Graduation Speech: How To Screw Up Hockey Tryouts

Congratulations newly minted hockey star! Now you have been selected to tryout for the best team around. Next comes the hard work and time you have to put into it. This is when most people give up because it's simply work, plus the drills and rules. There are many people that get invited to these kinds of tryouts all the time.
