My Mother once told me I would make it to the NHL. I think I still have I chance at the NHL, but it's my last year in the WHL. I am starting to get worried if I am going to make it to the NHL or not. I have not heard from any scouts or anything, but I have fifty points this year. It has been my best year yet. I have confidences in myself and believe that I will be drafted to the NHL. The only thing that stands in my way was I was only assistant captain. I thought this would be my year leading the Brandon Wheat Kings to victory in the Memoral Cup, instead I was voted out and Micheal Ferland got the C. That wasn'[t holding me back from leading my team to victory though! I believe that I could make this my year and tonight I could show off my skills to the scouts. We were playing against the Calgary Hitman in Brandon and the scouts from the Calgary Flames were going to be there. This was my chance!
I arrived at the rink at 9:00 am for the morning skate before the big game. I was making sure that I was ready. This was one of the biggest nights of my life, I couldn't blow it. The team went to Apple Bee's for lunch for a good pre-game meal. I have pasta and chicken, something that had the protein, but not to heavy. I was really getting focus, focusing on what I could do better on left wing.
It was time! The big game was now. We were heading out for warmup, I was pumped. I was starting on the first line with Micheal Ferland and Brodie Malychuk. The puck was droped Micheal won the draw. We ending up dumping the puck in. I got the puck and cycled it back to Brodie. We did a give and go and I scored. Good first impression, eh? It was one nothing throught the first. No score through the second. Third period I was out with Micheal and I just had a feeling that we would score, but nothing happened I was wrong. We went off and the 2nd line went out and put us up two to nothing! That was the winning goal. After the game I found out that I got the first star. I thought I would get me a place in the draft! Nothing I had said matters now.
