The sun sparkles on the newly fallen snow as Saturday arrives. Christy flies down the stairs waking us, forgetting to help Mark out of his crib. We can hear his cries as she excitedly pulls us out of bed. This is her day. It belongs to no one else, her first solo ice skating competition. Preparing for this all important day has taken a great deal of work. Able to walk a balance beam at two, Christy takes to ice skating as quickly as she walks a balance beam. Before long we are…

The sport of hockey has, for one reason or another, become an integral part of the Canadian identity. It is a cultural myth that Canadians are born with hockey sticks in their hands and a couple missing teeth. In fact, in 1994, hockey along with lacrosse was named the national sport of Canada. So it is no surprise that when the 1972 Summit Series between the USSR and Canada was set to be played, national identity was on the line. Therefore, this essay is going to analyze the iconic image that…

Walking into the cafeteria, Becca and Ashley sat down next to each other. “I have some Kleenex if you need more,” Ashley offered. “Thanks, but it’s really not that bad.” There weren’t many people in the cafeteria─ not compared to a Friday night when the hockey game packed the house. There were random groups of kids standing around talking or getting something to eat. And a few, like Becca and Ashley, were just hanging out at a table. The cafeteria smelled of hot chocolate and nachos. As Becca…

was my skill, or something along those lines. But then, the rumors were true, I was to go to the Kings to play hockey, because of budget. I didn’t like it, but it had to be done. I packed up my stuff, and made the long journey to LA, cross country trip, to settle with my new team. I didn't care that I was traded, but tons of fans didn’t like it. Anyway, I just wanted to have fun, and hockey was fun, no matter what team I was to play for. That year, I put up numbers only second to Lemieux,…

Before the end of the late spring, he had been decided for the group that would say/argue at the national wheelchair b-ball titles; the Link Autos won the national title, the first of three titles Fox would win with the group. Tired of the unforgiving Winnipeg winters, Rolly moved (starting with one place then onto the next) to Vancouver, English Columbia, in 1966. Not long after losing his right leg to growth, Fox chose to keep running crosswise over Canada to raise (thinking about…

So I decided I am going to change my topic to “Should the last three “strictly ski” resorts continue to be allowed to ban snowboarding”. So on that note, I am going to take the opposition to the claim that they should be allowed to ban snowboarding. Today, snowboarding can be enjoyed around the country, with a multiple of resorts nationwide which allow free rein for skiers and snowboarders alike. Although, unfortunately, there remain three resorts in this country who continue to discriminate…

The best day that happened in school was when the whole 8th grade went ice skating. This was the first trip that we were going to have for the 8th grade year. On this day, I was really excited to go ice skating but i was worried at the same time. We were waiting for the bus to come and then when it did come my friends and I sat in the back and we told jokes, some of us were on social media and the rest of us listened to music. When we arrived to the place, they took us upstairs so we…

Ice Skating And that’s how I broke my leg, just kidding, but I bruised it really badly, here’s the story behind that. was December 2014, my sister had discovered the “joy” of ice skating and was obsessed with it. She constantly asked my parents if her and her friends could go ice skating at the arena. I had never gone ice skating before and asked her one day if I could go with her and her friend Lucy. We got in the car to go pick up Lucy with the usual silence the whole ride. When we…

Impact of Technological Innovations in Canada During the beginning of Canada’s time, how do you consider it was to live without any of the machines and technologies that are available to us today? Was it easy to get through or was it very difficult to do things that we refer to as simple? Fortunately, owing to amazing Canadian inventors, many daily Canadian problems have been solved and Canada has been able to prosper as a great nation. This is shown when helpful inventions make our lives…
