Welcome to Litsy!

Lucky. The one adjective used to describe my entire hockey career. I prefer to call it hard work, at least I did until my game went to complete crap. I haven�t scored in eight games and the team owner is talking about trading me. I�ve never believed in superstitions. Never needed one. I suppose I was �lucky� in that way. But now the best way to refer to me is desperate. I�d wear the same socks for an entire year just to be the high-scoring center I used to be. Imagine my surprise when after spending New Year�s Eve with a woman, I score a hat trick in the next game�that�s three goals in one game for you non-hockey lovers. Now, I have to track her down and bribe her to do it again before every game. Get your mind out of the gutter, I�m not talking about it. I find her and when I get to know her better, I end up spending more time thinking about her than my game, but she�s made it clear she wants no part of me. She�s going to learn that I didn�t become a professional hockey player without having to fight for what I want.
