Everyone was yelling. It was as loud as gunshots. The time was slowly ticking away. The first minute of the period had passed and it felt like an eternity. With about eight minutes left in regulation, Owen got the puck off of the boards and shot it. Goal!!! He had given us the lead with about eight minutes left. From there, it was just all defense. I really didn't play that much at the end, but I felt as I was out there skating with my team. The final buzzer goes off. We all rush onto the ice. We all celebrate. We all also so Mr. Berg doing snow angels on the ice. That was pretty funny to see. Final Score 2-1. As we all celebrate in the locker room, we notice that our team song, Red Solo Cup by Toby Keith is blaring around the locker room. Mr. Plowman walks into the locker room with red plastic cups and sparkling grape juice. It was a great fifteen minutes. This event in my life is really important to me because I was the real underdog. I didn't score a goal all season up until that point. Nobody would have thought a third liner would have tied the game against the best team in our district. That was the real turn-around point my life. This story stays in my memory because it was the most exciting time in my life.…
As convenient as it would be to meet in the middle on this issue, this would prove to be more difficult than it seems. Some have suggested that UAFS take a page out of UA Fayetteville’s playbook and institute the red solo cup rule, which is an unspoken but widely know policy where students of all ages are allowed to carry red solo cups around campus without being investigated by the campus police. Although this seems to work at UofA, the smaller size of UAFS could get them into some serious…
it dissolves. The context of the problem is the time it dissolves to have the medicine show its effect. This problem exist in real life as people take alka seltzer to relief heartburn, acid digestion and stomach aches. This experiment would benefit society because it informs the society the better way of consuming medicine or alka seltzer in order to see faster effect in the body. Aim: To investigate the breaking of the alka seltzer into larger surface area (½ and ¼) affects the time it…
Pond Hockey and Civic Duty Whether at a stadium with referees and organized periods, or a pick up game with friends on the pond behind my house, I have always enjoyed hockey. However, each of these two styles of play is quite different. A good example of this is when the goalie covers the puck by their goal. In professional hockey, the players are always taught that until the referee blows the whistle, they are to jab their stick at the goalie and his glove in an attempt to knock the puck…
Philadelphia Flyers Road Trip Starts. The Philadelphia Flyers are entering their biggest road trip of this season, starting off in Buffalo Tuesday night followed by a trip into Canada Thursday facing a young Toronto Maple Leafs squad before heading to the Boston Gardens. If ever a road trip offered the Flyers a unique opportunity to make up ground in the wild card standings, it's this upcoming three-game road trip to Buffalo, Toronto and Boston which begins Tuesday night at the Sabres. …
In rebuttal to the argument that fighting is unsafe, this category of people argues that fighting actually prevents dangerous plays like spearing, charging, high-sticking, and slashing to name a few. Through fighting, enforcers protect star players from being injured or from taking cheap shots from the opposition. For example, knowing that a player like Dave Semenko would be ready to fight kept opposing players from taking liberties against the Edmonton Oilers’ superstar Wayne Gretzky, one of…
Shunterrance Walton Mrs. Harper Comp. 1 23 Sept. 2016 A Double Life The double sports life is probably one of the best things to happen in high school. What is better than playing two of the most exciting sports in the school? Well, having those two sports at two different off seasons would be the best. More than likely, with me having an offseason is unimaginable. Playing two sports is not as miserable unless they carry on over to the next one. Do not get me wrong, I love basketball and…
("Mario Lemieux Facts.")In the 1984 National Hockey League amateur entry draft, Lemieux was the first pick overall, chosen by the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Despite the prognosis, Lemieux hoped to return to the team that season, within ten weeks.The team then won 15 straight games. In April, Lemieux scored five goals in one…
This is amazing, this is why I am called the Great One, because of this. I want to say that Gordie Howe is still better than me, because he did it before me, so I believe that he is better than me. Crosby, on the other hand, being called the “Next Great One,” seems right. In his high 20’s, when I got my records. His life seems like mine, getting into the NHL early, and becoming a star right away. Making records, being just plain out great at this sport, I look at him, and think, am I his role…
“You miss one hundred percent of the shots you don’t take!”- Wayne Gretzky. This was one of Wayne Gretzky’s amazing quotes, and will be passed on forever, and . He is a big inspiration to me. Wayne Gretzky, also known as “The Great One,” was and still is “the greatest ice hockey player ever.” When he was 13 he had more than 1,000 goals scored. As he got older and older he won more and more trophies, scored tons of goals, and broke a lot of records. After he retired he held 61 NHL records, and…
