...Hockey has become a more expensive sport to play over the last years, and families can barely afford to keep their children in hockey anymore. People wonder why this is but there is a logical reason behind it. New technologies to improve the equipment have been invented, inflation on other things such as utilities, gas, food and salaries is the main reason for this problem. It has come to the point that families discourage their children to play ice hockey in favor of other, cheaper, sports. To buy new skates, a family is looking to invest between $500.00-$950.00 dollars, depending on the quality. Other popular sports that competes with hockey for practitioners have an massive advantage by being so much cheaper. This is a massive problem, and it has led to talented youngsters having to quit the sport they love because of their family’s financial situation. By doing research and comparing different options there might be a solution to...

...Common Wealth Essay: Girl power or Boy power ! The way I figured it out, everyone has the same point of view about girls. Like, how we jump into conclusion too quickly when we see our boyfriend talk to another girl, that we gaze at ourselves in the mirror at every opportunity we get, that it takes us an eternity to decide between the soup or salad or that we don’t understand why the quarter back is running one way when we are watching hockey. I have to admit that most of it is true but not all girls are like that. My point being that people can surprise you, well girls can. This isn’t another story about a regular girl trying to prove a point by joining the boy’s soccer team; this is a story about my life. I always had a deep passion for hockey. When I was younger I remember sitting next to my father and watching the sweat drip off his face as he jumped off the couch yelling at the TV. I would just stare and follow at the little black dot on the screen launch itself into the net and smile at the hockey players celebrating their victory head bumping each other. Whenever hockey was on TV, whether the Habs lost or won there was always a bond between the people watching. It was something people did together. Ever since then I wanted to play hockey and make people feel the way I felt when I was younger. That I would be creating a union between people. But I never had the courage or the guts to join a team because I was always told that girls are no good at sports...

...from the sentence structure worksheets. Sentence structure is important because it can make your ideas sound better and well thought out. Additionally, the way you write leaves an impression on the reader. For example, if I had bad grammar all throughout this paragraph, what would you think of me? This is why I believe sentence structure is important. In this essay, I will explain what parts of the worksheet were particularly important, what parts I found difficult and what I can do to improve my sentences. The most important parts of the worksheet to me was commas and the semi colon. I have been taught some rough rules on when to use commas. Though, these are very lenient rules. It was good to brush up on these rules and tricks. For example, knowing words that you always put a comma in front of like but and yet. Last year I used way too many commas so this exercise was a great refresher. Secondly, I have never been taught in much about when to use a semicolon. I learn’t that the semicolon is lighter than a period but heavier than a comma. The semicolon can be used to list off things. For example, before I play hockey I do 3 things: one, visualize; two, stickhandle in the backyard; three, eat a big meal. In conclusion, I learn’t more about types of punctuation....

...An essay – as seen through the eyes of a graduating High School senior, on how his ice hockey experiences have been of value to his life. By Max Frankel Sometimes you come across a quote that is so timeless, that is continues to speak out era after era, for generations. As Charles Dickens’ once said, most-likely commenting on his own personal life, in, “A Tale of Two Cities. ‘It was the best of times and it was the worst of times.’ Although my ordinary life may not really compare to that of the famous author, I understand what he was saying and feel compelled to draw the comparison. To this point, I have had a life that I have thoroughly enjoyed yet I too, have had my share of difficult lessons learned. As with all people, my early, formative years have contributed many, many factors that shaped the child into a young adult. However, only a very select few, really stand out. For me, the “stand outs” have been ice hockey, my mentality in school, and my parents’ influence on my life. Maybe not necessarily in that order, but, the line is blurred, between where one influence begins and the next one picks up. What I do know, is that alone, these three components are neither life changing nor rare, but together, they accumulate to form who I am today. From a young age, my parents had engrained the idea of hard work into my mind. They preached that school was my priority, my full time job, and that “any job worth doing was worth doing right.” Even as a very small...

...The story “The Hockey Sweater” by Roch Carrier shows how important society is and how cultural in communities can be harmful. In the small rural town in Quebec, Canada all the children are so close they “all wore the same uniform” (118). They all acted and looked the same, they had the same hero and all wanted to grow up to be just like him. However because of how similar everyone was they did not accept change or different ideas. Roch wore his blue sweater and went to play hockey but “by the third period he still hadn’t played” (120). He was out casted and isolated from everyone just because of a blue sweater. There was not a lot of outside influence which caused them to put all their energy in one thing. It allowed them to be extremely close...

...| Chak De India Essay Arshia R. Mehta | Due to the tragedy that took place right after the India vs. Pakistan hockey match Against Kabir Khan (SRK), he transformed into a different person and saw the world with unfamiliar eyes. He was humiliated and was named as a double dealer by the people of his own country. He could not bare this mortification and dishonor so he decided to gain his and his country's respect back in the eyes of the world. Khan had to leave his own home due to the lack of acceptance of his presence in his surroundings. He, who was solely devoted to his team, was accused of a spiteful deed which he could not agree to. Khan could not bare the weight of the crime longer than 7 years and decided to coach the women’s hockey team for it to make it to the world cup. He came across various players from all over India, some of which who could not even match the mother tongue of India.

Despite knowing the roughness of the task, Khan took it up as a challenge and proved himself. Khan opted for the path of team work and unity to form such an organized...

...Walking down the street in the summer was the best feeling. Chris and John loved being free and not having to worry about school. Every summer John and Chris would play roller hockey at the rink. They would wake up at 12:00 play hockey and have lunch then go home and rest for the night to come. Every night was the same, hanging out by the fire with all of their friends and some girls. The town never had anything to do anyways. Chris just built the fire pit he sat down and opened a bud light. With his feet up he drank 3 beers in 15 min. he wasn’t the skinniest of kids on the hockey team but he was still one of the best. His weight helped him rough people up. Chris loved to drink beers with the team after the games and then call up all of his girls. For some reason they couldn’t resist him even though he wasn’t the skinniest on the team. He was seen as a bruiser. Everyone thought of him as the kid who put someone through the glass. Everyone knew of that time he got with 8 girls in one night one after another. He had a lot of friends because he was fun to be around. At lunch he is always sitting with a large group of people. When Chris was younger he would always get teased for being fat. When he got older he got skinnier and worked out. His parents were strict so when he got the chance to go out and drink he took advantage of it. There was that one day, John was on Facebook and got invited to some large party in the center of town. They were curious to what it could be since...

...Sports have played a major part in my life. They mean so much to me because they have given me the chance to build relationships with teammates and competitors. Playing sports made me realize that win or lose, if I had worked my hardest I was happy with myself. I like to play sports because they give me time to focus on training, which relieves stress and keeps me fit. I like to play soccer and ice hockey because I learn to work with a team. Individual sports such as track and dancing have given me the confidence to perform successfully in front of people. I have benefited by playing many different sports. In soccer, I understood that the harder I worked the better I got. In ice hockey it was a very different understanding. My hockey team was the first girls team to be formed in the Winslow area, and the team started with kids who could barely skate. With positive attitudes from both the coaches and the players, we built the team up for a successful winning season. The winning wasn't only against other teams but also within ourselves because we had the positive attitudes to get where we were. School work is especially important during sports seasons. Keeping up my grades is important to me. Playing sports and having good grades make me happy because I feel that if I can succeed in both school and athletics, I can also have a successful future. My family is another key factor in my sports success since they have always supported me in every type of sports and activity. If...
