“[My favorite hockey memory was] making it to the quarterfinals in the Quebec International Tournament. My teammate, Ethan, and I stayed with a family who lived in Canada. The family normally spoke French, so it was difficult to understand them. It was interesting to see how much snow there was and to learn about popular foods like poutine. I enjoy playing hockey in Canada more than in the United States [because] the icing and offsides rules are different between each country. Our team also went to a snow park. There were 15 different hills we could go down while sledding. It was like Six Flags but a snow version.¨ – Dexter Brooks, 9
