Landon's Hockey

Landon has been fortunate enough to play hockey with some great teams in California and Maine. However, when the chance presented itself to play at BYU hockey he jumped at the opportunity. Being on of the youngest on the team he brought a lot of heart, stamina, and energy. He also brought his fire. BYU has a policy of no fighting, which is practically unheard of collegiate and professional hockey. Landon was known as the one with the temper on his team, but really he said," hockey's about intimidation and if you let the other team push you around, eventually nothing will keep them from walking all over you. You have to step up, be a man, and stand your ground!" Everyone in our family tried to catch as many games as were possible, and even tuned in when they were broadcasted on t.v. We love watching Landon play hockey! We're all so dramatic and boisterous, we really get into games, and are awesome to have on the sidelines cheering! One of my favorite quotes from son, was about his jersey number. Ever since he was little he's always been #17. When asked why that number he responded by saying, "That when he was a famous hockey player, others could look back at his hockey career and also know that #17 was sonomous with Landon Ball." This is like Wayne Gretzski, when he retired, they retired his jersey number along with him. Keep it up son!
