Chapter 4-The 1st Game
Adam called the number Coach Bombay of the Ducks had left him. He asked Coach Bombay, "Do we still have a shot at the playoffs?"
Coach Bombay said, "We will as long as we win this next game. Are you going to show?"
Adam said, "I'm not sure, but I know someone else in District 5 intrested in playing. Could that person play?"
Coach said, "Sure, but I need a name."
Adam said, "It's Allison Olson. O-L-S-O-N."
Coach said, "Alright, but I can't guarentee playing time, and I'll choose the position."
Adam said, "It doesn't matter. Trust me. Bye.
Coach Bombay said, "Bye."
The night of his first game with the Ducks Adam grabbed his gear, and went out the door saying that he was going to play some hockey with Allison.
The two rode the bus to the rink and were a little late. When they walked in everyone else was already changed. Adam recognized most of them because he had taken the time to make fun of them. Allison didn't really know anyone.
One of the players, number 96, started to welcome them, but another player, number 9, stopped him. The Duck came up to Adam and said, "Putting on a Ducks jersey doesn't make you a real Duck."
He shoved off Adam's shoulder and walked out. The rest of the team followed him. The coach left Adam and Allison to change into their equipment.
When they were changing Allison yelled across the locker room, "With all you put them through before you deserved that.
Adam answered, "I know, but it still hurts."
They finished changing and went out for warmups.
Allison only got in a little and didn't get passed the puck once, but she checked her guy into the boards a few times to regain possession of the puck. Adam scored a goal. There was only a little time left on the clock. The score was tied. Coach Bombay pulled Goldberg, the goalie, for the last few seconds. He put Fulton, number 44, in as the extra man to take his killer slapshot which Adam and Allison found out about in warmups.
Ducks got the faceoff and passed the puck to Fulton. He was bringing his stick back to take his shot when the puck was stolen from him. He knocked the guy down and took the puck back. Fulton got his shot off. The puck whizzed past everyone and knocked the goalie back into the goal for the win.
The Ducks were in the playoffs.
