R.C. Sproul

I played tennis.

You know, did all that stuff.

And there was somebody who asked me, R.C., what was your favorite sport when you were growing up as a kid?

I said, that's easy.

The sport I loved more than any other sport was ice hockey.

I mean, I used to get up every morning and go out and look at the thermometer outside our door to see how cold it was, praying that it would stay cold as long as possible so that the rink would be frozen after school and I could go play hockey.

I love to play hockey.

It's my favorite sport.

Now, if you ask me the second question, R.C., of all the sports that you played, which one would you judge to be the one in which you were least proficient?

That's a no-brainer.

Hockey.

I was not a very good hockey player.

I could skate and I could pass, but every time I shoot, I'd fall down face first.

And more than once, I went into the net on my belly, you know, messing up the net and everything.

I was not a good hockey player.

But I had a motivation to play hockey.

I could have gone to one of the professional teams and said, I want to be on your hockey team.

And they say, are you motivated?

Oh, yeah, I love it.

You know, I have a great work ethic.
