also give the players confidence (Jackson-Edwards‚ bleacherreport.com). This means that fans could possibly make or break some the way some sports players play. When the give the players confidence they will be more confident going up to bat‚ with the puck‚ shooting the ball or just taking risks in general. Sports give us an opportunity to see the good in failure(Sam Apple‚ Do Sports Fans Go Too Far?). This is important‚ because it is a skill that people must have in life to go through rough

After a couple years in the NHL Hextall created a name for himself‚ Hextall wasn’t afraid to fight. He would do anything to help his team capture a win. In 1987-88 Hextall made NHL history by becoming the first goalie to score a goal. He had shot the puck from his crease down the ice and into the open net. This task is very difficult to complete and he is one of few to do it. That is the reason I wrote about the Brandon native‚ because he has done something few have

A place I go that I feel a complete sense of ease and belonging is Bridgewater Sports Arena‚ where I play ice hockey. I love the sound that my Bauer Supreme skates make when they slice and dice through the thick‚ frigid ice. I crave the pattering sound that the spectators hands make when you score a goal or make a great play. And I despise the collective‚ “ awe‚” the fans make when something doesn’t go your way. The smell of the stick wax and gatorade let me know that I am right at home where I should

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

Unlike A Midsummer Night’s Dream‚ each of the cross-dressing characters does so as the result of conscious decision (as opposed to magical influence) and in order to attain a goal. While there are certainly a number of disguises in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” there are different motivations for characters wearing them. For Viola‚ her reasons for dressing as a young man are clear since she wants to be able to make a living in the new land she has found herself inhabiting. Although it may be a bit

When a question such as "What is Canadian identity?" is brought about‚ most people would say the term refers to the set of symbols and characteristics that most Canadians deem as expressing our unique place and role in the world‚ such as the maple leaf. Although‚ in my personal opinion when the question "What is Canadian identity?" is asked‚ not only do the symbols and characteristics that represent our Country come to mind‚ but much‚ much more.
