I started playing hockey when I was 9. I mostly played roller hockey with friends in neighborhood parks. I continued to play roller and floor hockey in high school, but never in any leagues or on organized teams. My first sporting event I ever went to was a hockey game at MSG. The Rangers were playing the Bruins. Unfortunately, the Rangers lost that night, but even though my friends wanted to leave early I insisted we stay for the whole game. I found the game to be so appealing. Since then I have never left an NHL game before it has totally ended (including the announcement of the 3 stars of the game). Hockey has always been my favorite sport to play or watch.

When I was younger I wanted to play ice hockey. I asked my parents, at Sky Rink coincidently, if I could. They said the equipment would cost too much (but did buy me my first hockey stick). A year ago (end of 2006) I decided it was time I made that desire happen. Since then I've been working hard and have finally found myself in a league and on a team.
