The guys are killing it tonight against the Lions. I sit beside Coach as he plays the game of chess, moving players on and off the ice. Bozeman skates onto the ice along with Sutter. Two centers on at the same time at the top of the third period. I look at Coach, surprised, even though I know I shouldn’t second guess his decisions. The Lions have a player named Sukov in the penalty box so we get the power play advantage.

Bozeman plays center and drives the puck away, shooting straight for Cole. A player from the Lions swings around Cole and tries to stick handle the puck away from him, but Cole is a calculated player and he passes the puck off to Baynard who ends up with two players tailing him. Baynard evades them for enough time for Ryse to come around and get hold of the puck. Ryse shoots and, fuck yeah, the puck slides into the left corner of the net, just making it past their goalie’s attempt to stop it. I rise and cheer the guys on.

“Fuck yeah,” I shout. My blood is pumping hard. I want to be out there.

Coach throws his fist in the air. “That’s how it’s done,” he cheers. Then he gives me a look. “You want out there, bad.” It isn’t a question.

“I do,” I admit.

“Next game you’re on,” he says to me.

“Seriously? Thank you.” I grin. Damn, I feel like I can hug him.

“Just bring you’re A game,” he says.

“That’s the plan,” I say.

Cole switches off the ice and Dec goes on. The Lions are known for playing rough and sometimes act shady under the noses of the refs. There isn’t anything to do about it; it’s part of the game, and some players are just competitive assholes.

Baynard is also pulled from the ice and I smack him on the back. “Good play.”

I refocus on the ice where Dec gets hold of the puck and has two guys trailing him. One of them hip checks him into the boards but the ref doesn’t call a penalty. Dec loses the puck. The Lions carry the puck back to center ice when Thompson sweeps in and steals it. He sends it directly to Ryse. Ryse is tailed by a player named Miller from the other team. Miller is a beast of a guy. He’s huge and he’s also known for his dirty tricks. Shit, Ryse, don’t let him close in on you. Ryse shoots the puck toward Sutter, and Miller tails him from behind and knocks him down. The ref calls a penalty with only two minutes left in the game. The score is one-zero for us. The crowd boos, but I would expect nothing else. Miller is a crowd favorite, but with him out of the equation the guys have a better chance of winning this thing.

Ryse takes the penalty shot and I hold my breath. A goal now would give us a little breathing room. He misses the shot, but that’s okay.
