THE LIFE OF A HOCKEY SISTER

CHAPTER 1

That night at dinner I can't stop going on about the trip we're going on tomorrow.

"What do you think it will be like? Will we get to hangout with the boys a lot?"

"Angie!" My brother Grant cuts me off. "Shut up! I'm the hockey player and you're more excited than me." 

Grant's my older brother. He's a freshman in high school and he's an obsessive hockey player. He's always training, shooting, stick handling you name it, he does anything that can improve his game. This is Grant's first year playing for our school, The Southview Lions.

"Grant this is my first time leaving the country! Excuse me for being excited!" He rolls his eyes. Grant can sometimes be a little much.

"We're just going to Toronto." he says like it's no big deal.

"Toronto Canada!" I say.

"Alright alright!" Mom says intervening. "Both of you chill out! Angie how about you go finish packing?" Mom suggests.

"Gladly!" I say leaving the table and going up to my room.  

Even though what Grant said is true, hockey is my life. I'm even named after a famous female hockey player. Angela James, my nickname's Angie though. Angela James was an amazing hockey player, she was one of the first females in the Hockey Hall of Fame.   

I go and grab the list of things I need off my endtable. I glance at the family photo of my family sitting there. I live with my family in our nice 2 story town house in Sylvania Ohio. We also have a basement where my brothers and me practice hockey. I'm the middle child out of 3 kids. I also have a little brother 2 years younger then me named Drew. He also plays hockey. Drew's goal is to keep up with Grant and his teammates. Drew's a pretty good hockey player but the week of the Peewee tryouts he was sick. I mean he was vomitimg so bad he couldn't even stand up. So he didn't get to tryout making him play House this year. Trust me that's not easy on him since he's played Travel ever since he was a Squirt. Since his team's not very serious Mom and Dad are forcing him to skip for Canada. He's a little annoyed but not to bad. I go through my list and throw a bunch of stuff in my suitcase. All of a sudden Drew enters my room with a hockey stick.

"Floor Hockey?" he asks. 

I'm not the sidelines kind of sister. No I don't actually play, I prefer watching to playing. I do like joining in on shinny and family stick + puck. Playing floor hockey is one thing I love to do with my brothers. I've played with them long enough that I can keep up with them.

"Sure Little Brother." He rolls his eyes I love how it annoys him when I call him that.

"Hurry up Grant's waiting." he says leaving. I grab my stick and gloves and run down to the basement. I find Grant stick handling and Drew taping his stick. I go towards Grant and steal the tennis ball. He glares at me,

"You two against me" Grants says.

"Whatever, I get faceoff." I tell Drew

"Okay," he says backing me up on defense. We get into position for faceoff.

"Come on Hoser!" Grant taunts. I'm the kind of person that puts anger towards the game. I win the faceoff and pass it back to Drew. Drew brings it up as I screen Grant.

"If we didn't have a no checking rule you would be toast!" Grant says. Drew snipes it and it goes in.

"Nice shot!" I compliment.
