The Mystery of the Missing Goalie “We won the OMHA 2-1 and I scored the winning goal in overtime”! Said Ryan “Hi my name is Ryan and we just won the OMHA’s wooooooh”! Said excited Ryan. “Hey watch where you’re walking bud, it looks like that’s a parent from the other team who’s probably not so happy. Who cares son we won! “Said Ryan. Four days later, Ryan was waiting for his brother the goalie of their hockey team to get out of the change room, but when Ryan went in the change room to get John the only thing there was his equipment. He asked everyone if they saw John and they said that he went with his uncle or someone close to him. That was great, but he remembered his uncle took a trip to Florida and left from California yesterday. “Oh no! My brother was kidnapped”! Said worried Ryan. “Whoa give me my stick back”! Said John. The man said ok and threw his stick at the ground, but luckily it did not snap. The guy was probably involved with the kidnapping. “Hey! Wait” yelled Ryan. “He left a card, wait a second my dad used to work there but it shut down seven years ago in 2006. Now it’s 2013 they probably have John there at the shoe factory which is 10 minutes from the arena.” Ryan thought. “Hey Mitch can you do me a favour.” Said Ryan. “Sure no problem” Said Mitchell. “Can you help me find John”? Asked Ryan. “Where do you think he’ll be”? Mitchell wondered. “He’ll probably be at the closed down shoe factory on Second St. Let’s go get John”. Said determined Ryan. 10 minutes later… “Hey Mitch I found something”. Said Ryan “What is it “? Asked Mitchell “I think it’s a clue and a riddle”. Stated Ryan. It says; Come to the OMHA rink and go to blue, turn left and you will find a clue and you will play for the swan or as you call him John. “Mitch we have to back to the rink the one where we won the OMHA’s”. Said Ryan. “You mean Valley Park”. Mitchell asked “Yeah Valley Park”. Said Ryan “So go into the blue side, turn left, and there it is”! Said Ryan. “The clue; this rink you are right now go to room three and watch for a tree”. “Mitch let’s go”. Said Ryan Five minutes later… “Come on Mitch let’s jump on the ice. Hey why are John and coach Bob taped to the bench”? Asked Ryan “Ok boys here’s the deal, you score five goals you get you’re coach, you score seven you get John. If you want both you have to score twelve goals on my son, Mason wait ‘till the buzzer goes then you can start. Here’s the rules, you have to make two passes and score with only a slap shot in the top corner or bar down and into the net. Ready set go! Beeeeeeeeeeeepp! Start”! The man said. “Here Mitch heads up here comes the pass! Let’s do a quick tic-tac-toe play go! One, two, three slap shot! Scores top corner”! Ryan said. 1-0 still two more periods to go to get coach Bob and John. After the second period 7-0, one more period to score five more goals. “Let’s go get coach and John before our practice starts or else we’ll be in trouble, ok let’s hurry then.” Said Ryan. “Just to let you boys know you have to face two defensemen my friends. Go”! He said. “Mitch pass the puck! Cycle, wheel, 21! Man those systems work look how many goals we scored. We have one more to score so get ready because those defensemen are going to try to hit us, so we have to stay strong and shoot from far away and we have ten seconds left”! Yelled Ryan. He shoots and he scores! “We won”! Ryan yelled. “Hey dude why did you kidnap Bob and John”? Asked Ryan. “Ask you’re coach”. He said. “Wait don’t go”! Ryan Hollered “ Hey coach why did that weird guy kidnap John and you”? Asked Ryan. “Because I kidnaped John first because I heard that this guy was out to get you and the only way to really hurt you was to kidnap your brother, so I did it to protect him. He eventually found us and kidnaped both of us so I couldn’t tell you and he went to get you because you beat his son in the championship game for the OMHA’s and his son was the goalie and his dad bet someone that his son’s team was going to win but you scored and won the game. So that’s why this happened”. Said coach Bob. “ok wait I remembered were going to be late for practice”. Said Ryan.
