About This Blog

Hi! My name is Dylan Kingwell. I am a fun, outgoing, studious 11 year old boy. I am also athletic as I play hockey all winter and spring every year.

This blog is going to be me writing down my thoughts about anything and everything that may cross my mind. I hope to be posting multiple times a week, but with my schedule, there's no guarantee! Anyway, you know enough, so without further ado, these, are My Thoughts.

Thoughts About Hockey

Hello guys! So today I want to talk about hockey. Hockey is a game that involves 5 players on each team, 6 including the goalie. The objective is to either score a goal or to prevent one from landing in the back of your net. A goal is scored when the puck passes the goal line. The way one would score a goal is by shooting the puck with your stick and getting it passed the goalie, who guards the net. Out of the five players, 3 of them are forwards who try to score goals, and 2 of them play defence, those players, including the goalie, try to prevent the goals, although everyone plays a part in making sure that there are as little goals against as possible.
I have played hockey since I was 4. I enjoy hockey so much for a few reasons. Hockey is a fast pace, competitive, challenging sport. And best of all it is a team sport. I get to hang out with some of my best friends ever when I play hockey and there is nothing better than that. I have also become a better person by playing hockey. I learned to work as a team player and cooperate with others, which is definitely a quality everyone should have. I have also learned that it is OK to ask for help sometimes. What I mean is that it is OK to not do everything on your own and that multiple people get the job done quicker than 1 person. And that is why hockey is 5 versus 5, not 1 versus 1. There is no "I" in team.
Other Information
There is a hockey league called the National Hockey League, or NHL. That is where the professionals go, the best players in the world. My personal favourite player is Pavel Datsyuk. He is a Russian hockey player that plays for an NHL team called the Detroit Red Wings. I love him because of his amazing skills. In fact, the reason why I always wear number 13 is because Pavel Datsyuk is also number 13.

Anyway thanks for reading guys and don't forget to put your feed back in the comments! Have a great day, and find out what happens on Tuesday!

Dogs!

Hello guys! This is my first blog! And I thought, well what better thing to do than to write about something I love so much? Dogs. In my opinion, the best pet I will ever get. I'm getting a black lab puppy on August 18th, 2015. He will be just 7 weeks old and the cutest, furriest little thing you'll ever see. Black labs are considered a large breed dog, meaning that they grow to be pretty big. And boy do they grow fast! I've seen my puppy twice. (He still lives with the breeder) . Once when he was 4 weeks, and once when he was six weeks. Man, he was almost double the size! The breeder also has a 2 year old male black lab that is almost fully grown! 2 years! Although we have to take into consideration that one human year is seven dog years, but even by 14, a man isn't near fully grown. I have been searching for tips and tricks to train our dog, and it won't be easy, but the reward will be amazing. I've been begging for a dog for about a year and a half, and now with a little help from my mom, on August 18th, 2015, I am going to have another thing in my life to love so much and to play with, a black lab, named
Guinness.


Upcoming events 
So, on this blog, I intend to have some themes. Something for my readers to come back to every week, knowing what they will read, kind of like a weekly TV show. Here's what I have so far:

Tech Tuesday: Where I talk all about technology, whether it be a review on a product, or simply me talking, Tuesday is all about tech.

Sporty Saturday: Where I talk about everything sports. This could be the latest news, why I love the sport, or anything else to do with sports.

Anyway, be sure to come back on Saturday, and thanks so much for reading!
