Hockey season! For aficionados it’s the best time of year. For the players, it’s hard work, lots of sweat, and great fun. What more can anyone ask ….
THE GREAT GAME
face-off
ref drops the puck
backs away
from hacking sticks
home team
stick handles up the ice
for a shot at goal
goalie pounces
another face-off
away team takes possession
carries it to centre
passes
defence trips falls
home charges goal
shoots
shouts ‘YEAH’
up and down the ice
swinging sticks
hard fast
a save a cheer
Those Blue Shoes for ages 7-11 … Weston’s … skill in juggling time past with time present … the plot unfolds with fast-paced action, mystery, suspense and even a ghost. Joan Givner
