The game was ficer, neck and neck at times. By, now both teams had had there fair share of being in the time out box. "Come on guys, lets burn some ice, keep it up!" Dave shout at his team members. The score had been very much like a ping pong ball, going back and forth A point here a point there, it never seem to change. One moment ERHQ was in the lead, while the next moment Blaze was in the lead.
After the 1st part of the game the score led 15 to 17, with team ERHQ, in the lead. "Alright, team HQ, is in the lead, we have two more chances to get in the lead, and bet the skates off them" Dave said to them, trying to keep his team going. He wasn't about to lose this one.
Mark began to speak up, "We're going to make them go home pulling down there pants and sliding on the ice." He said trying to be funny but at the same time trying to crack a joke. The other team members just stared at him, like he was on some kind of crack or something. "Leave the hockey jokes to Lesley," Jen said.
"Okay team you know the game and you know what to do," Dave said, as the team went back into there team chant, before heading back onto the ice.
Another 20 mins past and the score was tied 35 to 35, now both teams tried and exhausted, were at there wits in, both were trying to there best to win. By the end of the 3rd quarter, the score now was 65 to 64. With team Blaze in the lead, they had finally beaten the team that was there biggest rival. And that was a relief.
"You know Mark, you really are good," Dave said. "Well, I do have some good trick up my selves, I still have game even after a 15 year hiatus." He said with a smile as he began to gather his belongs to head home. "See you tomorrow?" Dave said, Mark who wasn't really listening looked up and just nodded as he rubbed his head, had he work himself too hard, had he be gone from his hiatus too long?"
Dave had already left the rink, not knowing that Mark was still there rubbing his head. Mark, thought to himself, it's just because I'm tired and I need some sleep and food. And with that he didn't think anymore of his head hurting, he just went home, ready to put the rest of the day behind him.
