The buzzer rang as the puck hit the back of the net as everyone's hearts seemed to stop...

Eyes shifted toward the scoreboard as it changed into 3-2 allowing the team with red jerseys to cheer. 

The crowd's cheers lifted the boy's spirits as he lifted his stick in the air in excitement. 

Mark was suddenly surrounded by his teammates who were hugging him tightly. A smile suddenly appeared on his face, thinking about what he just did. 

He had won them a ticket to the semi-finals. 

Tomorrow, he would be going with Gabe, Johnny, and Gabe's mother, Mrs. Yang, to Skate Canada. He would get to relax and see some great figure skating. 

It felt like a blur when he shook hands with their opponents and they were exiting the ice. 

Mark did his normal business of taking off his skates, changing out of his hockey gear into a suit. Typically, he could wear normal clothes but with such an important tournament, he decided to be fancy. 

"C' mon, Mark!" Johnny called, "Let's get back to the hotel early!"

"Why?" Mark whined in Korean, "Is it because you want to shower there? You are already in a suit?"

"Yeah," Johnny replied nonchalantly, "But Gabe said that short program for men's is on tonight. Donghyuck is in the final group and skating 10th out the 13 skaters."

Mark huffed as he grabbed his bag with his gear and another with her clothes before walking out of the locker room. He bid his teammates a good night and to see them at breakfast the following day for their early game. 

Gabe was already outside with his mother, talking to her in Chinese. When he noticed Johnny and Mark, he waved them over. 

"Great job, Mark," Mrs. Yang complimented, "That was quite the goal you made."

Mrs. Yang was almost identical to Gabe. She was slightly taller with her hair tied back into a bun as she wore comfortable clothes. She was always kind to Mark and seemed like another mother. 

"Thank you, Mrs. Yang," Mark answered politely. 

"Let's go then," Gabe ran off toward the exit with Johnny and Mark following.
