not enough hockey sticks to go around, so a game of
broom hockey had evolved. discarded ski caps served as
goal markers, and the kids skated back and forth on the
backyard "rink." the impromptu game stretched to fill the
entire morning of the canceled school day. marco was the
last to leave the ice, gathering neglected gear and a
forgotten puck. as he glided toward the bank, he heard a
creak and a pop. a crack began to snake its way across the

skate went through the ice. luckily, the other skate glided
to a stop in the bank's frozen mud, giving marco just
enough leverage to pull his frosty skate out of the melting
mess
