drives more people apart than unifying them. The articles provided for this week’s critical reading focus on the way that hockey dictates and reinforces the hegemonic white ideals in Canada. Pride in one’s country is an admirable trait, however, when patriotism reaches an extreme it can become toxic to society. The danger of…

Lacrosse Lacrosse is a full body contact sport where you really only need to know three things, catching, cradling and passing. What You Need What you need to play lacrosse is a stick, shoulder pads, elbow pads, helmet, and gloves. The ball is a white ball made of a tough rubber. The stick is broken up into three parts. The head, which is the top, the shaft, is the metal pole in the middle, and the butt, which is a small rubber end at the bottom of the stick. The head has netting between each…

The Comeback “ Let's go boys!” I screamed as we raced out onto the ice. As we started our warmup drill before the most important game of our life I looked to the other side of the ice and saw the other team. “ Jeez,” I think to myself, they are definitely bigger, stronger, and faster. I shake it off as I hear the buzzer sound which means warm ups are over. We all bring it in to my coach and he says the same thing that he always does. All I care about is the game and once it starts I’m in the…

Happiness In desperate moments, time seems to drag on for eternities. The clock in the Detroit Lakes Hockey Arena did just that. It was the section final girls hockey game. We, the Storm’n Sabres, were playing the Roseau Rams for a chance to go to the Xcel Energy Center to participate State Hockey Tournament. Winning this game would mark the first time in history that the Storm’n Sabres Girl’s Hockey made it to the state tournament. The arena was old fashioned and looked like a barn from the…

I went into my next year of playing wanting to feel that same excitement I felt that final game. Sophomore year I was picked to try out goal because our JV goalie was now the varsity goalie. I agreed and at first I hated goalie I had to stay in a low position and block the balls from entering the goal. Not to mention the balls were the softest and I have the buries to prove their power. A few weeks later I actually started to enjoy being goalie when we had our first game I was so nervous because…

Time goes by so fast. Looking back, it feels like I was here just few days back, but it has already been a year and I am here in the United States. Before travelling to United States, I had never travelled anywhere outside my country. So, travelling far away from home to a new place in a different continent with a totally different culture was a very big step in my life. Having grown up in a same place for years, I always dreamt about studying abroad, going to new places, and learning about new…

“Sure bro, I’ll pick you up on Friday for Zumba!” Said Ruben. Little did I know that meeting Ruben would open doors to things that I have never seen before. Meeting him seven months ago at an Ice Skating Rink would change my life forever. Meeting him taught me both that I should branch out to meet new people, and that I should watch who I become friends with. The day I went to the Ice Rink, was a chilly one. Cloudy, cold, and just enough to make your nose run. I had on a long black coat with a…

skating after a long absense or lacing up skates on your children for the first time, there are ways you can avoid injury on the ice. When it's your first time skating, you should choose figure skates over hockey skates. The blades on figure skates are longer and provide more stability. Hockey skates have a shorter blade that's meant for stopping and turning quickly, which is something a beginner doesn't need to do. Make sure the skates are laced tightly to avoid injury. You'll notice that…

My biggest pet peeve is Hockey players that think they are better than figure skaters. The often seem to always look down on us like we’re not as important as they are. The first time I remember seeing it happening was just during practice hockey players would always come early and get in the way during skating rink time. Recently when hockey practice was before us, they stayed late and took some of our time on the ice. The rink has open skating and open hockey. There are never skaters their…
