The Hockey Story



The Hockey Story

By: Maguire Gillespie




 There was a little boy who’s name was Billy, ever since he was able to walk he was skating. It was a thing Billy and his Father shared because hockey was his favorite sport to play. Just like all little boy’s Billy wanted to be just like his Dad. Billy had been waiting for the hockey season all year long and finally it was here, and he hoped he improved since last year even with the lack of practice; because his father had gone away for work. During this hockey season Billy hopes that his luck will finally turn around and his team will win the banner.

“Let’s go Mom, we are going to be late for practice.” Billy said

“Okay, Okay, I’m ready to go. Go hop in the car, I will be out in minute.” Ordered Billy’s Mother.

 Billy was a part of the Renous Whoopers. Even though last year he didn’t get any goals, he was determined. So he set his own personal goal to get 10 goals by the end of the hockey season.

“Yay! We’re here at last” Billy said with excitement in his voice.

 Billy walked into the rink and what he saw was a beautiful ice surface with the blue and red lines freshly done over, he could smell the stench of hockey equipment, and the also the wonderful smell of fries and burgers beginning cooked at the canteen.

“Welcome back Billy” Coach Stanley said.

“It’s good to be back” Billy replied

 The season went pretty quick and it was down to the last game, this game would decide if the Renous Whoopers would go on and play for the banner that the whole team wanted all so badly. There was one problem though, Billy and his team had to play against the Townville River Rats, who beat Renous all season long.

 “Let’s go guys, we can beat these guys” Coach Stanley cheered
 “But they are so good and they hadn’t lost a game all year” Jack mentioned

 “All we need to is shoot, pass and skate really fast” Coach Stanley chanted.

Billy thought to himself.

“This season I got nine goals, but my goal was to get 10, it would be awesome if I got one against our rivals”

 The game started and right away River Rats scored first, but Renous was hanging in there. Then on one lucky play Joe the defense for Renous took a shot and the puck went off of the players on the other team and it went in.

 The second period went on but nothing happened which was scary because the next goal could be the game winner.

“Go go, skate skate.” the crowd roared.

The period ended, and went on to the third period where again no goals were scored, so the game went into overtime.

It was the final minute and Billy was on the ice, they were skating up the ice hard when Jack passed the puck to Billy.

“Shoot, shoot” Jack yelled

 Billy did and scored right over the goalies glove. They won, and Billy got his 10th goal which he wanted so badly. The team went on to celebrate and moved on to actually win the banner. Billy realized that they had accomplished this because of hard work and teamwork. Also he found out that if you put your mind to it you can do anything.



THE END
