It’s the third period, all tied up at three. One minute and twenty seconds to go on the clock. The clock is ticking down and every second counts. All we need is one more goal to capture the provincial title for our community. The puck is passed back and forth from one end of the ice to the other. The clock buzzes and the score is a tie. There is a short break before overtime starts. The players skate to the bench to clench their thirst and strategize with their coaches. The fans and players are nervous. The five strongest players head to center ice to take the face-off. The next goal wins!
The crowd is cheering loud with noisemakers shaking in their hands to encourage the home town boys in the local arena. The stands are packed with people from the community and the opposition’s fans. This game brings people of all ages together to enjoy a sport that is important to Canada. The community comes together to support the bantam hockey team. It is truly amazing to everyone come together support the team’s playing for the banner. Feeling the pressure, the team captain lines up to take a shot from the offensive blue line. The crowed and players from the bench have all eyes on him as he takes a shot and scores. The rink is bursting with excitement. The moment is surreal to everyone in the arena. The Langenburg Bantam Warriors have won the provincial title. The team all dashes out of the bench and jumps on the captain who scored the goal! Sticks and gloves are flying in the air behind them as they skate across the ice. The crowed in the stands are crying and hugging with pride. The team respectfully shakes hands with the other team, and proceeded to skate laps in a group to show their fans the banner they won. Every Warrior fan has a smile on their face and was excited about the team’s win. Family and close friends went to join the team on the ice to take team and family pictures proudly with the banner. The happiness and pride was shared among the team members and fans. The excitement in the arena was unexplainable.

As I read your blog my heart was racing. I felt like I was right there in the arena. I kept wondering is the team going to win? What if the puck misses the net? I could just picture in my mind the crowd going wild in support of their hometown boys. There is nothing more Canadian then hockey.

I Enjoyed reading your post. I have never played hockey but did go to a few games over the years. I noticed a minor spelling error and see that it has already been commented on. You did a great job explaining the moment but I noticed that you didn’t write about your feelings or exactly where you were in the moment. Not sure if that is something you would want to add or consider putting in when revising the story.
