Coaching/Scout

Another job that i would like to do when I'm older is be a hockey coach or scout. i have played hockey for 14 years now. hockey is a really interesting game. i would be a good coach because i have a lot of knowledge of the game. i know different types of offensive and defensive plays. i am also able to pick out weaknesses in the other team that we could use against them.

Sports Broadcaster

A job i want to do when i get older is to be a sports broadcaster. the job involves commenting games and giving a play-by-play of the game. I would want to be like Rick Jeanneret of the buffalo sabres. the job is great. you get to go to games for free. it has to be one of the easiest jobs.

Playoff Prediction?

One team i think that will make the playoffs this year are the Chicago Blackhawks. They were able to pick up all-star defensemen Brian Campbell. Campbell had 8 goals and 54 points in 83 games combined for the Buffalo Sabres and the San Jose Sharks. Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews are now in there second year. After the results of there first season in the NHL, they are looking to be some of Chicago's top players. Another important player in the line-up for the Blackhawks is Martin Havlat. This is 8th season in the NHL. Along with picking up Campbell over the summer, the Blackhawks were able to pick up goaltender Cristobal Huet. Huet will assume the position of starting goalie now making Nikolai Khabibulin the backup. Rumors have been going around that Khabibulin is looking for options to be traded to another club at the starting goalie position. This is his 13th season in the NHL. With Kane, Toews, Havlat, Campbell and Huet, the Blackhawks have a good shot of making the playoffs this year.
