Quebecers have a long history. They are a huge and a proud nation. There are many events or people that can be an example to represent Quebec. We can be proud at Celine Dion, who is a model of perseverance in the entire world; there is also Guy Laliberté, a Quebecer who has founded the “Cirque du Soleil” with almost nothing. But, the most important thing that we must associate to Quebec is the Montreal Canadian hockey team. This mythic team isn’t just there for the distraction, it is the reflection of our nation, it’s a kind of a personification of us. I will explain you the importance and the link between this hockey team and the Quebecers.
First of all, the Canadians of Montreal exists since 1909; we can say that they have a long story. They are the winners of 24 Stanley cups and one time, they won 5 ones in a row, they are really champions. Some Quebecers were and are in this team like the legend, Maurice Richard, who played in 1942-1960. He beaten some records in this time, he scored 500 goals and more in his life, he was the “Rocket”. The Canadians team is one of the better hockey team in the history of the National Hockey League, they are huge.
When we take the time to look at this mythic team, we can clearly see the nation of Quebec in it. If this team has won 5 Stanley cups in a row, it’s because they have worked hard, like us, the Quebecers. This team is a symbol of courage, perseverance and training, because they have always given their 100% on the ice. We can be proud, because when they play a game, they represent us and they give all their heart to be sure that the nation of Quebec can be proud of them. They have their down and their up like everyone, but they never give up. They are a part of Quebec's culture, because they define us as a big team that will always be there to help his members. The Montreal Canadians hockey team is us; we make one!
To conclude, we can be proud of this team and of ourselves, because together we are a great nation with its qualities and his defaults and we assume responsibility for them.

You don’t need the article ‘the’ unless you specify ‘the province of Quebec’…
Your topic is correct J.M. but you REALLY should pass this article through a spell and grammar check and then have one or two friends read it with you to help you to find and correct your errors. As written, your grammatical errors will hurt your grade. You still have time to help yourself do better. Why am I the only ‘follower’ of your blog, you have friends, ask them to add your blog to their ‘reading list’, lol! One of the points is for you guys to help each other!
