It was an afternoon practice, the boys all in a circle around Eruzione as they stretched, joking about what they were gonna eat later.

"Rizzo's makin' dinner boys. You know there's gonna be some meatballs." One man joked, causing the team to chuckle as Rizzo smiled. "You boys keep eatin em' I'll keep makin em."

They chuckled again as another boy commented. "You guys are insane to eat those... No Offense Rizzo." Rizzo shrugged as the boys laughed again, continuing stretching while the coaches talked.

They had a plan to implement a new player to see how things worked, but Coach Craig Patrick was worried about how they would take it, while their main coach, Herb Brooks, cared less.
