Paul's  Hockey  Page

       Possibly my favorite sport is hockey.  Why?  Because it has a perfect balance of fast paced gaming, skill, and fighting.  The low scoring games also allow cheering after every goal, instead of games like basketball where every basket doesn't seem to count as much.  Also the game allows unsportsmanlike actions like hitting and fighting (which hockey doesn't really allow, but players do it anyway). 

        Up until about 5 years ago when my stepfather first joined our family I had never really been following any sports.  When he did come, though, he brought along with him his love for hockey, which we soon joined into.  At first my brother, Daniel, and I started by watching his favorite team with him, the Ottawa Senators.  Later, Daniel started following the Washington Capitals, which was the closest team to Charlottesville.  By then I had also chosen a favorite team based on the only team that I really knew, the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim.  I knew them well because I used to watch all three Mighty Ducks movies, and used to be obsessed with their TV show.  My favorite player then became the Captain of that team, Paul Kariya.  He later got traded to the Colorado Avalanche, so I followed him.  I soon forgot about the Mighty Ducks being my favorite team and instead started liking the Colorado Avalanche.  Ever since then, the Colorado Avalanche has been my favorite team, even after Paul Kariya got traded to the Nashville Predators.

This is Paul Kariya, my favorite player
