Blake Gaudette tough life [2/2]

[Gaudette 65]

After being born in Halifax Blake Gaudette moved to Boston with his mother and father and brother Adam Gaudette. He never was good at shapes or numbers it even took six years to potty train him. When he was young at the age of two his father passed away due to Cancer and he couldn't stand it and wasn't able to function properly for two years. He would sit there all day and not move his mother had to bring him to the hospital a lot to check if he had depression or anything like that.

At the age of five he started kindergarten and a lot of the kids enjoyed playing the sport hockey at his school. His brother Adam was already playing it but Blake never thought he would be a good athlete. He asked his mother if he could get a pair of skates. He instantly was good at it and knew how to hold a stick properly after being his brothers goalie for one year. 

He started playing for the Boston Jr. Bruins with his brother Adam. They were playing on the top line for there team but school was always rough for Blake he was always behind his fellow friends and couldn't ever get his work done. But hockey was his get away from everything and it relaxed him.

Blake moved back to Halifax with his Mother and Brother at the age of seven and played for the Cape Breton Seals. He got 74 goals in 21 games which is insane for a seven year old but it was the first time he played without his brother Adam and he met a man by the name of Sidney Crosby who was his main friend on his team from and is still his best friend as of today. 

At the age of nine his mother sadly passed away and they had to move to Vancouver to live with there Aunt. And Gaudette took a year off of playing hockey and focused on school but wasn't able to succeed like he hope he would and dropped out at the age of nine which took a massive toll on all of his skills and it was VHL or bust for him, So he got back into hockey and every night he would be working on his shot to be like his hero Gordie Howe but he wasn't able to be as tough as him.

At the age of thirteen his brother Adam decided to go to the NHL instead of the VHL and his brother was selected by the Vancouver Canucks in 2015 and once that happened Blake didn't know what league he wanted to go to and decided to go back into school to try and graduate to get a diploma. He was in grade four at the age of thirteen which was really rough for him because he was always the weird kid that everyone made fun of because he was to big and bulky.

It was 2017 now and he was offered a contract by Oslo of the VHLM and was finally about to live his dream as a VHL player and with Oslo he wasn't the best performer but he did only play a couple of games but he was determined to win a founders cup and never got that shot with Oslo who was about to relocate to Minnesota that next season but he wanted the Oslo fans to win and was upset when they were out of the running.

Before the VHLM draft his Aunt Uncle and brother Adam all passed away in a plane crash trying to make it to Halifax where Blake lived to visit him for him birthday and Blake was ready to retire from hockey and focused more on school and go to college like his brother Adam would want him to do. But he got a call from Sidney Crosby and Crosby told him how he should live out his dream and go to the VHL a Descion Crosby never did as he went to the NHL instead to be one of the most dominate players in history but the missing hole that was not having any family left and no one to fall back on.

He was drafted by Halifax twenty ninth overall in the VHLM draft and from that moment he was happy he was able to play in his hometown that he lived in for most of his hard ran life but he really needed to succeed in his first season he started the season on a line with Nacho and Edvin two great players for the Halifax twenty first but after twenty or so games he was taken off the great line in Halifax and had to try and earn chemistry with other players but he was taken off lines and swapped to other lines and never was able to stay with the same players for longer then twenty five games and it was tough for him to get chemistry with the players so he had a massive slump in the middle of the season only getting seven points in the final fifty five games of the season.

He was selected by Mexico City in the VHLM Expansion draft but was quickly traded back to Halifax to continue his dream as playing for his hometown team. He is about to finally live his dream and get drafted by a VHL team but he is staying in Halifax for one last season to try and get his founder cup which he believes will happen in Halifax, he is also shaping up to be the type of player he always wanted to be in a sniper like player and is hoping to score a lot of goals like he did before as a little kid that hasn't been able to transition but he also wants to set up his teammates and after his hard life as a child he is ready to play this season!

Review:

Well this was very interesting... A lot of twists and turns the whole way. There's a lot of backstory here. Blake's story is really quite sad given the fact that all of his family died before he even finished school. Plus side is he gets to play for his hometown team which is a nice touch. I like the added bit of being friends with Crosby being another Halifax (Cole Harbour technically) native. Only negative i have to add is that you had quite a few run on sentences that went for 3 or 4 lines with only commas to space it all out. If you work on that a bit I see potential for you to be a good writer in the VHL.

@Gaudette

Only thing I'd add is that it looks messy. Try to space out the paragraphs, maybe even adding in headings, etc.
