My Brother, The Hockey Player

Chapter 15

Ski

Adam and I went onto the ice. We looked at everyone. They were in pairs working on their passing. But, they weren't passing pucks, they were passing eggs.

Eggs.

Adam and I looked at each other and shot each other confused looks.

"Ski! Adam! Come on out!" We heard Coach yell. We looked at him quickly and skated out to Coach.

"Yes Coach?" I asked. He kind of smiled, then looked up.

"Everyone! Line up!" Coach demanded. Adam and I looked over and saw everyone line up in a straight line. Coach put his hands on our shoulders. "You guys are good at passing, right?" He asked. Adam and I nodded.

"Good, Ski." I nodded once. "Go over there." He demanded, pointing at a spot on the ice. I skated over there, then stopped. I turned around. "Okay guys. Let's see if she can do it."

He put the egg on the ice and got his stick. He shot the egg to me. I recovered the egg with my stick without breaking it. "Good. Now pass it back." I shot it to Coach and he recovered it.

He looked back at the team. "That easy. Now, I'm gonna partner you guys up. Okay, Adam, you're gonna be with Tammy." He said. Adam looked at me. I nodded. He did too.

He skated away. "Dave with Peter, Les with Tommy, Jessie with Terri, Ski with Charlie, and Connie with Guy and Fulton." We all skated to each other. I skated to Charlie.

"Hey." He said. I smiled.

"Hey, Charlie." We went over and got an egg, then skated to our spot. I put the egg by my stick, then shot it. Charlie recovered it. "Nice!" I yelled. He smiled. Coach started to skate in between Charlie and I.

"Okay guys! You're doing great!" He yelled. Charlie lifted his stick and shot the egg really hard. It broke in mid air and hit Coach. I gasped. He looked down at his shirt. We all started to laugh.

Maybe this isn't half bad.
