1.9- Do it for Canada

{Finals}

Alyssa's POV:

Intense. That's all I could really say about this game. Down by one with 2 minutes left in the first half. I stood up along with all the other eager fans screaming and shouting for our team.
"COME ON OLLIE" Steph shouted.
I laughed at her and joined her yelling.
I could tell the boys were getting a bit stressed out and I felt bad. My hands were shaking and I couldn't sit down. Hungary was absolutely the strongest team I had ever seen play, they pushed our boys around like they were nothing. It was 2-1 and the time was ticking from the first half faster and faster every second. The buzzer finally rang as the score changed from 3-1 and our boys left for the half time locker room break looking defeated.
"I don't know about this one," Steph sighed as she sat down.
I plopped down next to her and put my head in my hands. I was out of ideas. I was losing hope.
"You know what, no." I heard Steph say.
I looked up at her confused.
"What?" I asked.
"No, we did not come all this way to lose in the last game. We came here to get you and to win this shit." She said.
I looked at her with a small smile on my face.
"So?" I asked standing up joining her. "What do we do?"
She grabbed my arm as she lead me to the locker room.
"I'm sorry girls you can't go in the men's locker room." The guard said as we approached the door.
"Okay Sir-" I started to say.
"Do you know who this is?" Steph said to him.
"Umm-"
"No clearly you don't. How dare you live in this country and not know your own Princess." She said looking the buff man right in the eyes.
"Oh-Um-I-"
"Oh Um I let us through please now." She said pushing him out of the way.
"Of course my apologies your highness." He said opening the door for us.
We walked in and we bursted out laughing at Steph's outburst. As we got closer to the lockers, we heard nothing but sticks clinking and skates sharpening. We walked around the corner to be met with the faces of defenseless boys. They looked up as we entered.
"Wow what the hell happened to you?" I asked in a low tone.
They just shrugged their shoulders and looked back down at their sticks. I found Shawn's eyes looking at mine. He looked exhausted.
"It's no use anyways," Alex said in a sad voice.
They all nodded in agreement.
"WELL FUCK" Steph yelled.
Everyone looked at her shocked for her language and outburst.
"Are you guys seriously gonna be pussies about this? Okay the Hungarian players are literally giants but we have skill and we have love for the game. Who cares how big the guys are or how much skill they have."
She stopped and looked around as everyone listened.
"They play to win. They play for glory. They have a lot of things, but do you know what we have that they don't?"

We all waited for her to continue.
"We play because we love the sport. We play for each other because we're family. We didn't come all this way to give up. Even if we lose today boys, we got this far and no one has even done that before. Just trust me when I say I think that means something. You guys work your asses off everyday to be as good as you can be and it has paid off. Look at you. You made it to the fucking world hockey finals! Now wipe those damn sad looks off your faces, dry your tears and get your asses back on the ice and kick some ass. You're not just doing this for you anymore, do it for every little girl or boy watching from home. Come on boys do it for Canada."

I was speechless. They were speechless. Coach was even speechless.
Ollie finally stood up.
"Well boys, you heard her. Get you head in the damn game and let's win this shit for Canada."
The boys got up and cheered hyping each other up.
"Holy shit who are you?" I laughed as I turned to Steph.
"Girl ask me after this game," she said laughing.
