I was where I usually was in the car with my dad driving to hockey practice. It was my first regular season practice of the year and I was anxious to make new memories with my new teammates and coaches. I arrived and got ready for the practice, stretching and warming up for the physical shock of intense activity. The practice was tiring like normal. Near the end of practice, I was rushing for the puck my hardest and without me knowing, someone crashed into me which caused my hip to go flying into the boards off a heavy hit. I had dislocated my hip!  I’ve learned that you might get hurt or knocked down with anything, but you have friends and family to support you through it all. I probably will get hurt again some time, but when the time comes, I definitely won't be worried. I’ll be waiting to share the experience with others.
