So You Wanna Play?
Notes: This is based somewhat on part of the book version of D2: The Mighty Ducks. I loved that part in the book. You also find out who was there from last chapter. Very short chapter I know.
I woke up the next morning and noticed the pain in my wrist was still there. No less then it was yesterday. We have a game today against Germany. If I want to play I have to make sure no one notices it still hurts. We met up with the others outside and headed for the classroom.
The class went like normal. I wrote as little as I could and used my right hand. If I started writing with my left hand, someone would take notice. After class we had to go down to the football field for warm ups. Bombay told us that yesterday.
We stretched. I didn't do any arm stretches. I had to rest my wrist. Coach Bombay wasn't even there. This figured. He was probably talking to some sponsors or at some party.
I don't know what possessed me to get into a fight with Portman. He's almost twice my size. He and Fulton helped Jesse and I went those three Icelanders cornered us. I guess I really like Julie.
The smart mouthed kid has challenged us to a game of schoolyard puck. I'll go but I won't play. I will just say I'm making sure I don't re-injure my wrist if they ask. I watched from the sidelines and cheered for the team.
Russ, the kid that challenged us, came up to me and said, "What's the matter Banks? This game not good enough for you?"
"No that's not it. Just don't want to re-injure my wrist."
"I can show you how to play with one wrist. Would be better then how you did yesterday wouldn't it?" I knew someone was there last night! He must have seen my look of surprise because he smiled. "Hey I won't tell anyone. So you wanna play or not?"
I nodded. He spent the next few minutes showing me how to play with one hand. I did a lot better then I did last night. I was ready for the game later. I watched him get back into the game. He did an unbelievable shot. It was even more amazing then Fulton's.
We had to get to the rink for the game against Germany. We all said goodbye and I made sure to thank Russ. I hope I can repay him.
