A few ideas:

1. People are competitive by nature, we often compare ourselves to our peers as we attempt to become the best we can be; write about your childhood rival.

2. Did your dad sit on the couch with a cold beer watching Hockey Night in Canada? Did your older brother play on the high school team? Did a good friend give you some hockey cards? Which person was the first to get you interested in hockey?

3. Have you ever missed an empty net goal? Then you know how painful and embarrassing hockey can be; describe the most embarrassing thing that has happened while on skates.
