When I was 16 years old I nearly quit playing hockey. I didn’t even get in the line up around 15 games that season out of 60. When I did play, I didn’t see much ice-time. It came to a point that I no longer loved the game I grew up playing. At the same time that I learned to walk, I learned to skate. It was all that I knew, and I was ready to throw it all away.
As a teenager it is easy to fall when you are faced with adversity. Luckily, I had a strong supporting cast including my father who told me to Keep Going. He always believed that I would catch a break and get my opportunity to show the skill that I knew I had. It was just a matter of time.
A few months later one of our top players had a season ending injury. This opened up an opportunity for me to receive more playing time. In the playoffs I was an impactful player and proved my worth. 2 years later I was selected 4th overall in the National Hockey League Draft.
From that point on, I have continued to Keep Going. Embracing all challenges and good times that I am faced with, taking them head on.
Today I am 28 years of age. I have played over 650 regular season NHL games and am one year away from playing in the NHL for a decade.
The next time you think about giving up on your dream, your passion, the countless hours you have dedicated to your craft, no matter how tough and challenging that time may be for you, no matter your age... Think about a 16 year old kid about to give up on his dream of playing in the NHL. With his dad holding that career on by a thread. To just 2 years later that dream coming true. KEEP GOING

Hello, my name is Ryan Chloe. I want to share with the world my sad experience with a fake cryptocurrency scammer after falling for his gimmicks. I was catfished by a man on POF, he then introduced me to this fake crypto miner. Honestly, everything the scammer showed me looks legit worth giving it a shot as it’s a short-term investment with lots of profits. My investment later turned sour and It was the saddest moment of my life because I couldn’t believe what had happened. How I just lost $438.000.00 within a period of 3 months to this scammer. I reported to the authorities and there weren’t helping in anyways to help me recover my lost fund. I had lost at a point and was falling into depression until I came across an article online about Ethical hackers and their expertise in recovering BTC. I search for one and that’s when I discovered ROOTKITS SPAMMER. A hacker who could help me recover my funds, to my surprise ROOTKITS SPAMMER was able to trace and recouped every penny I thought I had lost. I am sharing this with the world because ROOTKITS saved my life and my career. Contact them at (spammer (@) fastservice.com) or +351 920 258 835
