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

FINALLY I GOT MY LOST BITCOIN BACK ALL THANKS TO TSUTOMU SHIMOMURA
Hello everyone I want to use this Medium to say big thank you to TSUTOMU SHIMOMURA for they helped me recover my stolen crypto worth $250,000 through their hacking skills I tried it I was skeptic but it worked and I got my money back, I’m so glad I came across them early because I thought I was never going to get my money back from those fake online investment . you can contact them via WEBSITE: https://tsutomushackexpert.com/ or WhatsApp via: +12569564498, or Telegram @TsutomuShimomurahacker, and I’m sure you will be happy you did.
It started with a promise too good to be true an online crypto investment platform that claimed guaranteed returns of 10% a week. The website was sleek, the representatives sounded convincing, and everything looked legitimate. I invested cautiously at first, but as small returns rolled in, I got comfortable. Too comfortable. Over the span of three weeks, I transferred $126,000. Then, just like that, the website disappeared. No more contact. My stomach dropped. I had fallen for a scam. Panic turned into despair until a friend recommended Malice Cyber Recovery. I was skeptical. After all, who helps recover crypto? Isn’t it gone once it’s gone? But from the first moment I contacted them, Malice was different. They didn’t make false promises. Instead, they explained how their cyber team worked alongside blockchain analysts and legal experts to trace and recover stolen digital assets. I handed over the transaction records, wallet addresses, and all communication with the scammers. Within a few days, they had traced the funds through a web of wallets. With the evidence they compiled, they coordinated with crypto exchanges and legal authorities. Weeks passed. Then came the message I’d been hoping for: “We’ve recovered your funds.” Not all of it yet but a staggering $97,000 was already returned to my cold wallet. Malice assured me they were continuing the chase for the remaining amount, and their transparency throughout made me trust the process. Thanks to Malice Cyber Recovery, what I thought was a total loss became a lesson and a story of hope.
