Hockey party

Q: Describe the highlights of your hockey party.

A: My favorite part was just playing hockey with friends and having a good time. The highlights were when we were skating (Dagleys & us) and the Geigers came to join us. Basically, I just liked the whole thing and hope to do it again sometime with a whole bunch of friends, and get better at hockey.

Q. Describe how a game of hockey is played.

A. Official hockey is played indoors on ice rinks. There are 6 people with hockey sticks on the ice all the time, and they are trying to get a puck into the goal. A puck is hard, round, black, and about 3" in diameter, and a goal is a steel box with one open end that is 6' long and 4' high. Here is a hockey stick fact, Players used to curve their own blades by heating them in boiling water, with a torch or a blow dryer and then jamming them under a door and pulling up on the stick.

Q: What features of R. M. Ballentine's writing do you enjoy?

A: He wrote in a fast and exiting manner that is very interesting. Mr. Ballentine was very graphic in his writing, and made very exiting, captivating stories. However, his heros were good, honest people with good qualities. This has made his books a favorite in our family, and we will continue reading his books for a long time.
