How Do I Make It To The NHL?

[IPostedWhat]

Does anyone else have the same dream here? I try so hard every time I step on the ice. No mean to brag (seriously) but I'm the leading assister on the team, have the second most goals, and can nail some people cleanly but hard. I'm not quite the arguing type, I don't mouth off or get that many penalties. In the 7.5 years I've been playing hockey, I've got about 12 penatly minutes and 6 of those were served for the coaches haha! So I'm truly not a dirty player but I try so hard and play so fair yet people still tell me "Yea right, good luck with making it to the NHL." I'm only a bantam but ever since I saw my first hockey game, in fact almost after that first goal the capitals scored, I said I wanted to play hockey. I played in a home league for maybe 1 year only and then a coach for a travel team saw me skating and told me I should play for him. It was great. But funny thing is, I'm a bantam yet still hitting my head on people's chests. That doesn't stop me from laying them out. I can skate around three guys trying to hit and I guarentee at least two of them will fall trying to catch me. I have so much fun with all my friends on my hockey team. We may be a B team but I don't care because I'm focused on one long term goal... making it to the NHL.


Nice ending huh? PLEASE READ THE WHOLE THING, IT COULD HELP WITH THE ANSWERS!!!! Thanks!

He'd have an outside chance of making the NHL if those were primary assists, but it's pretty clear from his tone that he is a secondary assist kinda guy.

There's goes the college dream as well.


My word of advice for you? Be born in Canada. Since it might be a little too late for that, well it might be a little too late.

My dad once had a friend who was going to name his first kid "Apollo". His line of reasoning? His son was either going to become the world's greatest poet, or the toughest SOB on the planet.
