Wendel Clark

Wendel Clark (www.images.wikia.com ())

 My name is Jack. I go to Morrisburg public school.  My hero is Wendel Clark because he inspires me and he played in the N.H.L. Also, Wendel Clark is my hero because he played for my favourite hockey team, the Toronto Maple Leafs. Wendel Clark's number on his jersey is 17, one of my favourite numbers. The three reasons why he is my hero are because he shows great sportsmanship, he is inspirational to me, and he shows perseverance.

One reason Wendel Clark is my hero is because he shows perseverance. I know this because when he played the game he made sure he tried and tried till his team won. If his team was losing he persevered till it was a close game or till his team won. If his team lost a game he made sure he had a good game.  If he was going up against a hard team like the Pittsburgh Penguins and Toronto won, Wendel Clark would make sure he did not play a dirty game. He always played a fair game and he would make sure he played hard, persevered and won.

The second reason Wendel Clark is my hero is because he is inspirational to me.  He is inspiring because he helped me make my choice to play hockey. He inspired me to be aggressive with the puck and when I do not have the puck.  He inspired me to be in the N.H.L. when I'm older. Last year I scored twenty-six goals all because of him. I have scored fifteen goals this year because of Wendel Clark's inspiration.

The third reason he is my hero is because he shows great sportsmanship. If he had a bad game and his team lost he would make sure his whole team felt good. If his team was in the playoffs and his team was going to lose, he made sure he was not a sore loser. If he had no chance at winning a game, he would make sure he did better next time. If the other team was unsportsmanlike he would not mouth back.

Wendel Clark was born October 25, 1966. He is a Canadian professional hockey player. He is the best known for playing on the Toronto Maple Leafs. He was the captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs. His nickname is Captain Crunchs because he was tough in hockey.

I think if anyone picked a hockey player as their hero, they should pick Wendel Clark. I think Wendel Clark is the best hockey player in the world. I hope I play as well as Wendel Clark when I'm in the N.H.L. I wonder how many goals Wendel Clark scored. I wonder how many points he got in one year?
