Hockey is very popular sport. This exercise is designed to help you write a short story about the sport. Before we begin our story, lets put some thoughts together by brainstorming.

Think about the following questions and write your ideas in the space provided

What type of audience will be reading my story?

There are many things I can say about hockey. What are the main things I want to talk about?

Is there some basic information the reading audience should have to get the most from my story?

I like to play and watch hockey but the sport is going crazy. Everyone is trying to hurt another player so their team can win the game. I believe in a nice body check to get the puck but not one that puts the other guy in the hospital.

I believe that no one person should earn three million dollars to playa fun sport like hockey. I played for fourteen years as an enforcer with the Senior Flyers here in Gander. I got hurt a few times and no one paid me a million dollars a year to playa sport I love.
