortunately, because Immaculata does not have enough space, we had to pay the game at Hilbert’s sports field. We played against St. Mary. We lost the game by a lot of points. The score was 8 to 16. Lacrosse has its origins in a tribal game played by eastern Woodlands Native Americans and by some Plains Indians tribes in what is now Canada. The game was extensively modified by European immigrants to…

I've asked myself which sport is better, Soccer or Hockey? Which sport deserves all the attention? Both sports are very popular around the world. Soccer has about 4 billion fans, which makes it the most popular sport in the world. Hockey has around 2 billion fans. Soccer has been around for over 2,000 years and Hockey has been around since 1875. Physically, soccer requires players to have a lot of body strength and high levels of fitness because a soccer game entails many kilometers of running…

Caption: Looking beyond this hockey puck, this Canadian icon represents my interpretations of self, both on a personal level and as a Canadian citizen. This puck has formed international bonds between countries across the globe. Its heritage symbolizes the acceptance of everyone regardless of their nationality, race, culture or religion. Growing up playing hockey from a young age, this puck has shown me that objectives in life are not always easy to obtain, sometimes you have to dig in the…

I come from a figure skating background. From a very young age, most of my time was spent at the rink. Growing up, I undoubtedly spent more waking hours with my skating coach than with my own mother. This cold damp place was home. It is where I trained, ate, did school, socialized, laughed, cried, and even took the odd nap. It was as familiar as my favourite pair of lucky socks (yes, us figure skaters are very superstitious). I knew the best hiding spots, for when I needed time alone or…

“Apply all of your corrections, think about everything we have practiced, and have fun! Put your minds to what it is you want to accomplish.” These were the words of my synchronized skating coach before we took to the ice at Nationals. In February 2014, my team and I competed at the U.S. Synchronized Skating Championships in Colorado Springs, Colorado. We had a great season leading up to this point, medaling at all but one competition and only missing that one by about half a point. This was…
