Examples of hockey in a Sentence
Canada is a country whose main exports are hockey players and cold fronts. Our main imports are baseball players and acid rain.
Stanley Cup-winning defenceman Slava Voynov:
Earlier today, I notified the National Hockey League, the National Hockey League Players' Association and the Los Angeles Kings of my decision to immediately begin the formal process of returning to Russia with my family, i sincerely apologize to those in and around the game of hockey, who have been affected by my situation, and I also wish the players of the Los Angeles Kings success in the future.
Celebrities, A-listers, and even hockey players that have people following them all over the place, it can't be easy, usually they say goalies are the quiet ones and I definitely fit that stereotype. I'm fairly quiet, not really that outgoing but in a situation like this you learn to be.
I don't like my hockey sticks touching other sticks, and I don't like them crossing one another, and I kind of have them hidden in the corner. I put baby powder on the ends. I think it's essentially a matter of taking care of what takes care of you.
You learn to win in every different kind of way and every different kind of situation, we've been doing that through this run here, and it just makes you feel like going into every game like you can win every game. That's a fun way to play hockey. That's a really nice feeling, and we're going to hold onto it and keep working to keep that feeling.
