Chapter 6: A New Coach, A New Chance
By: WoopWoop87
It was early in the season and the whole group had just reached the ice. Coach Arnold drove up in his big pick up truck, his coffee and of course his doughnut. He parked on the edge of the ice and rolled down his window, "Um, ok, kids just do whatever," he said his voice a little choked.
"Why does he always sit in that truck?" Connie complained.
"We haven't learned to do anything," Charlie said looking down at the ice.
"C'mon guys," Jesse began, "he's the reason that we suck, we shouldn't just let him sit there and ruin our hockey careers."
"Yeah!" The team replied in unison.
"Let's attack the truck!" Jesse yelled leading an angry pack towards the old pickup truck. They jumped on it and shook it until Coach Arnold finally stepped out.
"What are you kids doing?" he asked angrily.
"We wanna coach, we wanna coach, hey!" They began to chant.
Just then the coach grabbed his arm and began to breathe heavily his face sweaty.
"Oh my God, I think he hurt his arm!" Connie said. Running towards him.
"Maybe we should call 9-1-1!" Guy said kneeling beside her.
Just then Charlie's mom approached, "what's going on?" she asked nervously running over.
"Why are you always here?" Jesse asked confused.
"What happened?" She asked changing the subject.
"I think he hurt his arm," Goldberg said pointing to him.
"Somebody call 9-1-1," she said leaning over him.
That was the end of Coach Arnold, he didn't die or anything he just took an early retirement from the peewee coaching business. The kids were now put back to the beginning; they had no coach, which meant no team.
This of course didn't stop the young dreamers from playing. They slid across the ice falling over one another as Terry argued with Goldberg about blocking a goal as a long black limousine pulled up to the ice and then onto it very smoothly. The door opened and a man stepped out.
The man was Gordon Bombay; a may completing his community service for a DUI he had recently received. He was an ambitious attorney who had never lost a case but as a child he lost the state championship for his own peewee team. The fact that he was so stubborn was good for the team but he still wasn't ready to get over is past.
Jesse had the plan to attack the limo after Bombay stepped back inside, he wasn't about to get another Coach Arnold. They jumped on the car realizing that the door was open and climbed in eating the candy and chanting for a ride. Coach Bombay got a great first impression.
The first game they played was against the hawks. Adam Banks, who was now on the team, recognized a few of them as they walked into the rink but tried to focus on the win. When you were a hawk nothing was good enough unless it was winning and winning big. Of course the hawks creamed District 5 with a final score of 17-0.Coach Bombay who hated to lose decided to use the injury to win a game.
Jesse and Guy walked along the sidewalk as they reached the alleyway with Karp and Peter; they opened up a box of
various sports illustrated magazines as the boys looked through them. Guy looked away as he looked down at his watch.
"Ooo, look a picture of Connie, what a babe," Peter teased.
"Shut up Peter," Jesse broke in. Peter replied with an evil glare as he flipped through the pages.
"Ooo, look here Guy, it's a picture of your mom," this was the final straw for Guy as he ran after him about to beat him up but was interrupted by the snotty Hawks. They teased and tormented the boys as they cornered them, Adam being one of them. Jesse hated these kids and wished that they would get over themselves. Just as the Hawks were about to strike a large guy came to save the day, an extremely big guy, Fulton.
The kids were in-groups of two as they poked each other with sticks, "look hurt!" Coach Bombay yelled as he walked through the falling kids, "make it look believable."
"I am hurt," Averman wailed.
Connie jabbed her stick around knocking Guy head over heels into the ice. "Oh my God! Are you okay?" she asked in a voice of concern as she rushed to his side.
"I'll be okay," he laughed a bit.
After a few warnings from parents, Bombay changed his way, he got the kids uniforms and equipment and he taught them how to play hockey. He also got the team a name, something that they had been lacking, they were not District 5 any more, but now the Ducks, the Mighty Ducks. He also did a little recruiting; a boy named Fulton Reed, Tammy and Tommy Duncan, and a little hawk, Adam Banks. Of course none of them wanted Banks, he insulted them and teased them as a hawk. Why would he be any different? But for some strange reason Charlie looked past that and the team hated that and resented him for it.
One day during science class after the game the whole team walked out on except for Charlie and Fulton, Peter teased Charlie for sticking around. Of course Connie who had been Charlie's friend since kindergarten stood up for him, but Peter acting like a complete non-gentlemen pushed her anyway. Guy who already hated Peter and liked Connie stood in, "Hey don't push her, she's a girl!" he said shoving Peter.
"Don't hit him," Connie said not wanting to have to be protected. A fight broke out between them all as the principle walked in; it was going to be a long day of detention.
"Do you need any help with that?" Guy asked re-adjusting his hat.
"Thanks," Connie smiled as she wrote a line for him showing they could use teamwork.
"Sorry for stepping in like that, I know you could have held your own," Guy said kind of shyly.
"It's okay, I guess chivalry isn't dead," she replied.
The team couldn't fight Banks joining the team but he would wind up being an important duck. The team had learned how it felt to score a goal at this point and they knew what it felt like to tie a game but never had they known what winning was like till that day.
The teams were tied in the 3rd period with little time left. Bombay decided to put Fulton in to score one of his extremely fast and hard to catch shots. The only problem was that it had an accuracy of 1 out of 5."I don't know if I can do it," Fulton said sadly.
"Soft hands Fulton," Guy said thinking back on something that Coach Gordon had taught them early on, "concentration not strength," he looked over at Connie and gave her a wink.
"That saying would have worked for us and our first kiss," she said with a giggle, he smiled.
That day they wound up winning their first game, giving them a position in the playoffs. Bombay decided to reward them by pulling a few strings with some friends he had on the Minnesota Stars. The whole team walked into the giant stadium as Coach Bombay began to talk with some team members.
"Connie?" Guy asked as he pulled her off to the side before they were about to go onto the ice.
"Yeah?" She responded.
"I was kinda sorta wondering if maybe you wanted to be my girlfriend?" He asked looking around the rink afraid of her response.
She smiled kissing him on the cheek, "I'd love too," she said pulling him off onto the ice holding onto his hand tightly. The whole team whirled around the ice doing dives and pushing Lewis around on a chair, it was lots of fun.
Later as they sat watching the hockey game Guy took Connie's hand holding onto it firmly, she turned to him giving him the smile she seemed to have whenever she was around him.
It must have been a Cinderella season for the Ducks because they began to win and were going to play the hawks for the state championship. The day before the game Guy and Connie walked home from school together. "So, are you nervous about the game?" Connie asked.
"A little but I think we have a chance this time," Guy replied.
"Me too. Have you told your parents that we're going out?" She asked rather off topic.
"Um, no they think I'm to young to like a girl and they don't want me dating till high school." Guy said rather timidly.
"Yeah my parents think I'm too young also," Connie replied, "but I still really like you so I don't care what they think."
"Me too," Guy said as they approached their houses, "I'll see you tomorrow."
"Bye," she said as he kissed her on the cheek.
The championship game had finally come and it seemed that the hawks were going to win. After the first period two periods with a score of 1-3 it seemed over, especially since Banks was now out of the game. Using Fulton's shot Tammy's figure skating, and the Oreo lines, Guy, Jesse, and Terry's flying V they managed to tie the game 4-4 with a penalty shot in their favor.
"I think Guy should take it," Connie said, knowing that he was the best team member left playing. But of course Bombay chose his favorite Charlie to take the shot and he managed to make it in. For the first time in their lives they were winners they had won the game and were the best peewee hockey team in the state.
As they rushed the ice Guy pulled Connie towards him giving her a long kiss in front of everybody, the team, the spectators, and most importantly their parents. They didn't need to hide their feelings to anybody anymore they were winners.
