Many will say, there is no point in playing hockey, we strongly disagree. Kids and teenagers are taking time out of their day, their vacation time, social encounters, and even family gatherings just to train in an attempt to make it big. So what do you think? Is it a waste of time? A risk worth taking? Is hockey important enough to sacrifice your childhood?
We say yes. Why? Well that is easy. If you love hockey enough just like us, you will know that every moment you step on the ice, hit the weights, or score a goal, the satisfaction is so great, your sacrifice doesn't seem like a sacrifice. It feels like something you want to keep doing. That you would rather be playing hockey than be with friends, and even sometimes family.
Yes, we love our family. But, we also love hockey. After the season is over, or your career has ended, then there is time to be with those special people in your life. While you have hockey with you, your teammates are your family. You sweat and bleed for them, you take hit, beatings, bruises, to protect them, and that is what people say a waste of time is?
Hockey forms lifetime bonds, that will never go away. Even after your teammates are gone, you will never forget them, and they will be with you forever. In a way, hockey is in our blood, and we are not going to throw that away, just because someone tells us it is a waste of your childhood.
If hockey really was a waste of time, why would so many people love it? Sure it takes up hundreds of hours, but it is all time you enjoy spending, so no, it is not a waste of time. People can have their own opinions, and we respect that. But we know our opinion is correct.
