I am very confused about something. If this man in the black jacket is a good bystandered then why doesn't he see all these red flags pop up. What I am confused about it why didn't he make the connection of the money and the boy risking everything. This does not make sense to me. Maybe things would be different if he said something.

I feel like Peter doesn't want revenge. I mean, if I was him I would want both for my daughter. But in this case I think that he wants both. I think something bad is going to happen to Kevin because Peter is going to do something very stupid. Not only that but I think that he is going to destroy his reputation in the process of doing something bad.

It really scared me when Maggan and David got into an argument about the team. I don't agree that the coach should be questioned. He played at a high level, he made sacrifices, he made the choices. I think that makes him no more than most people. Not only this but I think that whoever he chooses should be welcomed and not be complained about. I think that in order to thrive you need to trust your coach.

I am very worried about the girls safety on page 157. They went off into the darkness with a few hockey players in the middle of a storm. Now, I understand if they have done this before but the way they are wrapped around the boys makes it suspicious. Not only this but the fact that one boy can knock the wind out of her makes me wonder if she might make some irrational decisions to please him. Something will happen!

I was shocked by how much this book bounces around. Sometimes this book can be very hard to follow and keep up with. Not only this but for people who like to read fast and rush. This is not one of those books that you can rush through. If you rush you will miss all of these small important details that are important later on. I had to re-read a chapter and I am happy I did because it gave me a better understanding.

The way that the junior team carries themselves is remarkable. I like the swagger they have and the confidence they have in their abilities. However, this does not mean you become rude. Confident is one thing, cocky is another. The way Kevin spouted off at his teacher was uncalled for. Yes, they may be very good hockey players, this does not mean you treat the people who helped you like dirt. Joke or not, its wrong.

The more and more I keep reading this book this uneasy feeling about this coach keeps coming back. Not only this but when asked why his daughter Maya plays it off. She makes it seem like there is some big reason why she doesn't even want him to drop her off at school. Maybe this is just family business but I think its more. I predict the coach gets a DUI or into some bad business.

I think that this book has something that some hockey teams need to learn. This is that the club and the team comes first. People and some hockey players get a chip on their soldier that is very hard to get off. Not only this but it shields them from opportunities that could take them to the next level. In this book the club comes first and most players seem to know that. This is why I think they will be champions.
