October Persuasive Speech

163 Words1 Page

Today I am honored to be standing here presenting the Conn Smythe trophy to my friend Duncan Keith. The Conn Smythe is awarded to the most valuable player during the Stanley Cup Playoffs. I first heard of this tremendous defensemen back in the 2009-10 season where he helped prevail the Chicago Blackhawks to their first Stanley Cup victory since 1961. It seems like Duncan never has a bad season and makes very few mistakes on the ice. The amount of time he puts into this game really shows his dedication and love for hockey. Getting the most playing time to lead the Blackhawks with nearly 30 minutes per game and he is always on top of his game whether it’s blocking shots or back checking. I believe he is possibly the best defensemen to ever play

  • Australia Day Persuasive Speech

    Australia Day is one of the most unique national day’s in the world throughout history, celebrating the day of when our ancestors first arrived on the borders of Australia, in 1788. Rather than unite people as one whole though, the spirited outcome of this event isn’t what as anticipated by everyone and has divided the Australian society for good. And so it should be held at an alternative date, where Australian citizens feel worthy of their identity and not cheated by it. However, the celebration shouldn’t be adapted to like that of other commemorations like ANZAC day. Essentially, this day will always be a tragic memory for the indigenous and be viewed as the invasion of their homeland.

    New hockey sticks are built lighter and stronger, with different types of flex, and new types of blades on the stick. This helps the player adapt and change the way they shoot and pass. New skates help immensely because they also become lighter and become better fitting, one can “bake” the skates or heat them up to have them conform to the player’s foot better, and they can even sharpen the blades to around nine different “cuts”. Having all these factors come together, I believe Ice Hockey is the best sport because it takes a very skilled and intelligent individual to play at a competitive level. It is a very fun sport to play and watch because of how the game is played, the flow of the game can change at any minute and the teams can choose when and what plays to create.
