underestimate the awesomeness of the octopus. Octopuses are magnificent sea creatures living all around the world. Containing over 300 species! The word Octopus is from the Greek language meaning eight-legged. They are boneless creatures, also known as invertebrates. Octopuses are interesting in several ways.

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…

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.

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.

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…
