Personal Narrative: My Personal Experience As A Hockey Player

Peter hides his phone and calls their principal while all this is happening. The strategy works however their principal doesn’t like the idea of students having her phone number. Feeling hopeless and out of options the boys go to Garvey for support, he tells them to fight without words, left confused and slightly angry Cole is not sure what to do. The next time the gang comes at them Cole decides to sit down because he figures that they wouldn’t fight people sitting down. Unfortunately the leader Keith doesn’t care and kicks Cole in the ribs.

In this instance the opposing team forced a turnover skated the puck into your zone set up a well practiced play, maybe a shot from the point using their forwards as a screen so you could not even see the puck, but as the puck sails into your net glooming looks of disappointment are being conveyed from your team, coach, and half the crowd. You may wonder why someone would want that type of pressure, and I will be the first to tell you that it is not for the faint of heart. Honestly however I love it. And you must love the pressure in order to play this position. But one thing I strongly believe is that no one straps on the pads and instantly loves the euphoric highs, and catastrophic lows that come with playing goalie.

The referees will come in whenever they think it is necessary, but that is usually when the players slip, or there is serious harm coming to one of the players. The hockey match does get stopped when there is a fight going on, and most of the times the sport announcers will hype the fight up telling the viewers each player’s name and what is going on in the fight. The game can be halted even longer though if the teams clear the benches and raid the rink. That does happen occasionally, but not too often. This would happen if a fight broke out and maybe someone gave another player on the opposing team a cheap shot and their team did not like it so

Some abilities that I behold are being able think deeply into in depth questions and I also can think in broad spectrum of thinking. I think what has helped me to excel in Critical thinking is by playing sports. Playing sports has always been part of my life and to this day it has helped me become a better man and also better student. Playing sports has taught me hard work, and even failure. After playing to the best of my ability I was cut from the hockey team that I had been apart of since its beginning. The cut took the wind out of my sail.

The Alumni game was a real blast from the past as it featured players who made the sports hottest rivalry from the late 90’s to the early 2000’s. While the Wings alumni team had issues getting a puck past Patrick Roy it was still fun to see the alumni game up close and personal as well as ending the night

Earlier in the novel, he stopped taking the pills that prevented the ‘Stirrings’, but later he felt angry at his friend Asher, who wanted him to play a war game, which all of the other children took as a joke. Jonas on the other hand, knows that war is something serious and deeply traumatizing because he has memories of it. Using his memories, he knows that war caused people a lot of pain and suffering. Jonas is allowed to feel emotions. Asher does not understand why Jonas is upset about the game.

He doesn’t think anymore, he doesn't care anymore. He's just trying to do his job. His foot was injured, and yet he completely forgot about the pain. This simile is used to impact readers, like myself, and to think about the situation more and understand what it was like and put ourselves in Wiesel’s shoes. The simile makes you think about how people were losing their humanity just because everything was so disciplined and uniformed.

Malcolm X desired to be a lawyer, but was shut down by his teacher because it was not a ‘reasonable’ career path for a African American. His change in behavior was noticed immediately as he described that class a “physical strain.” Taking away his passion, his learning, affect and infiltrated all aspects of his life. This love, though fractured for a little while, eventually resurfaced. While he did not become a lawyer, he did bring justice.

As I was heading down the steep hill, I crashed into my brother and we started descending down at least 20 feet, he got mad at me but I laughed it off because the both of us didn’t get hurt. I got up and starting gliding through the snow, it feels like I’ve never gone that fast on land. The wind was rushing past my face while I was sliding and turning. My experience snowboarding was one of the most fun things I’ve ever done.

The audience doesn't always realize this, as they cheer, boo, or rant. “The rules of the game help, step by step to assist us in these situations. There is always a warning before a technical, or personal foul, followed by an ejection.” He also went on to say,” I don't often use them, most players and fans calm down after the warning.” This goes into the the pressure put on them, meaning that it puts them on the spot to make a decision on what to do.

Michael lost track of time completely and soon did not even remember what the outside looked, for now, he only cared about surviving the beating and the questionings that were set up by the officials. He swore that he would never crack and so far he never did and just nodded his head. He knew how much he angered the officials and sometimes he believed that they called down the sergeant to terrify him but yet he is never

He constantly mentions the need to prove his capabilities to others. Junior is caught up in his own rage and ambition when he makes many of his choices. As mentioned, one of the most radical decisions Junior makes is when he decides to leave the reservation school to attend Reardan. It is important to note he is convinced to leave the reservation after his teacher tells him he should. Therefore in this particular example Junior demonstrates that his innocence and impressionability motivates him to go against his cultural norms in order to stay away from the pain and misery that he has seen people in Wellpinit drown under.

Did you know that 1.64 million people around the world play organized hockey? I really love being one of those 1.64 million people. I use hockey as a stress reliever, friendship maker and, a learning moment. Hockey has helped my life in so many positive ways, such as creating lifelong friendships. I love hockey.

It all came down to the second to last game of the hockey season. The playoffs started and we had made it onto the semi-finals. The whole team began to warm up for the biggest game of the season. Everyone knew the magnitude of the game and what had to get done in order to win.

“Coop, you’re up.” Championship game. This isn't the third period or overtime, shootout. Three people from each team get their chance at a breakaway, one on one against the goalie, and I was chosen. I had the tournament on my stick.
