Hockey matters to me because it almost gives me an escape route from life. It is like a dream, and I don’t have any worries and just have fun. Hockey is like the first time you eat ice-cream. It is so cool.

If I could I would play hockey the rest of my life. Hockey matters to me so much I don’t think I could live without it. I wouldn’t know what to do with my time if hockey was never invented. I would be a couch potato without it.

I hope I can play hockey the rest of my life because it is an energetic fun filled sport. I think I am pretty good too. It also keeps me out of trouble. Hockey is what matters to me most, and I treat it as a gift.
