Between the pipes

With the wind whipping through the trees, it made walking a little hard especially with the gear. The snow crunched under foot like walking on corn flakes.
Winter is an awesome time, for many reasons besides the holidays, big dinners. there was one thing better then all that…. Hockey.
The pond was just up ahead some of the boys were already there, he could hear them yelling and chattering back and forth no matter how old they got they were still kids when it came to the ice. Boys will be boys.
“Hey sieve, nice of you to show up .” Bobby said as he lofted a puck past my head. Ducking I dropped my bag and snagged the puck with my gloved hand.. I still have it. “Damn boys you see him…he is on today..I guess everyone has a good day once in a while.”
Dropping down on the bench I pulled on my skates and the pads.. the rest of gear and it was between the pipes. It was like a second home, the crease is my home.. you don’t come in and play unless I let you in. You might try and crash my party but you will pay.
