Everything left on the Ice
Hockey players have fire in their hearts and ice in their veins. ~Author Unknown
Stepping on to the ice, the feeling of excitement, eagerness and nervousness. All you want to do is see the puck drop and go but there’s much more than that. First you must go through intense hard practices where you legs feel like nothing besides jello. Next comes the games where if your not playing smart or with passion for the game it’s all over.
Hockey, the game I love to play. At age 4, I could barely skate. My stick handling was a mess, being sloppy choppy and slow. But, with practice came improvement.
I enjoy playing hockey so much, being with the other 15 girls on the team and making friends, feeling the joy in achieving goals and eventually winning games. Listening and learning to what the coaches have to say becomes the only thing you can think about when you are under the pressure in the middle of a game, practice drill or tournament. Hockey has become pretty much become my life lately and I feel privileged to get to play this amazing sport and be a player for the Woolwich Wild Bantam B team.

ReplyDeleteI like how you started with a very descriptive paragraph at the beginning. It really intrigues the reader into reading more and I also liked how you used a link. Next time maybe add something at the end to make it more memorable, maybe a quote? Just something to make the readers think. Otherwise, great job! :)
