Repost: Athlete of the Day---Adam Banks

Has there ever been a more dominant force in the history of pee wee hockey than Adam Banks? I mean he doesn't quite have Gordon Bombay talent, but he wants it more (to quote Coach Jack Reilly). As we all know, the moment Bombay realized that Banksy actually lived in District 5, he changed Minnesota pee wee and prep school hockey forever. Not to mention the entire fucking world (see D2). Banksy led by example. Remember when Coach Reilly told those two guys to knock Banksy out of the game? They broke his wrist, but the best part was when one of the kids says, "what did you do?" In this like shaky crying mortified tone, and the big kid goes, "my job." Doesn't that seem like they just murdered Banksy? Powerful shit. If you really think about it, weren't they murdering the entire Ducks team? Not on Banksy's watch. As you all know the Ducks rallied and won the title. If it wasn't for Bombay's whack job test to see if Banksy's wrist was okay, they would have been blowing teams out of the water with a true superstar running the show. Banksy's talent was somehow able to turn that city pee wee title into an invitation to represent the United States of America in the world championship. If that doesn't bring a patriotic tear to your eyes then you're not a real American. Cake eaters
