Aimes Pov.
Our next practice was very interesting. We had some empty spots on our team since Peter got shipped to military school. Jesse’s parents split up and his mom took Terry with him, and Karp actually moved to Canada.

Our new players were… let’s just say interesting. Definitely not bad, really far from it. Just, interesting.

For instance, Luis Mendoza, from Miami. He could skate faster than any of us, like scarily fast. 

“Good looking skater” Connie smirked

“Definitely good  looking” I nodded.

“Yeah, very good looking. What do you think Guy? Banks?” Averman asked.

“Shut up Averman” The two boys groaned, shoving Averman over, who fell.

Connie and I both started laughing. The only thing was. Luis couldn’t stop. He just kept going till he was stopped by… whatever was in front of him. 

“Yeehaw! How is everyone! Y’all ready to play some puck!”

“Hey look it’s Hopalong Gretzky” Jesse chuckled. We all did.

Dwayne Robertson, from Austin Texas, surprise surprise. He was an amazing puck handler. His only downfall was his cockyness really.

Then Julie “The Cat” Gaffney. She was a goalie. She was amazing! We all stood in line taking shots at her, I was last. I skated up and surprisingly scored. I was the only one who did. She skated up to me.

“Hey I’m Julie” She stuck a hand out.

“Aimes Bombay” I smiled, shaking it “You’re amazing” I sighed.

“Well hey, you got it passed me huh?” She smiled. 

I chuckled and nodded before skating back to the others.

“How’d you do that?” Connie questioned.

I just shrugged my shoulders. Adam chuckled, placing his arms around my shoulders.

“The Queen’s still got it” he sighed, making me laugh.

The next boy was… an olympic figure skater. Kenny Wu. I sighed. Tammy and Tommy stopped playing hockey for figure skating, but apparently this was now Ken’s passion. We will definitely see. I’m just happy there’s someone as short as me again.

“Hey look! Aimes it’s one of your friends from kindergarten” Averman joked.

“Hey right here Averman” I said, lifting up my fist. The boys laughed as Adam held me back.

And last but… maybe least. A boy came out onto the ice and started shoving all of us over. Dean Portman from Chicago, Illinois. He pushed me but Charlie and Adam caught me. Okay you can’t just do that if you wanna be on our team. I skated over to him and we all started to argue. Like all of us. I didn’t care if Dean Portman was twice my size, I gave him a piece of my mind, until the whistle blew.

“Everybody freeze!” my dad yelled “Now we didn’t come here to fight, we came here to play hockey. We’re team U.S.A, who represent your country”

“That’s right” Don cut him off.

“Now I want you-

“To be all that you can be, right?” Don interrupted again “You gotta raise yourself up guys, you gotta-

Don cut himself off when he looked at my Dad. We all tried not to laugh.

“Alright now let’s start with a scrimmage” my Dad was about to blow the whistle but
