Captain to My Heart~Sidney Crosby~

Chapter 1

I walked to the front of the arena with my hockey bag slung over my shoulder and hockey stick in my hand. Dan Bylsma walked over to me. "Hello sir. I'm Ella Miner,"I said. "Hi Ella. You can call me Coach. Glad you could make it,"Dan said. I smiled and said,"Glad to be here." "I just want to welcome you to the Pittsburgh Penguins,"he said. I said,"Thank you Coach. I'm so excited. Dan said,"Let me show you around and then you can meet your teammates." I nodded. We walked into the arena. The playoffs are starting and the team decided that they needed new players. And they came upon me.

Of course, I said yes and signed a 5 year contract. Now I'm going to be the first girl to play in a NHL playoff game. Dan showed me the offices and different rooms. I tried to remember all the important ones. Then he stopped in front of the locker room door. I took a deep breath and walked in after Dan. It was really loud, but they stopped talking when they saw me. "Guys, listen up! This is Ella Miner. She is going to play with you guys. Ella is really talented, so welcome her to the Penguins,"Dan said. I smiled a little at everyone.

Dan walked out of the locker room. I looked around the room a little. "Hi,"I said. "Hi,"they all said. "Tell us about yourself,"James Neal said. "Okay. Um, my name is Ella Miner. I'm number 88. I play centre. And I'm from Vancouver, Canada,"I said. All the Canadians cheered. I laughed. Tanner Glass said,"I used to be on the Canucks!" I said,"I know." "How old are you?"Kris Letang asked. "I'm 24,"I said. "Are you going to practice with us today?"Morrow asked. I said,"Um, I don't know. Coach never told me anything about that."

"Do you have your jersey?"Fleury asked. I said,"No. I'm supposed to get it today." "Oh, I'm supposed to give it to you,"Crosby said, standing up. Oh my gosh. Sidney Crosby! Sorry, just kinda starstruck. He handed me my jersey and said,"Welcome to the Pittsburgh Penguins." "Thanks,"I said with a smile. "Some of the guys here are pervs. Don't let them intimidate you,"Sid said. I laughed and said,"Alright. I'll keep that in mind." Dan walked in again. "Am I supposed to attend practice today?"I asked. Dan said,"Yeah, why not? We'll see where you work best and what your strengths are." I nodded.

Dan grabbed some papers and said,"Everyone, get changed and go onto the ice." I placed my things on a bench and looked around. "Where do I put my things?"I asked. Dan said,"Between Crosby and Neal." I nodded and set my things down there. Dan left. "Do you want us to turn around or-?"Sid asked. I laughed and said,"No, it's fine." I put all my equipment on and pulled my jersey over it. I tied up my skates and stood up. My stick really needed some tape. I dug through my bag and couldn't find it. "Can I borrow some tape?"I asked Crosby. He handed me a roll. "Thanks,"I said.

I taped my stick up and handed it back to him. I put my helmet on and followed Iginla to the ice. Everyone was stretching or skating around. I stretched my legs and then skated around the rink. Once everyone was on the ice, we gathered around Dan. "Okay, so Fleury and Vokoun, get in net,"he said. Then he separated us into two groups. I had to shoot against Fleury. Dan said that he was evaluating us. I focused on the back of Jokinen's jersey and thought about what move I would do. Then it was my turn. I skated, picking the puck up on the way.

I deked it and put it top shelf. Everyone cheered. I laughed. "Good job,"Fleury said through his mask. I smiled and said,"Thanks." I skated to the end of the line. When it was my turn again, I got the puck between Fleury's legs and scored. For the third one, I scored with a spin-o-rama. Then Dan said,"Great job everybody. Now 5 laps around the rink." Everyone groaned. I just smiled and started doing them with Crosby. Everyone else slowly trailed behind. "Hello rookie,"Sid said. I laughed and said,"Hello captain." "I'm glad to know that someone is committed to this team's skating,"he said.

I laughed and said,"Duh! Skating is a main part of hockey." "At least there's someone sensible here,"Sid said. "Because I'm a girl,"I said with a laugh. He nodded and said,"Good point." We finished the laps way before everyone else so we just sat on the ice and stretched while talking. When everyone was finished, Dan said,"We need to practice our offence and penalty kills." Everyone looked at me. I crossed my arms and said,"Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I can't fight." Dan said,"Okay, fair enough." I smiled. I have to show them I can fight. And I will.
