Ice crystals

on the ice, watching hockey games on tv and going to them. Out of nowhere a friend grabbed me and brought me to the locker room. Of course me I got dressed the fastest and was waiting to go out on the ice. I looked out of the locker room and onto the ice and it looked like I was looking at a cold ice cream machine fogged up. Our coached gathered us in the locker room, and gave us a pep talk, and it was time to go out on the ice.…

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 ice cream that’s made in adversity is the most rare and tasty of all. If I was an ice cream flavor, I would be rocky road, a scrumptious chocolate ice cream mixed with marshmallows and nuts. Rocky road was invented during the Great Depression, a terrible disaster. Amidst all the hardship, rocky road emerged as an American favorite. At first glance, rocky road may resemble typical chocolate ice cream, just like I may seem like a normal girl. I’m a shy, quiet introvert who loves to read and…

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,…

The NHL lockout of 2012-2013 was caused by a disagreement of ideas creating a new collective bargaining agreement. Some people later have blamed the salary cap and coaches for the loss of an assumed 510 regular season games. In particular, the NHL salary cap is the sum of money any one team can spend on its players. The cap is set in stone for the year thus meaning there is no exceptions to the set amount. Some people think the salary cap should remain in place and control the league for…

They come equipped with memes comparing their hardy hockey heroes to those pansies…
