The clock ticked down, fast up on the jumbotron as the pace of the game gets faster and quicker. Both teams screaming, shouting, cheering, and encouraging at each other, eager to advance to the next round. The game gets more physical, and players are banging the other team’s players to the boards. Coaches are yelling to give us more confidence. This is the first round of the Quebec Peewee Hockey Tournament.

Ok, let me go back to the beginning and explain this whole thing of what's happening. I was on this team called, “Hershey Quebec Team.” The team is very special and in February, the team goes to the biggest hockey tournament in the world called “ Quebec Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament,” which is held in Quebec. On February 10th, 2017 …show more content…
I was first to go out on the ice. And, when the puck dropped, all my nervous feelings were loose and gone. We felt very confident and so as the other team. After couple shifts in first period, the other team scored. It felt very heavy and gave us a big pressure. So the score after the first period was 1-0. We went back to coaches to talk about their weaknesses ,and how we can use that to win the game. The puck dropped and second period began. Because of the confidence we had to win the game, we were pressuring them pretty good by the number of shots and defensive plays. Finally, at the 5 minute mark, I had a big chance.

I was up next for the Hershey. It would be really good advantage if I score to push the pressure away from my team. Crowd is roaring eager to see me score. The whistle blew and I went. I skated right then came back and shot it. Bing! My shot rang off the crossbar. I was in disbelief. “What would I do if we lost because of my shot?” I thought to myself as I skated back to the bench. Other team’s third shooter had a chance to win the game but was denied by a glove save by our goalie. The Hershey’s next shooter came down from the right side and fired a low hard shot through the five-hole for the tying shootout goal, keeping the Hershey alive! At this moment, I knew this would take a while to
