First football practice

Yesterday I had my first football practice.  In my first football practice we started off with a warm-up.  We did warm-ups for one 1:00 of our 1:30.  We did: jogging, high-knees, side shuffling, butt kicks, slants, broad jump, burpees, and sprints.  After that we split up into four groups.  I started off on the blocking drill, which wasn’t very fun.  All we did was practice blocking people.  After that I did the throwing and catching drill.  We threw the ball around and caught it.  After that we did a shuffling foot work drill.  One person was the bunny.  So the bunny ran however it wanted and the other person would have to follow him.  After that was we did a back pedaling drill which was really easy.  After that we did exercises, like burpees, squats, and jogging.  After that we did our of practice speech and then we were done.  So all of the drills we did were simple.

Track and Field Tryouts

At my school, track tryouts have started.  So far there have been 2 tryouts.  For both of the tryouts we have been inside, in a gym.  In the first tryout we started off by learning the A’s, the walking A’s, the skipping A’s, and the running A’s.  Then after we learned all of them we did warm ups around the gym.  We did all of the A’s, we also did high knees, butt kicks, karaoke, and side shuffle.  After we did the warm ups, which they took a long time since there’s a lot of grade 5 and 6’s, we got into groups of four. Two girls and two boys made each group.  We did sprints so one of the boys started and ran to the other side and high fived one of the girls.  Then the girl would run to the other side and high five the second boy.  We did this for 5 minutes straight without stopping.  After we did that for five minutes we did stretching.  We did a lot of different stretches.  We did the stretches for a long time.  After that we did 2 laps around the gym and then our first tryout was done.  For are second tryout we used an app called Swirk It for the whole time.  So one of the coaches attached there phone to the projector and put on Swirk It.  We did 20 minutes for lower body work out and we did 10 minutes for upper body and core each.  Then we did 5 laps around the gym and we were done.  After both of the practices my legs were sore.  But after the second tryout my legs weren’t as sore as they were after the first tryout.

Last year I did the 400 meter, the 800 meter, and the relay.

NHL 15

For Christmas I got NHL 15 for X-Box one.  NHL 15 is a really good game.  You get to choose whichever NHL team you want.  If you use no rules you’re allowed to go offside and body check the goalie and so on. For my family it’s hard to play NHL rules because we always go offside, but its also fun because we can get penalty’s.  For offense the controls are A to switch, A to pass if you have the puck, B to slap shot, X for wrist shot, and RB to deke.  On defense the controls are A to switch and Y to check.

Wasaga Hockey tournament

This weekend I had a hockey tournament in Wasaga Beach.  Each team got to play three games.  The first game we faced Mount Forest.  They weren’t very good, but they had a couple of good players.  In that game I scored two goals.  The final score was 5-0. So we moved to the gold division. The next game was against a better team.  In that game I scored one goal and had two assists.  My only goal happened when the other team tripped me and I shot and scored!  The final score was 4-1.  That means we’re in the championship game.  In championship game we faced a team called the Noble Knights, which was an OK team.  In this game I scored 1 goal and had 2 assists.  The end score was for us also 4 to 1.  That means we won the whole tournament.

Sports

My Football season started last week.  I’m one of the four captains on my team.  The positions that I play are Running back and linebacker,  which are my two favorite positions.  My favorite thing in practice is when we do hitting drills.  On offense I usually run and get a touchdown and on defense I pretty much always tackle the runner.  My first game is next weekend.  I wonder how our team is going to do because most of them are playing their first year of football.

This year is my first time doing spring hockey.  My first game is tomorrow, I wonder how were going to do since we all haven’t practiced together yet so far in any of our practices.  On the team pretty much every body is a leftie and I’m a “rightie”.  It made me think are leftie better than “rightie”.  The spring league is a short season.  We’re going to have two tournaments and six practices.

Hockey

Yesterday I had my hockey championship.  It was the Beverly Bandits against New Hamburg, I’m on Beverly.  The series was a best of three and this was the third game.  We won one and tied one.  In the first period we didn’t play that well.  They should’ve scored a couple of goals but they didn’t because are goalie is awesome. 

The second period we played well.  In the middle of the period we scored and we were so happy.  Close to the end of this period the other team scored.  In the third period we played fine.  They should’ve scored a lot that period but they didn’t for the same reason.  So the game went to overtime, which was really even.  With thirty seconds left to go the other team pulled their goalie.  With five seconds left Ben shot the puck from the blue line. It was on target, but was there  enough power . . . yes . . . it just barely slid in and we scored.  Game Over! Yeah! So we won the B division championship.

Hockey

On  Sunday I had a hockey game against New Hamburg.  Our team beat them three one at the beginning of the season. This game our team was really lazy they didn’t skate that hard and they didn’t pass the puck.  At the start of the game the other team scored.  After that they switched the lines so I wasn’t with Owen anymore.  I work really well with him.  I passed the puck to one of my teammates and they got a break-a-way, but he missed the net.  After that the other team  scored another goal to make the game two nothing.  Once the game was almost over the team scored again.  The final score was three nothing for the other team.  Then I left to watch the super bowl.  Which was a blowout.  My team lost.

Sledge hockey

Yesterday I had a sledge hockey game at seven thirty in Ancaster.  I was excited to play sledge hockey.  Once got to the arena I tried a sled and it was good.  Once I got on the ice one of the coaches taped my legs to the sled.  To play sledge hockey you sit in a sled and have two small hockey sticks with spikes on the end.  The game seemed impossible,  but the other team was so good.

They would deke are team out by crossing the puck over to their other stick.  To do this they would put the puck under their sled, it was very complicated.  After one of their players scored a hat-trick they gave us their best player.  He set our team up a lot of times but we couldn’t hit the puck.  After a while the player that we got scored.  So that made it six to one for them.  My team only had two shots on net.  Once the game was almost over everybody went on the ice to play.  Almost everybody fell down.  One time I looked up the ice and saw about five  of my teammates lying on the ice.

It was really fun and it was a great experience to play sledge hockey.

Hockey Tournement

Last weekend I had a hockey tournament of three games.  In the first game I faced Caledonia, they were a weak team.  I played with Owen and I think we played pretty well together.  We passed the puck to each other really well.  We knew were each other were.  I didn’t score any goals, but I stopped some.  The game ended up to be about 😯 for my team.  After the game was over we had a shootout.  My team won the shootout.  I hurt the other teams goalie, by shooting the puck and hitting the goalie in a clear spot that had no pads.

The next game was against Richmond Hill Oak Ridges which was a really good team.  In the fourth, with two minutes left, the score was four to two.  My coaches put on the power line which was Ben at center, Owen at left-wing, me at right-wing, Noah and David at defense.  In about thirty seconds the line scored two goals, tying up the game.  For the last minute nobody could score so the game went to overtime.  In overtime their best player received a major penalty for head contact and was ejected from the game.  Nobody could score.  With about a minute left my team collected two penalties to end overtime.  Now it was the shootout.   They only scored twice probably because my team has an amazing goalie.  My team scored five times goals to win the shootout. All of their parents were angry because Richmond Hill lost and they felt cheated; they thought their team was the best.  Some of the parents said that they will buy them a gold medal.  Which the parents could do because they are really rich.

In the gold medal game I faced the Sailors which was another weak team.  This game I played center which is my favourite position to play.  In this game I still scored no goals.  Which means I didn’t score any goals in the tournament.  The score was seven-one for my team.  So my team came first in the tournament.  Everybody on my team got a trophy that said gold medalist champions.  Everybody on the other team got a trophy that said gold medalist finalists.  I felt good because my team won the whole tournament and I played really well.

Hockey

Yesterday I had a hockey game against Saint George.  I played centre, which is my favorite position.  After a little while in the game I got switched to Owen’s (which is my friend) line so I was right wing.  We worked really well together.  I had two scoring opportunities.  One of them was because Owen passed the puck to me.  After he passed the puck to me he got hit by a Saint George player.  Someone on my team took a great shot, but it hit the cross bar.  The score ended up as one nothing for them.
