Jacks POV:

"Ok boys let's get out on the ice and kick some ass."

I was sitting in our locker room listening to my coaches poor attempt at an inspirational speech. I had been zoning in and out of his speech the whole time because honestly I could care less. Tonight's game was a pretty important one. Tonight was the semi-finales, if won this one we'd be playing for the Stanley cup. I guess my coach was finished with his speech because the rest of the team had started putting on their gear again. I went back to lacing up my skates, allowing my mind to wander.  It kept going back to one then though. I had just been dumped by my ex girlfriend two nights ago, and I haven't felt the same since. I almost wasn't going to play tonight's game, but I couldn't bail on my team, they needed me. Playing hockey made me feel alive, it gave me a sense of purpose, but so did she. I sighed and finished putting my hockey gear on. Tonight's game was going to be an interesting one.
