Point of hockey...

Most people think that in hockey, the entire point of the game is to chasse a small black piece of rubber up and down the ice without getting knocked on your butt and to shoot it inside a net to accumulate points. I will say that you’re right about one thing, the point of hockey is to accumulate points to win the game, but it is SO much more then just that. To begin, it’s hard enough to get by five guys without getting brutally hit or having the puck stripped from you. Secondly, you can’t just shoot the puck and expect the goalie to sit there and push it in for you. You have to practice to develop your shot and ability to control the puck, so that you could, just as easily, shoot the puck past the goalie or make him look like a fool and dance around him. That’s only the simple part of the game though, to be a good hockey player, you must learn that a good defence is the best offence. So even though you can score goals like it’s nothing now, so can they. So what can you do to make sure, that they don’t get to what you want? Pretty simple actually, doesn’t matter if your man is tall or small, plant your feet, brace your self and hit him like he kissed your girlfriend. Do these things, and you will win a game without a doubt.
