    Hello
    I want to tell you I went to a cinema yesterday, with my husband. we saw "Number 17." This is film about the first meet Soviet hockey team with Canada. It was a great event in a field of international relations and world sport. I like sport but what about hockey....I look mainly  important competitions - Olimpyc Games,  world Championships and games with team 'Amur" (this is team of our city). Also I want to Russian cinema was powerful and interesting. What is why I decided to see this film. I have no any regrets about it! It's my subjective opinion the film is cool! I got a lot of emotions. I even applauded. I know there some moments are not true . but the idea itself is great! We watched this match on the internet today. I think they are hero those people whom could to overcome their fear of the real champions, great players. Those guys  came to the country where everybody knew they are losers. and they were able to get up courage and won. Of course there were many players which are great - Tretyak, Kharlamov, Zimin, Petrov and others, and of course players from Canadian team. I hope our hockey will be such powerful and interesting as in the USSR. Don't think this just a trying to remember one moment from the past and I'm glad of this, no. I think our sportsmen do many great things! And I believe they will win many times. I hope our young hockey players will want to be such great men like Kharlamov and others, not for money but for love to hockey itself.

    Hello JamarriJa.
    Seraph's check is a good one. Here's my own try, just so you have more than one to think about.
    1. Green one. Only small changes.
    I'd like to tell you I went to the cinema yesterday with my husband. We saw "Number 17." This is a film about the first meeting between the Soviet and Canadian hockey teams. It was a great event in the fields of international relations and world sport. I like sport, but what about hockey? ....I mainly watch important competitions - Olympic Games, World Championships and games with 'Amur' (this is the team of our city). Also, I want to tell you Russian cinema is powerful and interesting, which is why I decided to see this film. I have no regrets about it! It's my subjective opinion that the film is cool! I felt a lot of emotions. I even applauded. I know there were some moments that were not true, but the idea itself was great!
    We watched this match on the internet today. I think they are heroes, those people who could overcome their fear of real champions and great players. Those guys went to a country where everyone thought they were losers. They were able to work up their courage, and they won. Of course, there were many players which were great - Tretyak, Kharlamov, Zimin, Petrov and others, and of course players from the Canadian team.
    I hope our hockey will be as powerful and interesting as it was in the USSR. Don't think of this as only one single moment in the past that I'm glad of, no. I think our sportsmen do many great things! And I believe they will win many times. I hope our young hockey players will want to be as great as Kharlamov and others, not for money but for the love of hockey itself.


    2. Or like this. Some more changes here. A bit more complex.
    I'd like to tell you about yesterday. I went to the cinema with my husband. We saw Number 17, a film about the first time the Soviet and Canadian hockey teams met. This was a great event in the fields of international relations and world sport. I like sport, and when it comes to hockey I mainly watch the important competitions: the Olympic Games, World Championships and Amur's games (this is our city's team).
    (I'd like to tell you that )Russian cinema is powerful and interesting, which is why I decided to see this film. I don't regret it! It's subjective, but in my opinion this is a cool film! I felt a lot of emotion. I even applauded. I know some moments weren't factually true/ weren't historically true/ weren't accurate/ were fictional, but the general idea was great!
    We watched this match on the internet today. I think those players were heroes, overcoming their fears in the face of real champions and such great opponents. Those guys travelled to a country where everyone thought of them as losers, and they were able to build up their courage and win. Of course, there were many great players - Tretyak, Kharlamov, Zimin, Petrov and the others, and many greats on the Canadian team, too. I hope modern hockey will continue to be as powerful and interesting as it was during the USSR. Don't think of this as only nostalgia, I think our sportsmen today still achieve great things! I believe they will continue to win. I hope our young hockey players want to become as great as men such as Kharlamov, and not for the sake of money, but for the love of hockey itself.

    I hope this is useful! (and by the way, I'm from the UK and I watched a lot of кхл games this year!)
