Ice hockey? Ehh... I'm not really a fan, nor do I enjoy watching it. Saturday would be my little sisters last home game so I decided to go and support her. She was determined to win and defeat the Brewster Bulldogs. Any time I would go to a game, I would get cold, but this time I came prepared and wore tons of clothes. Although I think I will never become familiar with the terminology of the game, I enjoyed this one, as it meant so much to everyone.
In he beginning of the game, my sister’s team, the Gulls, scored right away. After that, they seemed rather slow and no one understood why they were skating so poorly. All of a sudden the Bulldogs scored a goal and they were tied! Then as the game came closer to an end, the Bulldogs scored again but for the wrong team and everyone was shocked! The Gulls scored one last goal after all their hard work and won the game! The audience was cheering and I was proud of my sister. She did an amazing job and did he best she could. From this point, I can see myself getting more involved in her games!
