Brady Brady and the Icehogs were thrilled to be playing in the most important hockey tournament of the season – The Gold Stick. All the Icehogs worked hard on their playing skills – and on making sure that everyone in town knew about the tournament. There were posters everywhere describing the big event. Brady Brady was so excited he slept in his equipment the night before the first Gold Stick game. The Icehogs played well; the arena was crowed, and the Icehogs advanced to the final. Then trouble struck. The Icehogs’ opponents for the final match-up were the Dragoons. Everyone knew the Dragoons played dirty hockey; they tripped opponents, slashed, and cheated. But the Icehogs rose to the challenge, and the final game of the Gold Stick proved a valuable lesson for all involved.

Brady Brady and the Icehogs love to play hockey, and they love to play hockey together. Some players like Brady Brady and tes are stars. Others are not so talented on the ice, but have their own unique qualities to contribute to the team. Kev has been an Icehog from the very beginning, but he doesn’t get to play very much. Kev doesn’t care. He has never missed a game. He roots fro all the plays. He helps out in practice, and cleans up after the games. Everyone in the arena can always hear Kev yelling, "Go, Icehogs, Go!" Then kev is offered a starting position with another team. What to do? – stay with the Icehogs or move on and gain more ice-time? It is a difficult decision for Kev.
