‘You’re doing real well,’ Grant said to the team at the end of the second period.

The score was still one-all, but the Panthers were looking tired. Their squad was smaller than Reading’s, and they didn’t have the option to change players around so much.

‘We need another goal,’ Robyn told them seriously.

‘I’m done,’ Mickey announced, drinking water like it was going out of fashion.

‘Me too. My knees are on fire,’ Wade said, supporting his side with his hands.

‘I have ankle that feel like large rock hit it,’ Henrik announced, holding up his skate as if everyone could see.

‘Anyone else got any complaints? Because I thought you were an ice hockey team and not a ladies’ club,’ Robyn shouted at them.

No one dared answer back.

‘Now, what we need to do is hold up their attackers and at every opportunity get the puck to Henrik. He’s your main front man. Everyone else… I want you to consolidate their attack. That’s all,’ Robyn instructed them.

‘Their number fourteen’s carrying an injury,’ Brad informed everyone.

‘Then take him out. It isn’t rocket science, guys, is it? We can beat them, they’re nothing special. I have no idea how they’re top of the league if they play like this every week. We’re better than them,’ Robyn told her team.

‘She’s got a hundred dollars on us to win,’ Cole spoke up.

‘A hundred dollars! You’re kidding me! Are you crazy?’ Mickey exclaimed as the players all turned to stare at Robyn.

‘You promised you wouldn’t tell them!’

‘What were the odds?’ Brad inquired.

‘Fifty to one.’

‘Oh man! You get five thousand dollars if we win?’ Mickey said excitedly.

‘What is odds?’ Henrik wanted to know.

‘I put that bet on because I have faith in you. Don’t prove me to be as stupid as the bet sounds,’ Robyn said as the team huddled close together.

‘A hundred dollars,’ Brad said shaking his head at her.

‘Oh, easy come, easy go,’ Robyn replied with a smile.
