In the life we need passion. The sports, the music, the cinema make us change our ideas. We like sports and our favorite sport is the hockey. We like this sport because when we are on the ice we forget all the distractions and we're ready for hours of fun. Hockey is the national sport of the Canadians and at the last olympics          (The 2002 Salt Lake City Olympic Games) , the Canada won the gold medal. But maybe that if you're born in Africa you don't know what is the hockey. On the ice we are 12 players,  6 players per team but, it has one special player per team that we call the goaltender. He has the bigger equipment because his job is to stop the puck. The objective is to use a hockey stick and to put the puck in the goal but sometimes the goaltender is very good. It has also always 2 defensemen. If the defensemen are good the other team have a lot of difficulty to score goals. The players who score goals are 3. The right wing, the left wing and the center win $ millions if they put a lot of puck in the net.
