"Great day for hockey ain't it?" "Sure is cowboy!" Jesse replied to Dwayne in a mockingly manner. Dwayne pushed Jesse down as he skated away, later getting knocked down himself by Fulton giving Luis a chance to take the puck.

"Hey! Hey! Take it easy man" "slow down!" Goldberg kept repeating, "Goldberg look out!" Coach warned as Luis skated straight towards the net not stopping. "Ohhh nooo!!" They both said as Luis crashed into the net "Thanks for breaking my fall" "Anytime" Goldberg sarcastically remarked giving him a slight smile with wide eyes.

Going for a breather Coach asks the team "haven't you been training in the off season?" "You know? I knew we forgot something" Averman answers taking a drink of his water before skating back on the ice.

As soon as Adam was getting close to scoring, the last second River took a chance to defend and blocked it a foot away from the goal. She smiled as she took the puck between his legs and skated to the ducks side of the ice. Avoiding the rest of the ducks she passed it to ken which then passed it back to her when she was close to the goal, and she scored. Making that 0-2(if Luis's goal counted).

The two teams went against each other and this game went on for a bit changing the scores 0-5, a score from River again, Matt, and dean, that's is until Fulton hit the puck and it went flying around the place finally picking a target.
"Duck!"
"That's right the ducks" that was the last thing Mr. T heard and said before he got knocked out by Fulton's puck.
"Hello? Mr. Tibbles?
Mr. Tibbles?
Mr. Tibbles, can you hear me?
Mr. Tibbles, wake up.
Oh, Mr. Tibbles, are you all right?" "Oh, uh, i-i'll have the cheeseburger, fries, and a chocolate shake, please" he replied waking up oblivious to the situation. "I think he'll be okay." "We'll keep an eye on him." "And we'll keep the puck off him" a kid commented "Oh, i'm sorry. He didn't have a chance to introduce us." Miss MacKay began "i'm Michele MacKay, their tutor." "Hi, i'm Coach Bombay, their coach." "Who said we need a tutor?" Adam commented, several "yeahs" indicated the teams agreement. "Now, Miss MacKay, we're America's team here. Shouldn't we just be concentrating on hockey? May i suggest optional attendance?" Goldberg said trying to convince their tutor to compromise.
- "i agree."
- "Yeah. Good idea."
"Well, that's not a bad idea." She replied  "Call me Goldberg." "Goldberg. Yes. School will be optional." Smiling she carried on the sentence "However - However, should you not attend, you will not be eligible to play."
- "Oh, that's unfair.!"
- "Man, can she do that?"

Coach and Miss. M started walking across the ice starting a conversation "Well, i'm just here to tutor the kids and provide them with a little adult supervision." And ironically enough River, Guy, Jesse, and Fulton crashed a truck into the walls.
- "Oh, my gosh!"
- "Oh!"
"That was awesome, are you okay?" "Yes, all right!"
"Sorry" Guy shouted "Yeah, sorry" Fulton backed up "We're okay" Jesse said reassuring the adults "but the wall isn't" River said under her breath as the team gathered outside the locker rooms because of the commotion.

They started to really practice together as a team and began to slowly figure it out. "You guys are starting to look like hockey players, I'm proud of ya team" you worked hard today, but hockey should also be fun" "Rancher Dwayne." Coach said attempting to speak in a southern accent.

"Yes sir!" "Round me up some stray cattle there" Coach stays continuing the,not very good, accent. A few "uh-ohs" here and there were heard from the team as Dwayne got up spinning his rope around in perfect circles, "my pleasure" he smiled.

They all started skating away while Dwayne caught up with each of them one by one. River was on one side of the ice and Matt was on the other they kept making eye contact while going in circles.

They would exchange glances and would smile every time. Dwayne got close to River causing her to skate away laughing and ducking down. Matt kept staring at River, she looked nice, her laugh sounded sweet and he loved her smile. Suddenly he felt a rope around his waist, Dwayne had caught him. He skated back behind the bench watching her for a little while longer.

"Ta-da!" Mr.T beamed "oh! That's awesome" River said, impressed. "Hey y'all. That's us!" Dwayne pointed to the Wheaties box" "duh, whatta you know?" Fulton mocked as the team laughed.

"Today,it's a Wheaties box. Tomorrow, it's video games, action figures, lunch boxes. The sky is the limit. Now, just to make sure that everybody knows who you are...try on one of these." They were the new USA Jerseys. "- Brought to you by those wonderful people at Hendrix for all your hockey needs."

"Matt, there you go. Coach. Everybody take your own. I'm not gonna give 'em out to everybody." "Oh that's so cool!" Matt said, and he was right, they were cool jerseys but to Charlie the ducks were cooler.

"That's nice, Coach, but we're Ducks. This stuff says "Hendrix" all over it." He complained in a soft tone. "Well, yeah, they're, our sponsors, Charlie." "So what? Can't we be U.S.A. Ducks? Or at least keep our own colors?" "it's business stuff, Charlie, don't worry about it." Coach got up "I love 'em!" He went to talk with Mr.T.
