Disclaimer-I don't own Mighty Ducks or any of it's characters. The characters that don't sound familiar are mine: Cat, Ben, Steve.
A.N.-I don't know the first thing there is to know about hockey, so if I use the wrong terminology, or the games are boring, I am very, very sorry. If I do, please inform me in your review and I will try to fix the problem. Thanks!
Prologue
Cat focused on her opponents, never taking her eyes off of them, or the puck, for even for an instant. Sweat trickled down her neck, it had been a long game. She had been playing hockey since she was four years old, and the practice had paid off. She was the best goalie in the state of Montana. //Good thing,// she thought, //these guys are pretty good.//
Her team, the lions, was playing against one of the best teams in the state. The falcons were definitely a tough team, the lions had their work cut out for them. Cat smiled, relishing the adrenaline rush, there were two minutes left in the game. Her team had scored one point, but she had managed to thwart any and all attacks by the falcons, and their frustration was imminent on their faces…especially their center, Ben Sanders, who was the state's leading scorer.
Sanders got a hold of the puck, and started to make his way towards the goal. He shot, but Cat blocked it. She heard him groan in exasperation. One of his teammates stole the puck from Cat's team. The falcons then did a well thought out, well practiced passing routine, with the puck finally ending up in Ben's possession. Cat sighed, //Like I didn't see THAT one coming, they depend too much on him.//
Ben attempted to fake her out, pulling what he thought was a sure way to get a goal in before the end of the game. Cat again blocked the shot. 0:10. Ben was enraged and, ignoring his coach's calls from the side, went for another shot. He circled around, trying again to fake her out, blinded by his rage. He shot…and landed the puck snugly into Cat's glove.
A siren sounded, the lions had won! Cat took her mask off and looked at Ben, he was seething. She shrugged, "You really almost made it past me, keep practicing!" She smiled and extended her hand. Ben looked at her hand and glared at her, turned around and went straight to the lockers. Cat sighed and shook her head. She was then called over to her teammates and joined the celebration.

The lockers had been all but cleared out. Cat said goodbye to her teammates, saying she couldn't find her skate covers. She went back into the locker room to search. She had been looking for only a few minutes when she heard someone behind her. At first glance, she thought it was the falcon's goalie, Steve Polie, she and Steve were good friends. But she realized that whoever this was only had Steve's mask on, and was holding his goalie stick.
"Steve?" she said, trying not to sound afraid. Whoever it was smiled and raised the goalie stick. Cat screamed as the stick came into contact with the side of her knee.

Ben Sanders walked out of the arena, smiling smugly, and caught up to his friends. The goalie, Steve, looked at him with relief etched on his face. "Oh man, my mask and my stick, where were they?" Ben shrugged nonchalantly and said, "I found them just lying around in the locker room."
Inside the locker room, Cat was sobbing and yelling in pain, holding her right knee.
Bum, bum, bum! What a jerk huh? Well, I have no idea how many chapters this is going to have, or when I will continue it. I already have a good part of the next chapter written. Well, PLEASE REVIEW!!! I want to know how I am doing!
