I’ll get her back–don’t you worry.”

Nish might have been talking to himself. He was flat on his back, wearing only his boxer shorts, his sleeping bag kicked off to the side and his pillow covered with candy wrappers: Tootsie Roll, Mars Bar, Mr. Big, Milky Way. In Nish’s opinion, a four-course meal.

The boys had woken early. There was so much going on during the Little Stanley Cup, it seemed there was no time left for sleeping. They’d been up until midnight watching the Canada Day fireworks on Parliament Hill–the greatest display of brilliant colour and raw noise that Travis had ever experienced–and this morning they had been roused at 7:30 to get ready for their first practice. It was, for the Screech Owls, even better than a game, for they were going to skate on the Corel Centre ice and use the same dressing room as the Ottawa Senators.

Travis lay in the big, army-style tent, half-listening to Nish ramble on about getting his revenge on Sam, and half-watching the sunlight play over the tent. The light seemed to pour through a thousand pinpricks in the canvas–yet it had rained during the night and they’d remained warm and dry.

“But how?” Andy finally asked Nish.

Travis winced. The worst mistake you could make with Nish was to lead him on. The others in the tent–Fahd, Jesse, Lars, and Dmitri–knew it too, but Andy had been unable to resist.

“I’m not sure yet,” Nish answered, then giggled softly to himself. “But it’ll be good, real good, I promise you that.”

Travis closed his eyes, not even daring to imagine what schemes were racing through his best friend’s twisted little brain.

The sun was now so strong on the tent, it seemed Travis’s eyelids had been spray-painted red from the inside.

It was already getting too hot–he could hardly wait to hit the ice.
