Even though Pat was a professional hockey player, his $40,000 salary could not help him afford a better car than his 1993 Plymouth Sundance. Driving to the XL Center was always an adventure, but especially today.

It was Sunday and usually the team had the day off after a Saturday game but Pat liked to come in and use the weight room and work out by himself. Sometimes Mark Bell joined him, and recently Brandon Dubinsky had been as well since the Rangers had sent him down.

Coming out of the weight room drenched in sweat and dead tired, he heard his cell phone ringing from the locker room.

Answering it, he heard a voice he hadn’t heard since he had been put on the first line.

“Hey, Pat. I have some news for ya kid, so if you can be at the rink in 20 minutes that would be great,” Jim Schoenfield said breathlessly.

“I’m already here sir. I was just in the weight room.”

“Spectacular. I’m on my way to the locker room. As I said, I have some news.”

…5 Minutes Later…

“Hey Pat, great to see you here on your day off.”

“Actually, we have a game today Mr. Schoenfield,” Pat said confused.

“Actually son, you don’t. I’ve just gotten the call from Mr. Sather. Sean Avery is injured and you’re his replacement. Be proud of yourself son. I honestly didn’t think you would get past the third line down here, but you’ve proved your worth. The Rangers believe in you kid and that’s what matters.”

“Thank you so much sir. I won’t let you or the Rangers down. I promise.”

“Well you have some time kid, your first game is tomorrow in New York against Phoenix and they expect you to get there by 11 for their morning skate.”

Pat was so excited he didn’t know what to do. He knew he had to call his family and then tell Tommy and Brodie the news. He knew that they would be excited for him even though they were still down in the AHL.
