Logan

The second half of October slammed into Logan at full speed, but he couldn’t be angry at the start of hockey season. The first two games ended up being away games, so Logan stuffed a note into Ava’s locker promising her uninterrupted rink time . . . even while she was out of town for Skate America.

Two weeks barely passed, yet their truce alleviated any tension about rink scheduling.

In the locker room, Logan studied everyone in their game-day jerseys. He loved its color palette of French blue, dark navy, crisp white, and the occasional stripe of gray to match the wolf’s head printed on their chests. The shifting blur of movement inspired a well of pride in his chest, proud to be among his wolves.

Logan set his skates down when stepping onto the bench, drawing the eyes of his team. But when the conversations continued, he commanded the room to silence with a sharp whistle. The locker room obeyed, leaving only the sound from the stands trickling in through the glass doors.

“The last few months, you guys trusted me and the process. You didn't complain too much about frequent practices or switching the schedule. I’d say the practices and changes have worked out for the better . . .” said Logan.

From inside the crowd, Dominic whooped, “I sense an undefeated season on the way!”

Logan fought a smile when a roar of excitement leaped out from the team because of the ongoing win streak. He wasn’t as convinced about an undefeated season, but Logan firmly believed in the team’s ability to kick ass.

With tonight as the first home game of the season, their families would be in the stands and ready to cheer them on. More than games one and two, which they won, the team needed to play the best games of their careers. Losing the home rink advantage might kick the boost of morale in the teeth.

He cleared his throat, “Right, but tonight’s competition is on our turf. We have the advantage and can’t blow it because we got too cocky. I know every one of you is ready for us to start winning. So, let’s go out there and show the Bristol Buffalos how mighty the wolf pack is.”

“Awoooooooo!" All the guys tipped their heads back and howled louder than Logan had heard in years, and he joined them in the howl. The locker room walls shook from the sound of skaters, hungry to win.

Logan stepped off the bench. He clapped some guys on the shoulders while he passed, checking their gear and flashing a thumbs-up in approval. He needed his skates and helmet before he marched the guys out for the warm-up.

He had a special guest waiting in the audience for him. He snuck out of the locker room and hustled along the side of the rink, heading for the upper level. He saluted when a few people in the bleachers shouted his name or number, greeting the friendly spectators. The bleachers filled with mostly Waybrook
