When the snow is cold as ice
And the fireplace is brighter than ever
The stockings hang in a...

It was the same everyday. Go to practice. Come home. Practice again. I didn't mind practicing but when it came to the games It really got to me. No matter how hard I tried, it was never good enough. Even if we did win, It didn't feel like it was enough. Everyday I practiced. I usually came home my...
