Chapter 5-Playoff Rewards
After making it into the playoffs the Ducks had a party. There was Coke thrown everywhere and Coach Bombay got ice thrown on him. The kids just laugh and threw more pop on each other. At first Adam and Allison were surpised at what they saw. They were used to conformity and seriousness.
They each grabbed a Coke. Adam grabbed his and started drinking it. Allison grabbed one and with Adam at her left held the pop in her right hand shaking it. Adam looked at her smiling so she opened the pop right over his head. There was Coke all over him. He grabbed another Coke and did the same to her about 5 minutes later.
It was a fun night. Both players knew it wouldn't have been as fun with their old teams. Adam with the Hawks would have just gone home to rest up for an extra long practice the next day. Allison played on a similar team like the Hawks in Duluth before she moved that summer.
The two showed up for an extra long, hard practice. Instead they had their usual practice and at the end there were permission slips to go to a Northstars game as a reward. In another practice everyone met a couple of Northstar players and just skated around having fun.
Adam was really excited, but wasn't sure he could get someone in his house to sign the permission slip for him. Allison had an idea. Since her parents were out of town again she was going to have her uncle who lives only about a mile away sign, and she thought she could get Adam's signed too. It worked even though Coach Bombay didn't like the idea very much.
At the Northstars game the Ducks were named on the scoreboard which was very cool. Allison, Fulton, and Adam were sitting together at the game. Then Micheal and Tommy showed up. Allison saw them motioning to Adam like he was some kind of traitor for wanting to play hockey. Adam was uneasy so Allison leaned over and was telling him to try and brush off what they were saying.
The Ducks were ready for the playoffs.
They started to surprise everyone as they made their way through the playoffs. They were winning one game after the next. The offense was scoring and the defense were stopping the other team. The Ducks kept rotating positions, especially Allison who could play anywhere but goalie because she was strong and good, throughout the games which through off the other teams.
Adam and Ducks number 9, Jesse Hall, still weren't getting along. That issue was about the only thing that was affecting the team's unity. They were playing great and getting along.
The Ducks made it all the way to the championship where they would face the horrible Hawks.
