I then walked over to the 4 foot 8-inch frame of Scott and punched him right in the jaw. He flopped to the ground harder than Daniel getting checked in AE hockey. My shirt sleeves had ripped off at this point from my massive muscles flexing with that hard punch. Scott slowly got up to his feet but was more disoriented than a blind three legged dog. Once he finally got it together he started screaming like a middle-aged woman at her son's house league soccer game. He then came right up to me and…

Everyone loves overtime. There is nothing better or more entertaining than watching two teams battle it out and go into extra time to decide the victor. However I believe that there is some serious room for improvement for overtime rules in some of the major sports leagues in the United States. In my opinion, the NFL, MLS, and MLB all have flawed overtime rules that don’t properly determine winners, and I offer changes that I believe will help even the playing field and more accurately determine…

Joshua Schneider Nina Evarkiou Writing 110, Section 3 30 January 2018 Riding the Rails Skateboarding, a diverse extreme sport, is a fun and exhilarating activity if done properly. Among all the various sports and activities that Western culture houses I find skateboarding the most enjoyable due to its freedom of expression and self; however, it also lends itself to be one of the most dangerous sports in the world with 150,000 injuries a year. In this process essay, I will teach you the…

the rink for hockey practice or so I thought. Instead I was waiting to be called into a room. Little did I know I was about to hear those three dreaded words, the words no person ever wants to hear ‘You have cancer’. Everything around me stopped for a brief second while I sat trying to comprehend what was happening. My mother was crying, the doctor was talking and I just sat, unsure of how to react. I knew from that moment on I was about to face the biggest fight of my life. Hockey is and…

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…

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 the ice. The Jr. Lakers had recently beat us just two days ago. Then we had hit the ice. After we had finished with our on-ice warm ups, the puck drops and the…

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…

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…
