"We will work hard and we're gonna succeed. Nothing will bring us down. If we fall, we'll get up and try it again. Way to get over on your edge there, Connie! Good, Portman, good. Soft hands." He complemented as they continued with more practice.

"Coach. Coach, i know with Banks out, we got a roster slot open." Charlie said coming into coaches office "Yeah?" "You know how I always told you I'd make a better coach than a player? I did some scouting for us. Come on in!"

"Russ Tyler. Coach Bombay." Charlie introduced the two "Hiya, Coach."  "Russ Tyler, huh. Well, Russ, what can you do for the team?" "You never heard of my knucklepuck?" "Knucklepuck? No." Charlie and Russ looked at each other smiling with an arm around one another.

"U.S.A. leading Russia two-to-one here in the third period. Over here. Russ Tyler, Team U.S.A. 's newest member from Los Angeles calling for the puck. He gets it." "it's knucklepuck time." "He winds up. He shoots. He scores.!"
- "Yeah!"
- "Yeah! Alright"

"I told him no visitors, but he wanted to congratulate you anyway."
- "That's Wayne Gretzky!"
- "Can i shake your hand?"
- "How ya doin'?"
- "This is The Great One."
- "Wayne's fine."
"Say, hockey." "Hockey!" They all say as the photographer took the picture.

"You play well! You have amazing skill it's impressive, you have real potential." He said with a smile as Rivers eyes lit up while her face flushed a light crimson. She thanked him and he eventually left. Once he left the three girls jumped up and down. "I can't believe that just happened!"

"Powered by a one goal victory over Russia Team U.S.A. hockey advances to the finals of the Junior Goodwill Games where they'll go up against the top-seeded team from Iceland."

"Coach, shouldn't we have our hockey gear on?" Asked Luis and the team agreed "Guys, this is our last team practice, which means-"

"-The return of Captain Blood." River joked as Averman added sound effects "dun dun duunn" "No." Coach smiled "it means, let's have some fun." The team got all excited and they started to play around with a beach ball coach brought.

"Woahhh" Luis yelped crashing into River and Connie landing right on top of Riv. His face got hot because of the proximity between the two and all he did was stare.

"Alright Mr. ProStopper, can you please get off now" she somewhat whimpered out to the boy laying on top of her still sore body earning a few chuckles from the group around them and a good breath of air. "Sorry, bout' that" Luis blurted after getting up and taking her with him now having a hand behind his neck.

"Nah, don't worry about it, lover boy" She grinned teasing him a bit shoving him on the shoulder playfully. "Alright, now come in con, try spinning your legs first" River quipped getting back to teaching Connie how to do a simple trick "like this?" Connie spins around but stops with one of her legs out to the side.

"yeah! That's good now if there were a puck there you wou-" she got interrupted as the beach ball rolled out from coach's hands and ended up in Stanssons, the coach of the Iceland team "playtimes over we have the ice now, you and your little rink rats can leave"

Averman rolled his eyes "what a party pooper" "way to ruin the fun, man" River agreed getting back into the group with Connie. The coaches had a one on one as the teams watched. Eventually everyone went back to their dorms getting some rest before the big game.

It was thundering that night and River was still up shuffling around in her bed. She decided to go to the snack bar and make something to eat. Going down the small steps that were next to her bed as slow as possible, trying not to wake anyone.
