THE+GOAL

Slam, I was checked into the boards in Foothills Ice Arena. In the third game of the season, it was tied one to one on a Saturday afternoon. Skating up the ice, my line mate Levi was dodging checks. He shoots! The excitement ran through the air.... But, the goalie makes the kick save. It is a scrum in front of the net. Suddenly the puck pops out of the bunched up players. Unexpectedly the puck lands on my stick. I could change the game. I shoot with my hardest shot. Unfortunately, the goalie makes the save. As quick as the blink of an eye I shoot again. This time the puck ends up in the top right corner of the net. GOAL! The fans and our team are cheering madly. Once again the excitement ran through the air. Despite all of our efforts the game ended in a three to three tie.
