I strap on my skates as I head out onto the hockey rink to praitice hockey. It was an empty rink, which was a good thing cause I'm not a very good hockey player at all.
Grabbing a puck from off the ice, i place it down in the center as I hit it. The puck when flying as it hits the glass.I make my embaressing face as I skate over there to reteive the puck.

"I'm bad at this," I thought to myself as I skate in front of the net.

Pulling my stick back I hear "The rink will be closing in 5 minutes,"

I didn't want to leave, so I pull my stick back and shot the puck.It didn't go in.

"Dang it!" I exclaim outloud.

"Hey, you need help?" I hear a man voice saying.
Turning around I see a group of men walking in.

"Wonder why they here for"I say to myself again.

"No I'm good," I say as he contuines to skate over to me.

"You look like your new to the game. Are you?" He asks.

"I am new, well not new, new. I've been praticing for 2 weeks now," I say as he smiles.

"I can help with you with a few things with the puck,stick,and some tricks that i know?" he asks.

"Sure, I'll love that," I say.

"I'm Sidney," he says.

"I'm Aalyah," I say.

"Well let's begin with the stick position, what hand is your dom hand?"

"My right,"

"Then put your left hand at the top and your right at the bottom,"

I then position myself like that.

"Good, now show me how you would shoot?
I pulled up then let go.

"Your pulling back too far, let me help you,"
He gets behide me and places his hands on mine as he pulls back.

"About this far,"
He then gets back in front of me.

"Now shoot,"
I then.

"Good, your a fast learner, now let me go get my stick and my friend to help us out,"
He skates back over to his group as I take a few shoots without a puck.

"Ok, he will get in the goalies net for us, now I'll teach ya a few tricks,"

Just as he says that his friend came over and got in the net.
I noticed that he had a Pittsburgh Penguins shirt on as I notice the samething with Sidney.

"Ok ready to watch?" Sidney asks.

"Yep," I say.

I watch as he heads to center ice as he begins skating fast and shooting in unqiue ways into the net. It was interesting.

"Nice goals Sidney," I say.

"Now you try a goal,"Sidney says.

"Oh ok,"
I then grab the puck and skate up to center ice.
Taking a big breathe I head skating to the goalie as I fake shot it and then slapshot it into the net.

"Good job, Aalyah,"Sid says.

"Thanks, your really helpful Sidney," I says as I look at my watch.
4:30, crap I was suppose to meet Yvette at the cafe 10 minutes ago.

"Well i have to go, see ya around Sidney," I say as I skate off the ice.

45 minutes of driving and I arrived at the cafe.
I rush in to see her waiting at the table.

"Sorry I'm late girl," I say as I sit down in a chair.

"Where were you?" Yvette asks.

"At the hockey rink praitcing and I got caught up in it with someone helping me," I say.

"Someone needed to help you,"
She begins to laugh.

"That's not funny,"

"Yes it is, you aren'ts very good, so was it a fat man?"

"No, it was a guy, he was there with his team and he taught me some basic skills and some tricks on the side," I say.

"Ohh, what was his name?"

"His name was Sidney,"

"Sidney, did he have sorta long hair, brown eyes, and a sorta of candian accent?"

"Yeah, why?"

"That was Sidney Crosby. You've got taught by him!"

"So, who is Sidney Crosby?"

"Girl you need to watch more hockey on TV,"

"I do, I watch the Blue Jackets games,"

"You live in Pittsburgh and watch the Jackets. Girl everyone would hate you. you need to watch the Penguins cause that what team sidney is on,"

"Ok, alright,"

"He's about your age but older,"

"He looks too young for me anyways and I'm not saying that I even like him. He's just a guy,"

"Just a guy? girl anyone would give up there boyfriends or even husbands to be with Sidney. He's just so popular around here i can't believe you lived here all your life and never heard about him,"

"Well believe it. The only guy I really known and he's my favorite player is Mario Lemieux,"

"You need some catching up, when you get home look up the Penguins and study them,"

"Ok, whatever,"


As I enter my house later that evening, I head to my computer.
Sitting down I click on the internet then to nhl.com to then click on the Penguins logo.
Scrolling down I hit team then roster.
Immedicaly afterwards I hit on Sidney's name.
As it pops up that was the guy that I met today. He was born in Nova Scotia, Canada on august 7th 1987.
He was one whole month older then me.
As I scroll through the site, I hit and play videos that had sidney in it so I could hear his voice, it was the same as it was earlier.

Yvette was right, I did meet Sidney Crosby today, which isn't a big deal to me. Like I said he's just a norma hockey playing guy.
