my favorite memory

My favorite memory happened when I was about 14 years old. Barely anyone had shown up for our hockey game that saturday but all of the other team had shown up, we only had one substitute for the entire first line and that was all. I played center for every shift of all three periods and for some reason I had more energy then ever before. since we were so short handed the league decided the game would be played 4 on 4 rather then the usual 5 on 5.

In the first period alone I had scored 2 goals but I wasnt done there. In the second period I scored a third goal giving me my first hat trick of the season, the best I had ever played was unfolding on that ice. I was doing moves I had never even tried before and always pulling them off, iv never been able to duplicate them unfortunately but it was nice while it lasted. then came the last period.

Up 3 to 0 and the other team scored while my coach called me over to the bench for a second because he saw I had been slowly loosing steam so he called a timeout to let me sit and take a drink after the other team had scored. and boy when I came back on the ice i felt a hole lot better and ready to make up for that goal. With 7 minutes left in the game I scored another 3 goals always right off the center ice face off. it felt so good. 2 hat tricks in one game. I felt so alive and accomplished, and I think that thanks to that game I won the most improved player award for that season, too bad I tied for the award with the goalie that I had scored the double trick on, but it wasnt her fault for that game, it was her defensmen haha.
