Which Brings us to Draft Day

[Kyle1778]

Draft Day:

This is the day where playing for your childhood teams could be achieved or defeated. This is where champions start. Waiting in the stands at the Bell Centre was a tough thing to do. Watching superstars go up to the podium and putting on that jersey, you want to do that yourself.

During christmas, I was projected to be in the First Round, and was selected to play on Team Canada's successful "Drive for Five" Team. But after the tourney, my play went downhill slightly and everybody else got better, dropping me to where I am now.

At the begining of round 2, I was ready to get drafted, thinking that the projection of lower 2nd round could be incorect. Then the Oilers went up to the podium.

"I Steve Tambilni of the Edmonton Oilers, select 40th overall,.."
My fingers crossed hoping for the Next words to be Kyle Anderson...
"We select Zach Budish of Edina High School".

Damn.

But then the Unexpected happened.

The Pitsburgh Penguins walk up to the podium, with a few of there other draft picks.

"We the Pittsburgh Penguins, are proud to select 50th overall in the NHL Entry Draft, from the Windsor Spitfires, Kyle Anderson."

I almost jumped three feet in the air when I heard Windsor, but then to hear my name called, I did, I was overwhelmed with happiness with my family gathering around me, and congrauating me on being drafted, and I walked up to the podium and recieved my New Teams Jersey.
