Personal Narrative - Kaelin's Hockey, by Kaelin Callahan

I was cold and hot. You can’t hear anything but hockey stopping the sound of the poke hitting the boards. The hockey game was fun. We were playing well but it wasn’t great. They got the upper hand. We were playing well but our score was bad. I can’t really remember the score but I think it was 2 to 4, we were playing badly. For the first period we got more goals like 1 but we were playing a decent second period. We were still losing the game and our confidence.  We weren't playing hard enough at all and they were playing pretty tired. We had so many opportunities. We had three goals but we let our guard down and they got the best of us. We were all just playing bad. We were tired because it was an early game. Around the end there was a huge twist. This guy tripped me and I got an elbow hit on the spine. The guy got upset and started to punch me so I pushed him back on the ice. Then the ref saw it and called penalties on me. The other guy had a two minute penalty. I heard his coach said “You could have been kicked out of the game!”. When it was 2 to 4 I was so nervous. I was praying to Jesus in my head to win but we lost.
