Hockey Descriptive Writing
Chills running up my spine, rapid foggy breathes expelling in front of me like a car on a cold morning. The clock running down second by second with green illumination, it said we only played 4 periods of hockey, but truly we played 6 with triple overtime. I feel exhausted and wonder how much more I can give without collapsing. I grab my water bottle and begin to drink, and the distinct taste of iron from the water in the iron range rolls down my throat. Suddenly one of our players starts with full steam down the ice and his linemates followed, their strides looked simultaneous. Boisterous sounds of my teammates yelling and the sound of the half inch blades digging into the ice echoed through the small arena. The puck carrier begins to ride

    The Forum is disturbingly empty: just a few players sit quietly cocooned away in a dressing room; twenty-five or thirty staff work in distant upstairs offices; throughout the rest of its vast insides a few dozen men are busy washing, painting, fixing, tidying things up. There is one other person. Entering the corridor to the dressing room, I hear muffed, reverberating sounds from the ice, and before I can see who it is, I know it's Lafleur. Like a kid on a backyard rink, he skates by himself many minutes before anyone joins him, shooting pucks easily off the boards, watching them rebound, moving skates and gloved hands wherever his inventive instincts direct them to go. Here, far from the expedience of a game, away from defenders and linemates who shackle him to their banal predictability, alone with his virtuoso skills, it is his time to create.…

    Now it was time for the game to start. It was Crosbys first game in the pros, and all he wanted to do was play good and score a goal. Five minutes into the game,Crosby surprised the whole worlds by scoring a goal. Crosby had never been more happy in his life. Crosby was skating around and next thing he knew he was laying on the ice because he had got body checked. He looked at who it was that hit him and it was Shady McCoy. Sidney was so confused, because he didn’t know that he was going against his little league enemy Shady McCoy. Not only were they little league enemies but they would also become enemies now too. These teams would meet again many more times during the lengthy season.…

    The Stanley Cup is a trophy that is awarded annually to the NHL ( National Hockey League ) playoff champions. Unlike other major sports trophies like such as in football and soccer, the Stanley Cup is not remade each year and winners of the cup keep it until a new champion is crowned. Something also unique to the cup is that it has the names of all winning players, coaches and management engraved on it. The current cup is made of silver and nickel alloy and is roughly 90 centimetres high and weighs about 15 kilograms.…

    ESPN states that Todd Fedoruk was taken off the ice on a stretcher after a fight with Colton Orr during a game between the Philadelphia Flyers and New York Rangers. The fight, which took place just 21 seconds into the game, ended when Orr “landed a hard, overhand right.” on Fedoruk who immediately fell backward, unconscious. Philadelphia’s team doctors immediately ran onto the ice to help Fedoruk who earlier this season missed eighteen games after “major facial surgery” from another fight (Philadelphia). Injuries like this have made many people take a deeper look into fighting. Players are getting bigger and stronger, which has resulted in an increase in the number of injuries during the 2007 NHL season. Fighting is also giving hockey a bad image to some, which is turning away potential sponsors and fans. However, fighting in hockey has tolerated since day one. It is also an aspect to the game that draws many people to the game and can also be used as a strategical move to shift momentum and to help star players do their jobs. The players also have unwritten rules they follow to keep fighting from getting out of hand and many believe that fighting prevents dirty plays and cheap shots by keeping players in check. Fighting has always been a part of hockey and should never be taken out.…

    In desperate moments, time seems to drag on for eternities. The clock at the Detroit Lakes Hockey Arena does just that. It is the section final girls hockey game. We, the Storm’n Sabres, are playing the Roseau Rams for a chance to go to the state hockey tournament. Winning this game would mark the first time in Storm’n Sabres girls hockey history that a high school team makes it to the state tournament. The arena is old fashioned and looks like a barn from the outside. It is unlike many other arenas because the inside is made completely of wood. The lights shine brightly down on the ice; however, the ice is not top of line ice because it tends to become full of snow quickly.…

    Shoulder fake left, head fake right, a sweet inside outside move, and he fires it in top shelf, beating the goalie glove side to win the game. While that may sound like a narrative of a game-winning hockey goal, in reality, it is 1:30 AM on your average Thursday night and I am struggling to find the perfect concluding sentence to finish my history term paper. Often when I am struggling to find an answer to a question or need to concentrate on any given topic, I reach for my worn-out Warrior hockey stick and my dusty orange ball and begin to stickhandle mindlessly. One might never know, that my mind is far away from hockey as I look like a complete fool deking (hockey term for getting past people) imaginary people on my way to an imaginary net.…

    The Stanley Cup originated in Canada after Lord Frederick Arthur Stanley of Preston decided that since the sport was so popular there should be a form of championship between the teams.

The cup was originally called the Dominion Challenge Trophy, but was soon renamed the Stanley Hockey Championship Cup in 1893 after its founder. That same year it was decided that the Stanley Cup could not be owned by any of the winning hockey teams and went to whoever won the championship that year.…

    As the sun rises up and the street lights turn on, only six more hours until my big game.I felt like my heart was going to explode and burst out of my chest. As I got out of my bed I Felt a cold bitter bitter feeling. So I walked slowly and calmly to the bathroom. After that I had went down stairs to the kitchen and poured a bowl of frosted flankes cereal. While I was putting away the milk my mom said ''why is your hand shaking?''

    Ode To Hockey

    The thrill of scoring a winning goal, the sound of skates being sharpened. The fresh tape job you put on your stick before every game. The moments you share with your teammates that will last a life time. The road trips, games on back to back nights and the lack of sleep due to games finishing late. The crunch noise your body makes when you hit the boards leading to sometimes broken ribs, separated shoulders, concussions and broken legs. Nothing can compare to scoring a game winning goal to a hockey player is like winning the lottery. Players go through tough practices skating until they feel like puking, the preparation done before every one of the 82 games played just to try and salvage enough points to make it into the playoffs. Then you have to go through as many as 28 more terrific grueling games. In the end it all becomes worth it because two lucky teams get a chance to compete for one of the…

    My entire life has revolved around sports. Growing up, I spent most of my childhood weekends at hockey rinks all across New England watching my two older brothers play. It was only a matter of time before I laced up my very own pair of skates. I immediately fell in love with every aspect of hockey. My teammates and coaches were like my family and my hometown rink was my second home. This is where my passion for sports began.…

    It’s game day, and the first time in twenty-three years that we might be able to defeat out school rivals, Turpin. But something didn’t feel like it should, after all it was the biggest day our team’s season. We had immense confidence in ourselves, being the higher raked state team, we expected to win this game then make a large tournament run. Little did we know that the rest of our season relied heavily on this game. Winning or losing this game would not end our season physically, but would emotionally ruin us, ultimately ending our season. The game began with a pleasant, almost soothing blow of the whistle and ended with the blood-curtailing screech of the referee’s dagger, sending shivers down my spin. The roar of our crowd stopped and…
