Up and Coming
Chapter 41
"Line 1!" Called Darryl, and I was over the boards before the words were out of his mouth.
I burst up the ice, in pursuit of a loose puck in the corner. Suter got to the puck first, and I lowered my shoulder, gaining speed.
I felt my body collide with his, and he went down hard, head into the boards. I gasped, as he got up shakily, bleeding heavily from somewhere beneath his helmet.
"Call the play!" I yelled at the ref, who obeyed and blew the whistle.
"Sorry bro." I said shakily to Suter, helping him to his bench.
I had wanted to lay him out, but not to hurt him like this!
He nodded, and tapped my shin pads, as the doctor helped him down the tunnel to the dressing room.
"Number 19! 2 minutes! Charging!" Called the ref, escorting me to the penalty box.
I sat down, and closed the door, wiping my visor with a towel. I stared across the ice at the Butlers, who were watching the ref anxiously. Shay gave me a thumbs up, but I cursed at myself under my breath for being so stupid.
