"Okay guys! Today, we play Germany. They are a pretty rough team, but team USA can beat them! Just do your best today. James and Johnny, you stay in here just in case one of us can't play or get hurt." Coach demanded. They nodded.

"Okay, let's get out there guys!" Coach cheered. We all got up from the benches and went out. We waited by the gates again to get on the ice.

"And now, our home team, Team USA!" The announcer yelled. The workers opened the gate and we skated in a circle for warm ups while Courtney skated to the benches since Coach doesn't wanna risk Courtney getting hurt.

After we did that, we lined up. Charlie was on my left and Courtney to my right. A guy came out and sang the Star Spangled Banner. After, we went to the bench.

"Okay, same people out first." Coach said. We all nodded. "And later on, the Flying V." We all smiled.

"Yeah!" We all cheered. Half of us went out into the ice. Courtney went to center ice. The referee came over and threw the puck down.

She got it and pasted it to Fulton. He skated down the ice and stopped about eight feet away from it. He put his stick up and shot the puck really hard and made the goal. We all cheered for him.

We were all resting in the locker room. Courtney came up to me and sat down. "Hey Banks." She said while being short of breath. I looked her. She looked really tired.

"Hey. Sorry about last night." I apologized. Courtney shook her head.

"It's fine. You were just mad at James. I was mad at him too when he started to talk about how he still loves me." Courtney explained. I nodded.

"Okay, Jayson is almost done with his song. Tomorrow, Ocean and Jayson are singing together. Let's wait by the gate." Coach announced. We all got up and got to the gate. Courtney came next to me.

"How's your rib feeling?" I asked.

"Okay. It kinda hurts to move sometimes but I'm fine." Courtney replied.

"Okay." The workers opened the gate and we came out. We went to the bench. Coach told us where to go. We went onto the ice. I went back to my spot and a Germany play came in front of me. He looked at my wrist, then back at Courtney.

What's he thinking?

The referee threw down the puck and Courtney got it again. The score is 4-2 USA. She shot it to me and I skated down the ice. The puck slipped from the stick and got stuck on the outside of the goal. I grabbed the goal for balance as I started to kick the puck out from the goal.

The German hockey player then came by and lifted the stick over his head and smashed the stick on my wrist. "Ah!" I yelled. He hit me so hard with the stick, the stick broke into two. The referee, Charlie, and Courtney came over to me.

"Adam, are you okay?!" Courtney asked as she helped me take off my glove. My wrist was in so much pain, but I didn't want to show that I was in pain because if Coach figures out, I'm out of the game and James comes in.

"Yeah, I'm fine."
