Notes: Like the title? I was in a corny mood. This will kinda bounce around and catch a few other opinions. However, the chapter will still be in third person. Thank you LacklusterUpdater for inspiration on the prep school name. I changed it a bit if that's okay with you. Larusso was a bit weird. I'm not making fun of Vincent or anything.
I Went to a Fight and a Hockey Game Broke Out
Coach Orion stood outside of the locker room thinking of what he had to do. Charlie had warned him earlier that Jesse might take this game too personally. When would they realize this isn't Peewees anymore?
He opened the locker room door and found they were all changed and ready. They still had 20 minutes. "Hall I need to talk to you in my office." He said and closed the door.
Jesse got up. He had a feeling he knew what this conversation was going to be about. He had been in a rotten mood ever since the fight he had with Adam Saturday. It started to show in practice. He went into Coach Orion's office.
"Hall, Conway told me about the team's history with two of Russo Academy's players. Can you play without trying to get revenge?"
"I can try." Jesse said truthfully.
"I guess that's all I can ask of you. However, if it starts affecting your playing you'll be benched the rest of the game. Revenge has no place in hockey. You can go."

In the visitor's locker room, the Russo Academy Pirates were talking before the game. "I'd look out for Hall." Ian said to McGill and Larson. "I heard a couple of the Ducks talking earlier. He's not in a good mood. And is still mad about something in Peewees?"
McGill grinned. "Figures he'd be the one that would be mad about that. We should give him a reason to."
"Come on Brian that was several years ago. Let it go."
"Larson don't wimp out on me. We should have been champs that year and you know it."
Larson just shook his head and walked away.
McGill and a few other teammates start plotting.

"Adam I can't believe you talked me into going to a hockey game!" Christina said as she followed him up the stands. "I don't even like hockey."
"I still can't believe you have a book with you! No one reads a book at a hockey game." They found a spot next to Casey Conway.
"Hi Adam. Hi Christina." She greeted them. "How's your wrist Adam?"
"Better." Adam answered. He was being truthful. The pain had gone down. It took longer then the doctor thought it would. "I'll be back in school Monday."
"Good. How are you doing Christina?" Casey asked.
"Pretty good be better if I wasn't at a hockey game. You?" Christina asked.
Casey chuckled. "I'm good thanks."
They all stood up as the teams started coming onto the ice. He gulped when he saw McGill watching Jesse. He suddenly didn't feel good about this game.

Jesse had every intention not to make this game look personal. But was it his fault that the Pirates were targeting him? He had to fight back. He checked Alberts hard into the boards. He saw Larson skating with the puck and checked him.
In the stands, Banks closed his eyes. This was turning out very badly. And it was still the first period. His sister actually wasn't reading a book, which he was grateful. He opened his eyes and saw Orion was very angry.
Christina watched the game in amusement. She'd known Jesse, McGill, and Larson almost as long as her brother did it felt like. McGill and Jesse seemed content in going after each other. Larson was trying to play and Jesse went after him. She never knew hockey could be so interesting.
The second period ended. Score still zero to zero. Jesse sat on the bench. The coach hadn't said anything yet which he was grateful. But he knew that he was going to get a lecture at halftime. He was set out onto the ice.
What Adam feared finally happened. McGill checked Jesse hard into the boards and Jesse had enough. He started to punch him. Larson tried to separate them but was pushed down for his efforts.
Adam got to his feet and started going down the steps. He needed to talk to Jesse. He was accidentally pushed from behind and started falling when he landed everything went black.

I never said things would get easier. And yes I'm mean enough to end it right there.
