hockey is life play hockey

ALL ABOUT THIS GIRL THAT LOVES HOCKEY SO MUCH. THIS GIRL LOVED HOCKEY EVRE SINCE SHE WAS LITTLE THAT WOULD BE ME.

DOES IT LOOK LIKE THIS GIRL IS BORN TO PLAY HOCKEY ?I THINK SO LOOK HOW CUTE SHE IS AT THE AGE OF 2. I THINK SHE WANTED TO BE JUST LIKE HER BIG BROTHER.

THIS IS HER BIG BROTHER AT THE AGE OF 6 ON HIS PRE NOVICE HOCKEY TEAM CALLED THE BLACKHAWKS.

MY BIG BROTHER

YES SHE DID PLAY HOCKEY. SHE REALLY LIKED IT. SHE PLAYED FOR TWO YEARS. THE FIRST YEAR SHE WAS THE ONLY GIRL ON HER TEAM BUT SHE DID NOT REALLY CARE. SHE JUST WANTED TO PLAY HOCKEY .THE FIRST YEAR SHE PLAYED ON AN INITIATION TEAM CALLED THE DUNLUCE DINOS.

THE LAST YEAR SHE PLAYED THERE WAS ONE OTHER GIRL ON THE TEAM IT WAS PRETTY COOL NOT BEING THE ONLY GIRL ON THE TEAM.THAT YEAR SHE PLAYED ON A NOVICE TEAM CALLED DUNLUCE DEVILS . SHE PLAYED GOALIE THAT YEAR AND LOVED IT EVEN MORE. THAT WAS THE LAST YEAR SHE PLAYED IT WAS WHEN SHE WAS IN GRADE 3 OR COULD OF BEEN 4 . FROM THIS DAY SHE IS STILL WONDERING WHY SHE STOPPED PLAYING AND STILL DOSE NOT KNOW WHY. FOR YEARS SHE WOULD WATCH HOCKEY ON TV WITH HER DAD AND NOT TILL THE YEARS OF 2006 T0 2008. WHEN SHE WATCHED HOCKEY SHE GOT THIS FEELING LIKE SHE HAD TO GO BACK AND PLAY AGAIN.

SHE LOVED WINTER CAUSE SHE KNOW IT WAS HOCKEY SEASON AND SHE COULD PLAY HOCKEY. THAT WAS THE BEST PART ABOUT WINTER. HER DAD WOULD BUILD A RINK IN THE BACK YARD MOST WINTER .THEY WOULD SPEND TIME OUT THERE AND EVEN HAVE FRIENDS COME OVER FOR A FAMILY AND FRIENDS HOCKEY GAME.

THIS GUY BECAME HER HERO AND HER INSPIRATION OF PLAYING HOCKEY AGAIN .HIS NAME IS TOBY PETERSEN SHE WAS WATCHING A HOCKEY GAME AND HE WAS TALKING ABOUT HIM HAVING DIABETES AND WEARING AN INSULIN PUMP. SHE SAID IF HE CAN PLAY HOCKEY WITH DIABETES THEN SO CAN SHE. BUT THE ONLY PROBLEM IS SHE HAS NOT PLAYED HOCKEY FOR A VERY LONG TIME. SHE DID NOT CARE THAT SHE HAD NOT PLAYED FOR A LONG TIME SHE WAS STILL GOING TO TRY OUT AND SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN. SHE REALLY HOPES SHE WILL MAKES A TEAM WHEN SHE MAKES A TEAM HER DREAM WILL FINLEY COME TRUE.

THE SUMMER OF 2008 WAS THE SUMMER THAT SHE WAS GOING TO GOT READY FOR THE HOCKEY SEASON. SHE HAD TO GET ALL NEW EQUIPMENT. SHE IS ONE STEP CLOSER TO HERE DREAM SHE GOT NEW GOALIE EQUIPMENT.WITH ALL THAT STUFF ON IT IS SURE NOT EASY TO WALK OR MOVE IN .SHEIS TRYING TO GET USE TO ALL THAT STUFF BYE WEARING IT AROUND THE HOUSE.

THAT IS MY MASK I REALLY WANTED TO GET A CANADA DESIGN BUT THEY DID NOT HAVE ONE THAT FIT ME. THIS WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT FIT ME SO I COULD NOT PICK FROM ANY OTHERS. I COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW SMALL MY HEAD WAS WHEN HE SAID THAT THIS ONE IS MEANT FOR AGES 6-7 YEARS OLD. I AM ANOTHER STEP CLOSER TO PLAYING HOCKEY I SIGNED UP NOW I AM JUST WATING FOR TRYOUTS THERE NOT TILL SEPTEMBER.

MY FAMILY RENTED A RINK TO SEE IF I CAN SKATE WITH ALL MY EQUIPMENT ON AND TAKE SHOTS ON ME I HAD A FUN TIME. YES I CAN SKATE WITH IT ALL ON BUT IT HARDER THEN JUST SKATING WITH NOTHING ON I CAN EVEN SKATE BACK WORDS WITH THAT STUFF ON I CAN SAVE SOME SHOTS BUT I LET SOME IN TO I NEED MORE PRATIC. IT TAKES A LOT OF WORK GET UP AND DOWN WITH ALL THAT STUFF ON IT MAKES YOU TIRED. I HOPE I CAN MAKE IT THROUGH THE TRYOUTS IT WILL BE A LOT OF WORK. YES I DID MAKE IT THROUGH TRYOUT THE 2 HOURS ONES WERE HARD AND I GOT VERY TIRED SOME TIMES I LEFT LIKE 5 OR 10 MINUITES BEFORE IT WAS OVER.

YES MY DREAM DID COME TRUE ON OCTOBER 2 , 2008 I FOUND OUT WHAT TEAM I WAS ON . WE NAMED OUR TEAM THE FLASH

I HAD THE GREATEST TEAM MATES YOU COULD EVER ASK FOR. THEY ALL WERE SUCH GOOD SPORTS ALL THROUGHOUT THE SEASON. I AM SO GLAD I COULD PLAY WITH SUCH A WONDERFUL BUNCH OF GIRLS ON MY FIRST YEAR OF RETURNING TO HOCKEY. I WISH WE COULD ALL PLAY TOGETHER NEXT YEAR BUT IT WAS ALOT OF YOUR GUYS LAST YEAR. MAYBE SOME OF US WILL BE ON THE SAME TEAM NEXT YEAR. WE HAD SUCH A GOOD TIME TOGETHER. I CAN REMEMBER ALL THE FUN TIMES WE HAD TOGETHER. I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU GUYS YOU WERE THE BEST TEAM MATES I HAVE EVER HAD. I WILL MISS YOU ALL.

SOME OF THE GREAT TIMES I HAD WITH MY HOCKEY TEAM. I REMEMBER THE FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON. WE WERE GOING TO PLAY HALF AND HALF ME AND THE OTHER GOALIE. I WAS PLAYING THE SECOND HALF. WHEN I WAS IN THE NET I LET IN GOAL AFTER GOAL AND SAVED VERY LITTLE. YOU GUYS WERE SO GREAT TO ME COMING OVER TO ME AND GIVING ME A PAT ON THE PADS AND SAYING IT WAS OK AND WE WILL GET IT BACK AND ALL THE OTHER THINGS YOU SAID MADE ME FILL LIKE I WAS ON A WONDERFUL TEAM. THAT GAME I DID NOT EVEN GET TO PLAY A WHOLE PERIOD MORE LIKE 5 OR 10 MINUTES. I GOT PULLED OUT THAT IS MY COACH. MY COACH IS A WHOLE OTHER STORY.

I ALSO REMEMBER THE FIRST TOURNAMENT WE WENT ON IN LLOYDMINSTER THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN THAT WEEKEND. OUR FIRST GAME WAS ON FRIDAY MY BIRTHDAY EVERYONE SONG HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME. I GOT TO START THAT GAME I PLAYED MOST OF THE GAME BUT THE LAST PERIOD CAUSE MY BLOOD SUGAR WAS REALY HIGH SO I DECIDED TO SIT THE THIRD OUT. WHEN WE WENT TO THE MALL AND GOT IN TROUBLE FOR BEING ON THE MARRY GO ROUND CAUSE WE ALL PILLED ALL ON IT. WHEN STEPHANIE BOUGHT THAT BALL WITH THE FACE THAT BECAME OUR MASCOT WE NAMED IT MONTY. ALSO WHEN WE MADE THEM T SHIRTS THAT TURNED OUT VERY WELL AND CREATIVE AND WHEN PATRICIA COULD NOT GET THE YELLOW PAINT TO COME OUT SO SHE SHACKED IT AND SQUEEZED IT AND IT GOT ON THE HOTEL WALL. ANOTHER THING WAS WHEN KRISTY . S LEAFT HER SHOES IN SOME ONES HOTEL ROOM AND HAD TO WEAR HER DADS SHOES TO THE NEXT GAME. ALSO THE SECOND TOURNAMENT WHEN DANIELLE AND PATRICIA BROKE THE BED FROM JUMPING ON IT. THE ONE THING I CAN NEVER FORGET IS WHEN KRISTY . R AND KELLY AND SOME OF THE PARENTS AND WHO EVER ELSE STOOD TO THE COACH ABOUT ME PLAYING AND WHY I AM ALWAYS SITING ON THE BENCH. AFTER THAT GAME I FINLY GOT TO PLAY SOME FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON EVEN THOUGH THE SEASON WAS MORE THEN HALF OVER. I CAN'T THANK YOU GUYS ENOUGH FOR DOING THAT FOR ME.

MY COACH RANDY. I THINK ALL HE CARED ABOUT WAS WINING. HE WAS ALWAYS THE FIRST ONE TO LEAVE THE RINK BUT IF WE WON HE WOULD STAY LONGER. MY PARENTS TOLD HIM THAT HE HAS TO LET US KNOW WHEN I AM GOING TO PLAY CAUSE I HAVE TO RUN A TEMP BASAL RATE OR HAVE SOMETHING TO EAT AND CHECK MY BLOOD SUGAR. HE WAS NOT GOOD AT THAT IT BECAME A GUESSING GAME CAUSE HE WOULD ALWAYS SAY IT DEPENDS ON HOW THE GAME GOES . WHEN MY PARENTS ASKED IF I WAS GOING TO PLAY.I DO NOT KNOW IF HE WAS AFRAID TO PLAY ME CAUSE OF MY DIABETES OR THAT I WAS NOT THAT GOOD AND ALL HE WANTED TO DO WAS WIN EVEN THOU WE STILL DID NOT WIN WHEN I DID NOT PLAY.

I SAT ON THE BENCH GAME AFTER GAME FOR MORE THEN HALF THE SEASON. I ALWAYS WONDERED WHEN I WAS GOING TO PLAY. I NEVER WANTED TO MISS A GAME CAUSE I KEEP BELIVING THE NEXT GAME I WOULD GET TO PLAY. SOMETIMES I GOT SO MAD CAUSE I WAS SO TIRED OF SITTING ON THE BENCH ALL THE TIME. I COULD OF BLOW UP SOME OF THEM TIMES. SOMETIMES I THOUGHT ABOUT WHY KEEP COMING IF ALL I AM GOING TO DO IS SIT ON THE BENCH. I KEEP COMING BACK CAUSE I LOVE HOCKEY SO MUCH. IF I DID NOT HAVE THAT MUCH LOVE FOR HOCKEY I WOULD OF STOPED COMING. MOST OF THE TIME I COULDN'T WATE FOR PRACTICES BECAUSE I KNOW I WOULD GET TO PLAY AND BE ON THE ICE. I REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME I MISS PRACTICE I WAS SO MAD CAUSE I ONLY GET TO PLAY AT PRACTICES AND I DID NOT WANT TO MISS ANY ONE. I THINK I ONLY GOT TO PLAY ONE WHOLE GAME THAT SEASON CAUSE THE OTHER GOALIE WAS NOT GOING TO BE THERE. IN MINOR HOCKEY WEEK I WAS SO HAPPY CAUSE I KNOW I WAS GOING TO GET TO PLAY CAUSE EVERYONE HAS TO PLAY. I ONLY GOT TO PLAY ONE PERIOD BUT IT WAS BETTER THEN NONE. AFTER THAT ONE GAME THAT EVERYONE STOOD UP TO THE COACH FOR ME. I GOT TO PLAY ONE PERIOD BUT WE WENT 10 MINUTES OF THE FIRST AND 10 OF THE SECOND AND SHE WOULD PLAY THE THIRD. I LIKED IT THAT WHY BUT I DO NOT KNOW WHY WE DID NOT DO THAT IN THE THIRD TO. I REMEMBER ALL THE TIME MY GRNDPARENTS CAME TO SEE ME PLAY BUT I NEVER PLAYED WHEN THEY CAME BUT JUST ONES MY GRANDPA CAME AND GOT TO SEE ME PLAY. THAT GAME I HAD A REALY GOOD GAME I DID NOT LET IN ANY GOALS. I WAS SO HAPPY AND PROUD OF MYSELF.

THE ONE THING THAT PISSED ME OFF THE MOST WAS THE LAST GAME OF THE LAST TOURNAMENT WE HAD.I GOT TO PLAY IN ALL THE GAMES BUT THE LAST ONE. AFTER THAT GAME I WAS SO MAD I GOT UNDRESS AS FAST AS I COULD I THINK I WAS THE FIRST ONE TO LEAVE THE DRESSING ROOM. WE WERE HAVING CORN DOGS AFTER THE GAME BUT I DID NOT CARE I DID NOT STAY. I JUST WANTED TO GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE. I REALY THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING BACK TO HOW IT WAS IN THE BEGING OF THE YEAR WITH ME SITTING ON THE BENCH. ALSO THE LAST GAME OF THE YEAR I HAD A FILLING THAT I WAS NOT GOING TO GET TO PLAY MAN I WAS RIGHT. I DID NOT GET TO PLAY I KNOW THE LAST GAME WAS GOING TO END JUST LIKE THE BEGING OF THE YEAR. MY COACH PROVED TO ME ALL HE CARED ABOUT WAS WINING NOT AS BEING A TEAM.

I DO NOT KNOW IF I AM GOING TO PLAY NEXT YEAR . I PROBLEY WILL BUT I HOPE THAT I WILL HAVE A WHY BETTER YEAR THEN WHAT I HAD THIS YEAR.
