All my life, all i wanted to do was play hockey. It was how I was raised. Being the youngest of 4 children, and the only girl, I quickly learned how to stand my ground and that you should NEVER back down. My brothers tought me how the game works, how players should think, and most importantly, how to punch. I quickly was the best defence around. I was tough, rough, and I never backed down from a fight. But it wasn't always easy. I was always getting hate because I was the only girl who played hockey in our town, but I proved them wrong when I got into my first fight. I gave the kid a black eye and a broken nose. I would be lying if I said that my brothers weren't proud of me. I was proud of myself too. So, this is the story of how I, Skylar Purdie, came to be the best female hockey player of all time.
