My Hockey Husband

Chapter 38

Adam

Today's the day.

The day I try out for the Wild.

I was in the locker room, I was one of the first people here. I was starting to put on my gear. I was nervous, I couldn't stop shaking. If I make the team, I can finally say my life's complete. I married the girl I love the most, we are going to have a baby boy, to make our family. And I can make my goal in life, to be in the NHL.

I got my hockey pants on, then my chest gear on. I was starting to put my leg pads on. I saw on the corner of my eye, a man- maybe my age maybe older- come to the locker next to me and sit down next to me on the bench. He looked at me. "Aren't you Adam Banks?" He asked. I looked at him, sat up, and nodded.

"Yeah, that's me." He stuck his hand out, and I shook it.

"Hi, I'm Michael Regs. You can call me Mike. I'm a huge fan of yours." I let go of his hand and smiled.

"Hey Mike. What position do you play?" I asked.

"Defenseman. I've played that position ever since I was in the Pee Wees." I nodded.

"Same with right wing. I've played that when I was on the Hawks team." Mike opened his bag and pulled out his hockey pants. I started to put on my elbow pads.

"Hey, I heard about your marriage to Courtney Jane on the news. Congrats." Mike said as he stood up and started to slide into his pants. I smiled and hit my elbow pad with my hand.

"Thanks Mike." He chuckled.

"She's a pretty girl, great hockey player. I'm also a big fan of hers." I nodded.

"Yeah, she really is."

"Is she trying out for the team?" He asked as he sat down. He chuckled a little, shaking his head. "That's a stupid question. I don't think Coach Yeo would let a girl play for his team." I got my skate and started to tie it.

"She can, but she can't."
