The hockey season has ended, but I still wish it were going
on. Hockey practice was a way for me to unwind after a hard day of school, or a
way to wake up my body during the morning practices. It well under my action
criteria for CASL, but CASL did not force me to do it. I play hockey because I
find it fun and exhilarating.
Last year, I did not have much playtime as I was still a
ninth grader and my skills were not too sharp. However, by the end of the
season last year I was ready to make the starting lineup this year. My goal was
reached and I started nearly every hockey match during the season. I was very
happy to have made it to the starting eleven, as last ear I barely had any
playtime.
The practices everyday were very hard on my schoolwork at
first. Getting home at six three days a week did take its toll for a few weeks
as I ran out of time when doing my homework and I didn’t want to stay up after
10 pm. By the time February came, I had gotten used to the system, so the late
days did not affect my homework as much. However, getting home at 6 pm did
exhaust me and I was very tired during the season as a result.
I enjoyed the hockey season in general. It was a fun pass
time that kept me fit. Unlike track and field, it was not tedious or boring, as
my team was aggressive and playing with them pushed me to the limit. With all
the playtime during matches I had, it was hard to not like playing with the
team, as I was a main part of it. I only wish that next year I would be able
play with the same people as one of the senior members of the team this time.
