Alex’s Reviews > So You Want to Play in the NHL : A Guide for Young Players > Status Update

There is not a standing out antagonist that is very obvious because my book is a how to. But the antagonist for people trying to make it to the NHL is your self. In the book the author says you and you only can be the deciding factor in making it. I am the antagonist of the story because if I want to make it to the NHL then I have to work hard in hockey and school and keep it up. Also, I have to not ever give up.

There is no protagonist in my story because it is just the author talking in general. They do state specific experiences they they had just so you know that they seem like they know what they are talking about. Also, it is pretty much a how to book so there is no character doing the action. The author just tells the story they don't lead you through though so that is a different reason why there is no protagonist.

I can predict that I will start to see little improvements gradually in hockey and as a person. In the book it mentions you should do off ice to keep up your strength and get stronger. I try and keep up with that and do that when I can. After doing it for a while I belive I will start doing more reps and it will get easier as I do more of any kind of workout exercises. Also, the two authors played high level hockey.

Connection- Text to self
In the book that I am reading I connect it to myself mostly because I play hockey but there a specific thing so that I can relate too in the book. In a chapter that talked about off ice training I can connect to that because I have to do off ice training a lot to keep in shape. Also, I have off ice to become stronger over all. In the the book I also relate to how they say not to give up.

Why does the two authors of the book talk about in multiple chapters about not making it to the NHL? I think he brings this up because it gives you hope that you could still make it to the NHL even if you are not the most talented player. Also, because it gives you the reality of it and if you really wanted to become an NHL player then you would have to not give up and always try to better your self all around.

I am reading this book because I am not a big reader. It wasn't too long and it was appealing topic to me because I am a hockey player. Hockey has always been my main interest And on the cover page it said a guide for young players so that applied to me.
