The Incident of the Goalie Stick I had just finished my hockey game‚ one which we lost by far. I slowly skated my way off the ice‚ as everyone looked at the “losing team” in disappointment. I stepped my way over to the locker and to my surprise‚ a couple of kids had found a broken goalie stick‚ and the floor was a mess with splinters. It looked as if a volcano had erupted in the left side of the tiny locker room. These kids swung it back and forth‚ trying to break it‚ but had no luck in doing so
