Narrative Essay Kyle Kolodisa My First Double A Hockey Tryouts Engl 1180 It had been a long week of baseball tournaments and hockey at night it was the second week of the summer of 2000. And little did I know what laid just ahead of me and the challenge for not only my pride but for survival in a much larger way then ever before. In all the years that I have played hockey I would never feel like this again and would never have a challenge that pushed me so far and so hard. It was the 9th of June and I already was planning the summer off of hockey and all sports to just work and hang out with my friends but at about 6:30pm I received a call from my friend Joe telling me that I had to get down to the polar ice place and I had to do it in a matter of 20 min. this on a normal day would have been fine but on this day I was 45 min away in baseball gear and I still had a game of baseball left to play and that I didn’t want to play hockey this summer. So I had decided to stay then about tem minutes later I got a call back telling me the team it was for a team in which was ranked in state with a 31 game winning record and it was holding try out a double A team which I had only dreamed of playing for before. So all the sudden it was a rush to get all my baseball gear together and to get home to grab my gear and get to the rink. So began the rush on the road to drive 45 min in only a now 15 min frame of time with my father driving at speeds of 100 of above I was quickly trying to get out of my base ball gear and in to regular close and ready to get into the house for my hockey gear. We actually made the house in the 15 but seeing as how the arena was another 20 min form my house I as soon gave up on making the team. Or getting there on time. But we left anyways at top speeds once again and we were making good time when it happened a red flashing light behind us damn I thought I can see the arena. So after 5 min of my father talking to the officer I snapped and grabbed my gear and ran for it running to the arena to just get there and have even a chance to play.
