Goonan [2/2]

[Walter Fizz 84]

The Life of a Legend

Goonan was born 16 years ago on March 8th. He was born in Lund, Sweden to a beer hockey legend  working farming family. He grew up in a remote area, but always knew there was something besides farming that he could be good at. He would constantly happen to develop a growth of unknown speed which helped him in many things moving into the future. 

 

   Lars-Erik was a strange child to his family being the 2nd youngest out of 8 children all which where boys he was the only one who didn’t enjoy farm work. For most of his life he slept near animals until his family could afford money. He doesn’t talk much about his mother so much is unknown about her to this day. His interest of finding something he could be passionate about grew very strong. He didn’t always think of anything else. The thought took a while till he figured out what he would do. 

 

  Lars-Erik didn’t think much about this after a while giving the idea up until he stumbled upon arts which he found fascinating. He didn’t enjoy it after practicing for a month and gave up on it. Then he had an idea to look up the best sports in the world. It would take a while to find for him since most sports in Sweden that are well known are Soccer/Football, Golf, Gymnastics, and Tennis. Then he saw it Ice Hockye he wasn’t familiar with the term so he took a deep dive and he found his greatest passion on the face of a screen. He saved up after months and bought gear good enough to be used. 

 

 

More scoring less Goon

Lars started and still to this day plays the position as a defensemen he has been known as a TWD but fits the style more of a DFD. He hasn’t however been known as an enforcer or anything close to an enforcer. While he could tally up a decent amount of hits he wasn’t known for getting out there for fights. Wasn’t known protecting most of his teammates and keeping a much cleaner game. Of course this could be used to gain a good reputation but it also made Lars-Erik made fun of the other kids who thought a defensemen some coaches called great was just a wuss and couldn’t make any pro league. He took this in for motivation in his life and remembers why he should keep going.

 

 Lars continued to impress constantly being a point per game defensemen. He also seemed to work on enlightening the mod when farming with his family and realized sometimes even though it’s not the greatest thing ever, you should always try to make the best of things. He followed this rule that he uses in life in key situations. He has always constantly thought to himself that you can’t be positive about something you hate, but this changed his mind. In a good way of course. This goes to show that you can develop as a player and a human being using one key. To put it into an example for instance if Goonan was having a terrible game even though he can’t make the game perfect all of the sudden he can still have a good/half decent attitude about it. 

 

 Lars at first really didn’t have a high belief on hockey being his true talent as he did now. Then he realized he had a knack for being a great hockey player. Of course he realized the hard work and even harder task ahead of him. Yet he realized this was his dream, if he wanted to accomplish his dream he’d have to surpass the expectations do what it takes if it’s not illegal, and make his way to the top one day. One step at a time. If many other people could achieve his dream why can’t he is what he thought to himself, and he knew he could eventually reach the extremely hard yet achievable mark.

 

We're getting close to the end

Lars-Erik has surely down throughout these few years. For nearly every season he had played an organized season of hockey he had donned the C on his jersey and wore it proudly. He had grown into a solid frame by the age 13 at 5'10 and 145 lbs. Still not a physical threat, but good enough to look like a hockey player. He had matured over the years and looked closer to his dreams then ever. He was already projected to be a top prospect for any league that he would choose to join whether the NHL, SHL, KHL, GOMHL, the other SHL, and the VHL. He was clearly a hit or miss prospect though, and he still thought it was a great chance for himself and whoever drafted him. 

 

Lars at this point had his eyes sent on the SHL, NHL, and VHL. He knew he had to make a decision so he crossed out the SHL and chose to ignore it. He decided he could just wait another year or so seeing vhl eligibility starts at 16 the age he was approaching given 3 years. Time passed on he was proving himself on the ice that he could take down some of the best prospects that he could face in his country of Sweden. As time passed he realized he didn’t have to think of his dream because at this point it had become reality. Even if he had a major injury he could still easily be a mid round pick and show potential to a franchise. By this time 2 years had ended and he was 15. He had posted on social media that he’d declare for the VHLM once eligible of age. 

 

The Decision

For The people questioning why the other section isn’t called the decision you’ll see soon. The time had come the news arrived that he was eligible and VHLM GMs where notified the first offer that Lars saw was Las Vegas where he would get first pair minutes. He quickly accepted and took the 1.5 million dollars. His road to hockey is coming to a near end. He has yet to make his VHLM debut, but it will be some time soon. That is the end for the story.

Review: Interesting story, with some funny moments throughout (couldn't afford money made me laugh haha). There are quite a few grammar mistakes throughout, kind of distracting to read, for me. Overall it was good to learn more about your player and to expand his story!

Review: It's a fulfilling and neat bio. As Jack said, there are a few spelling errors that break the story and kinda off puts the reader and along with that, the punctuation is kinda off in some places. An example being the line that talks about Lars getting into hockey, ("Then he saw it Ice Hockye") has no comma that indicates a stop in the sentence and makes it into a run on (Along with the obvious misspelling).

I'd that this is a nice story, but what can be taken away from this review is that for future writing, be sure to proofread and fix errors you spot in your work before sending it out.
