Never Quit

Chapter 1

Hudlers POV*

I remember sitting on the bench, game 5 overtime, do or die against the Anaheim Ducks. I watch as the ducks skate into the zone and shoot one low on Ramo, chaos happens in the crease and I think, please don't let it end like this.

October 2014:

The home opener of the Calgary Flames is tomorrow, I think we must make our fans happy and get a win, especially against those Canucks, but it seems as if no one believes in us, like we're gonna finish in the bottom 5 of the standings. I don't think so though, I feel like our team has something special. We can do it!

Game day:

I wake up from my dog licking my face, I told him to get off while grinning, then get off of my bed to call Mony. The phone rings but no answer. An hour or so later and still no answer. Where could he be? I get into my car and get to his house, I knock on his door and he didn't open it, then checked my phone to see a message from Mony. It says "dude, where you at? Morning Skate is starting soon!"

"Oh crap! I forgot!" I yelled out loud. I rushed to my car and grabbed my equipment from home. I then went to the dome as fast as I could, I may of got a speeding ticket. I get my equipment on and start the morning skate, all the boys look hyped, tonight's gonna be a good game! I skate up to Gio and give him a good slash. "What's up Captain? haven't seen you in a while" Gio just giggled and told me to move my butt tonight. He slashed me back. I look back and smile at Gio. He yelled "Watch out!" I questioned it as I skated into the post. Brodie laughed his head off as I fell down, im down on the ice also laughing as hard as I could. "Get up Huds!!" Coach Hartley yells, I bet he laughed too!

The game starts in an hour, we better win is what I think while doing the warm up. I skated in circles shooting the puck on Hiller, after a few shots I skated to the blue line to stretch next to Kassian or whatever is name his on the Canucks. He looks at me and chirps "You better keep your head up or else I'm gone fricken destroy you!" I ignored him. He still wouldn't shut up. "So you're gonna be a pussy? Grow up and fight me this game!" He says, I skated away. "What the hell you were you talking about?" Mony asked. "Nothing" I replied. He looked at me and didn't say a word.

Warm ups are over and it was time to go on the ice and say hi to the flames fan base. The announcer starts, "Ladies and gentlemen. Your Calgaaarry Flaaaaammmmees." I wait there patiently for my turn, I look at Johnny, he gave me a nervous look. "Hey kid, you'll be fine!" I say to him. He looked away. Finally it's my turn. The announcer says my name as I skate onto the ice. This is definitely gonna be a good game. After the introduction was done I line up for the face off. The puck drops and off we go!
