PROMPT 1 Written Task: This is it, the tourney has started. Every team is stacked and no win will come easy. Now is the time to write your story about the first game you play with the team. Who was selected to the opponent team? How did your team play? Did you win? Lose? Did you have big moments, or was it hard to keep up with the pace. This is your chance to be creative! (150+ words)
OK, so the tournament has started. There are no weak teams here. No easy wins. Every game, every shift counts. In a short tournament such as this one, its pretty much win or go home. As I sit in the dressing room before puck drop, I could cut the tension with a very dull knife. I know all the stick tapping, gum popping and irrelevant shuffling is just symptomatic of an important game. We troop out to the ice, the anthem(s) then the puck drops ! The game goes pretty much as expected. Mad end to end rushes, bone crushing hits along the boards, save after fabulous save from two outstanding goaltenders. This continues for 59 minutes and 32 seconds. It looks like we are going to overtime and a possible shootout. Then it happens, I get a perfect tape to tape pass with an open lane to the net. Two strides and I put everything into the shot. Man, that puck left a vapour trail. ![[Image: g2I-ytR0O_M4DPBYoGVC1Pjov8VfNBoohauTRQ_k...VW8u_elOl7]](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/g2I-ytR0O_M4DPBYoGVC1Pjov8VfNBoohauTRQ_k9xheUGIZ8vwGTiNTwfQakWc3D-33rUhhniO1Es51qpE7U278UqKqEMUn0PodHlYj3AEWIMsealrtuFRsrRcCkeVW8u_elOl7) And, it hits the post!!! Of all things !! Surprisingly the puck bounces directly back to me and hits me in the forehead. Rebounds back to the net, trickles over the goalie’s shoulder and into the net. Not pretty but they all count. A big win !! ![[Image: Rinky-sig.jpg]](https://i.ibb.co/NYKQ5kT/Rinky-sig.jpg)
