"Yeah, high-five some more. Man, my little brother could score on these guys." I heard a guy said behind me. Jesse turn around and so did I

"Go bother him, then." Jesse yell out and

"Ha-ha! i ain't even got a little brother!" The guy said

"I bet that he would be just annoying as you" I glare at him

"What's your name sweet mama" he smirk

"None of your business. And I would be dam if I was your mom" I turn around

"Hey,Jesse.! Quit gabbin' and get on the ice.Show me

"Yeah, show us you want it son. Go!'Kay." The boy mocked Coach Bombay

" U.S.A. penalty, number nine,Hall. Two minutes, roughing." The speaker person said

I turn around and I see Adam looking at the crowd. I gently hit Charlie shoulder. When he turn to me. I just pointed at Adam

"Hey, ya got a girl in the stands?" Charlie asked

"No. Scouts, man.Look at 'em." Adam look at the men

"Don't worry about scouts, Adam.Just play your best." Charlie reply

" Team U.S.A. loses the puck

Nearing the end of the game, U.S.A. with it out at center ice.Here's Connie Moreau. Moreau stick-handling in the Trinidad zone.Moreau still with it, moves around
a pileup, gives it to Kenny Wu.Wu, the former figure skater, back behind the net, ducks underneath the check.

The Next Day

We are doing a press conference. I was with Luis. I grab his hand. He looked at me and kiss my temple.

"Ladies and gentlemen,
Team U.S.A. hockey. And the man chosen to lead them to the gold, Gordon Bombay." Tibbles introduce Coach Bombay to the press

"Okay, we're gonna open it up to questions." Coach Bombay said

"Yes. Team U.S.A., how does it feel competing...on the international level here in Los Angeles?" A report asked

"Feels good. Love it." Coach reply

"Coach Bombay, the Vikings from iceland are the heavy favorite.Their coach has already guaranteed victory.
How are you gonna handle them?" Another reporter stand up

"hard work.i think our team is ready to go up against the best in the world.We're not worried about 'em.Iceland may be tough, but, uh...we're Team U.S.A. and we're goin' all the way." Coach Bombay answer

"Team U.S.A. 's going down.
That's where you're going.
See you on the ice, Bombay!" A man said from the back of the reporters.

"That's, uh, Stansson.
Coach of the Iceland team.
He's wound a little tight." Tibbles informed us. Coach Bombay gives a sign to come with him. I looked at Luis. He just put a arm around my shoulder

"Stansson from the N.H.L.? Wolf"The Dentist" Stansson is coaching?You didn't tell me that." Coach Bombay said to Tibbles

"That guy's a dentist?" Ken asked

"That was his nickname.
Played one year of pro,
collected more teeth than goals.He even punched out his coach." Charlie said

"They ran him out of the league and the country." Julie said

"That's his team?Those guys are huge!" Ken looked at me scared

"Don't worry." I run his shoulder
