There is the local college team, the Wildcats, but aside from that you have to drive through the middle of a scorching desert to get to the nearest city with an ice rink. And then of course there is me. Hockey is a big hobby of mine, and sadly I was unfortunate enough to grow up in the middle of a desert where hockey is not a big part of the culture. But that wasn’t going to stop me. My goal was to get…

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…

She peered through the glass wall, out to the ice, and quickly forgot about her frozen extremities. Ashley’s coach stood scrutinizing her as she sped across the ice, jumped high in the air, spun around into a blur of beautiful colors and…

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…

happening because there are kids watching therefore exposing them to violence.

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…
