Heck, they could all play with one hand tied behind their back and still beat them by a million goals. Everyone knows mothers can hardly skate, let alone play hockey. Why were they playing this game anyway, some of the boys wondered. Tommy said he'd heard his Dad say The big game? something to his Mom like "I dare you!" The talk in the boys' dressing room was not about whether they would win but by how much they would win. The only one who was a little worried was John. His mom had threatened to feed him spinach and liver for a week if he beat her. On the ice, it was hard to concentrate on the warm-up. It was more fun to watch the mothers at the other end trying to stand up. Some of the boys over heard them deciding what positions they would play. It was really weird! Jim and John's mothers seemed to be the only ones Church women plan anniversary Unit leader Mrs. Elsie Tuckey welcomed all to the April 6, U.C.W. meeting held in the ladies parlour. With the weather being so nice she thought everyone should be in a busy mood. Roll call "Why we like spring" was answered by 33 ladies. A lovely letter was read, received from our orphan from World Vision of Korea. Mrs. Carol Willard thanked everyone who helped at the wedding and stated the meat was delicious.

Or, maybe they were just better at pretending than the others. They decided the ones who couldn't skate at all would play goal. But no hockey team uses four goalies for one game! Finally two goalies were chosen, but they wanted to play at the same time, each holding onto one post. The boys were upset. If they tried to cheat like that at school or anywhere else, they'd be in big trouble. Maybe that's what Eric's big brother meant when he talked about parents' double standards. For once the kids won, and only one goalie was allowed to play in the mothers' net at one time. The mothers, who wanted to stay close to the boards, would play the wings. The ones, who could stand without leaning on their sticks, would play centre and take the face-offs. It was not necessary to be able to move the stick when taking a face-off, Jim and John's mothers assured the others, but it might help. The im- portant thing was not to fall on their face. Odds'n ends The question, "Who can skate backwards?" was answered with dead silence. If you play defence, you should be able to skate back- wards. Oh, well, maybe not. The defencemen, defen- cewomen, would just have to hang back behind the play. When they saw a kid heading towards them with the puck, they would just turn, skate back to their end as fast as they could and help the goalie anyway they could. A whistle blew. The referee, alias Tommy's father, was standing at centre ice ready to start the game. As the boys lined up for the face-off, they thought, "If this had been a real game, maybe we could have gotten a real referee. We probably won't even get sweated up." John glanced at his mother and pictured spinach and liver. As the mothers lined up for the face-off, they wondered, 'Whose idea was this mother and son hockey game, anyway?" Then they remembered, and they all glared at the referee, who was laughing so hard he dropped the puck before anyone was ready.
