Before heading to Miami to play hockey in the VHLM. Ipo needed to learn how to skate. He did play roller hockey so it’s almost the same, but he did participate in summer Skating lessons.  His dream was playing hockey in the big league the VHL but he knew that he had to be better with his skating. Practicing skating with a personal coach had really helped him. But to train in needed to go to the Oahu island the arena is named the Palace and is the only ice skating arena in all Hawaii. Its was in this arena were he did skate for the first time when he was 12, Ipo was already playing roller hockey at this age and was more talented them most kids of his age, but he really wanted to learn how to skate, because he saw a lot of Sharks, Kings and Ducks games who was playing at the supper time for him. The skating lesson gave some work to Ipo to do all the drills. After each day he was taking a freezing bath to try to release the muscle in his legs. The first month was more focused on skating alone without the puck, acceleration, speed, tight corner turn and skating from behind was the main focus. The second month was the same thing but with the puck, Ipo main focus was to try to impress some VHLM scouts he did talk to the Hawaiian local press. 

 

Ipo what's that training bring to you and do you think it’s going to have a huge difference on your skill with and without the puck? 

 

The Press Ask 


- Well I think that my coach really pushed me to my limits and we are not done yet. I’m going to use that training to help make some space when I have the puck or create space around me when I’m without the puck.

The final month was mostly some drills with the pucks and they also added a little shooting drills to finish the camp with Ipo is more known for his shooting then anything else in Hawaii but he needed to have multiple arrows to his bows to make him even more of an offensive player. 

 

Now in Miami Ipo has scored his first goal with the franchise using his quick release to put the puck behind the goaltender. He is working really hard to help this team make the playoffs. With only 3 games left in the season, Miami is still in a huge fight with Mexico And Vegas for the last two spots in the playoffs. With both Miami and Mexico having 63 points but Miami have 4 more wins then them and Vegas are only three points ahead of them. It’s a fight over who is going to finish the last game. Miami is playing against Halifax, Mississauga and Minnesota for their last three games and will try to win most of them. Only a couple of days before the playoff starts and I can sense each player and teams who are more and more excited to play.

Great job for you’re first media. I saw some mistakes but I’m pretty sure most of them are typpo. The paragraph structure is well done, only things is the title before the press or Ipo talk put them before the talking. Because it was a bit weird not huge but can confuse some people. Except that I love the stories and hope Ipo is ready to play. 7/10
