My Hockey Book (Complete Story)
Josh Hermann starring in
My Hockey Hero
This book was created especially for
Josh Hermann at the age of 5
For My Special Grandson
Grandpa Ron
November 2010
The championship game was only hours away. The
Aardvarks, Josh's favorite team, were just one game away from being the champs.
Josh had already invited
Zach, Tyler and Jimmy to watch
the game on television with him. All that was left to do was check the snacks
and, for the fourth time today, study the team line-ups.
Unknown to Josh, the
Aardvarks were in trouble. The
coach had just learned that the star goalie had a sprained ankle and could not
play tonight. The team needed another goalie.
"What about that kid, Josh so-and-so, who you just
signed," the coach asked the team's general manager.
"You mean that kid who
lives in Newaygo, MI?" replied the G.M. "He's a little young and inexperienced!"
"Call him," replied the
coach, "and get him here any way you can, even if you have to rent a private
jet. All we need is a back-up in case of injury. He'll just sit on the bench."
The general manager, a bit nervous about tonight's
game, still couldn't remember the goalie's last name. "Was it Leroux, Lamante,
Hermann? Yes, Hermann, I think that was it," the G.M. said and he quickly looked
through the Newaygo, MI phone book for the number.
For Josh, time was moving slowly. When the phone rang,
Josh answered.
"Hi," said the G.M. "I
know this is unusual, Josh, but we have a game tonight and we need you to play.
I'm sending someone to pick you up."
"Sure," Josh said
somewhat reluctantly, knowing he would miss the big game on television. "But I'd
like to bring along Zach, Tyler and Jimmy."
"No problem," replied the
G.M.
Josh quickly gathered
his
hockey gear and waited to be picked up.
In no time an official hockey-looking guy rang the door
bell. "Is Josh here?" he asked.
"Right here,"
Josh
replied.
"Where?" said the hockey
guy looking around the room.
"Right here," said
Josh
again.
"But! But! You look like
you're only 5 years old," replied the surprised official. "Are you that good of
a goalie?"
"Yeah, I'm pretty good,"
Josh replied.
"Where are we going?" Josh asked as they jumped into a
limousine.
"To the home arena of the
Aardvarks," replied the hockey-type guy. "The game is sold out. There will be
thousands of people at the arena and another 10 million watching on television."
"Sure, 10 million
watching and me playing at the home of the Aardvarks! Does he really think I
believe him?" Josh thought to himself.
When they finally arrived at the arena, and
Josh saw
all the fans rushing into the building, he didn't know what to think.
"Follow me," said the
hockey-type guy. "And don't sign any autographs - we haven't got enough time."
Josh followed, but now
he
was nervous. Zach, Tyler and Jimmy looked nervous too.
"Here's the kid," the hockey-type guy said to the coach
when they reached the dressing room.
"Where?" asked the coach.
"Right here," he replied,
pointing at Josh.
The coach looked down at
Josh. "You can't be serious?" the coach asked.
The coach looked at Josh again. "Did the G.M. call
you?" he asked.
"Yes," replied
Josh.
"You must be the best
young goalie in the whole world," the coach said in amazement.
"Yeah, I'm pretty good,"
Josh replied.
Josh quickly put on
his hockey gear and went out with
the team for the pregame warmup. As soon as the coach saw Josh on the ice he
knew a mistake had been made. Josh was pretty good, but no
5-year-old had ever
played goalie in this league. "It's lucky that I can just keep the kid on the
bench," the coach thought to himself.
The game was incredibly exciting. There were hard hits,
scoring chances galore, end to end action and great saves. As the third period
wound down, the score was tied 2-2.
Josh was happy. These
were the best seats he had ever had to watch his favorite team.
The game ended in a flurry with both goalies making incredible saves. Overtime
was next.
In the dressing room some of the Aardvarks started to
complain about their stomachs. One by one, they went into the trainer's room.
The flu bug had hit the team!
Zach, Tyler and Jimmy
whispered to Josh. "You may have to play."
"Awesome," replied Josh.
Winning seemed impossible. With most of the players
sick, the team was wearing down. And then it happened! The goalie skated over to
the bench and came off the ice.
"Get another goalie on
the ice," the referee yelled to the coach.
The coach looked down the
bench. "Josh - just how good are you?" he asked.
"I'm pretty good,"
Josh
replied.
"Out you go," said the
coach. "Do your best."
Josh was a pretty good goalie but these players shot
the puck harder than anyone he had ever played against. The first shot whizzed
by the net, missing by inches. Josh never saw it.
The second shot hit him
in the glove and stayed there. The crowd roared in approval but
Josh never saw
the puck either.
Josh's team played even
harder. With a rookie goalie in the net, they knew they had to score soon to
win. Then it happened! Josh's team got caught up the ice. The other team had a
breakaway!
The player skated in and blasted a shot - high to the
blocker side. Josh flicked out his blocker and made the greatest save of his
life. The shot glanced off the glove, into the corner, and around the boards.
One of the
Aardvarks took
the puck up the ice and scored. They had won in overtime!
Josh was interviewed on television.
He only remembered answering one question.
"Yeah, I'm pretty good,"
he said.
