"Mom, can I join hockey?" the 15 year old girl asked her mother. "No, it's too dangerous" she answered. "Please! Please, its only $200 with the gaurds and jerseys." She pleaded.
Her mom sighed, "Fine. When are try outs?" She asked. "Tomorrow, after school, at 4:00. Thank you!" SuAhn said with a smile.
...
The scene of her pleading her mother to join hockey replayed in her head as she rolled onto the rink and into a huddle with her team mates. She was the enforcer, which she hated since she had to do the fighting. Sure, she had padding on, but she was sure she would still get beat up.
The 'pests' were the ones who distracted the other team from getting to the puck, by trying to agitate them.
"Alright, team, this our first game together. Enforcer, don't be afraid to get on it right away." Coach Lee said as everyone split into their positions. She was in the center front, staring right at a player of the other team, which looked a lot bigger than her.
As the whistl filled her ears, she quickly reached her stick to get the puck, but the other team stole it right before she could get to it. She skated up to one of the players, immediately starting a fight while the two pests distracted two players. Through all the pushing and punching, SuAhn couldn't tell what was going on behind her. Another enforcer from the other team was attacking someone who was protecting the person with the puck, right as the puck went into their goal.
1 point for us. Let's keep it up. SuAhn thought as her face pulsed.
...
SuAhn had won her first game by 3 points. Though, her nose was bleeding and she had a horrible headache and bruises already forming, she enjoyed it. "You did good today. Keep it up for our game next saturday. Good job, enforcer, pests. All of you did good." Coach Lee congratulated.
