Personal Narrative: Playing Ice Hockey

934 Words4 Pages

I have been playing Ice Hockey for 12 years now, and I have loved every second of it. Well, almost every second, I’m kind of a sore loser. However, I still love the game. I love how in a game, one play can change the entire atmosphere of the game, whether its a goal that lights up the crowd, a hit that keeps the glass shaking, or a bad call by the ref that has the entire arena booing at the guy in stripes. But most of all, I love how the game has a way of comforting those who play it, like me.

The game has a way of taking away the pains of the outside world. For the entirety of my time on the ice, I’m not thinking about that big test I have coming up 3rd period the next day, I’m not thinking about the huge cliffhanger that season 4 of The 100 left me on. All I’m thinking about is the game, and what I need to do to help my band of brothers succeed. …show more content…

Being on the ice, whether it was in a game, a practice, or just playing for fun and working on some skills, gave me a sense of

  • Personal Statement: Hartland Varsity Hockey

    I will never forget what it was like in the locker room before our biggest games. We would get dressed in the locker room while listening to our pregame playlist, then our coach would come in and give his pregame speech, we would then do our unique “Oh Mama” pregame chant, finally to run onto the ice in a rink packed of dedicated fans anticipating the experience of the Hartland Hockey culture. As special as the pregames were, the postgames were even more special. In my two years on the team, we never lost a game at home, hence a lot of celebrating. After a big win, there was always a distinct electric feeling as we came back in the locker room that I’ve never felt elsewhere.

  • Satire Argument's Hockey

    882 Words  | 4 Pages

    Fighting is an archaic, barbaric tactic that not only does more harm than good, but no longer serves a purpose in today’s NHL. This is according to Noah Bonner, author of How to solve the NHL’s fighting (and concussion) problem. He tries to sway modern fans of the game by using a witty, ironic, satirical argument that insists fighting is still in intrical part of the game. He argues not only that any connections between fighting and head-related injuries are a hoax, but that the NHL should, in fact, crank the violence back up to the levels it was before. Bonner begins to use satire from the start, using an ironic tone to describe what’s wrong with the NHL.
