Hello, I'm dwinschampionships and to me Hockey is my life. I have played ice hockey since i was 5 and i still do today. I was born in Columbus Ohio and i still live there today. I grew uo as a Blue Jackets fan and have devolped also into a San Jose Sharks fan. My favorite NHL players are Rick Nash,Shea Weber and Kris Russel. If you are wondering why my name is dwinschampionships there is a story behind it. When i was 9 my position was Left Wing. My dad that whole season kept wanting me too change to his position as a kid Defence. I never wanted to as when i was 9 i though defence was boring then when i was 14 my dad died of cancer. This happened while my team was 5 games into our 38 game regular season. I took two weeks of from hockey to spend time with my family. When i got back on the ice it was one of our teams practices and the team bought me a Blue Jackets jersey with my last name on the back and my dad's favorite number on it. And gave me a card. My coach then said when he was 11. Then i asked my coach if i could play defense the next day beause of my dad's death and he said yes. When i played my 1st game at defense i sucked. But as the season went on i got better and better. When i was 16 my team went to New York for a hockey tournament we won 3-2 against New York in the finals. I was named the tournament MVP. My mom would always keep track of my stats and after the tournament. I played 11 games and these were my stats: 5G 7A 12PTS 4PIM 11 Blocked Shots and 22 Hits. The next season we had all the same players from the season before and went to the same New York tournament and beat detroit in the finals 7-0 and once again i was the tournament MVP with 6G 9A 15PTS 8PIM 13Blocked Shots and 19 Hits. We then went to a tournament in Toronto and the team from Toronto had not lost a game in 3 years we played them in the finals and beat them 1-0. After we won that game our coach told us something he said Defence Wins Championships and ever since that i have beilved in that. Like i said i still play hockey in a league in Columbus for people aged 22-34. I am also a assisant coach for a Hockey team. The kids are 9 and 10 years old.
