Chapter 1: Team Meeting

"Hey guys, we have to talk, team meeting, at the cafe, everyone." Charlie Conway called out to his friends and team mates, and they nodded as their coach, Ted Orion, answered him gently at that. "What's going on captain?" he asked and he explained that. "Like you said this is no longer the peewees anymore, and our original plays. They are no longer effective, so time to fix this as we incorporate ones that match up to two way hockey."

"We're no longer ducklings, we're fully grown adult ducks, that was the past, this is the present and our future games are the future, coach. I'm ready to take on the mantle for the next four years, but the goal is the olympics, playing hockey internationally. That's in my case, or get into college and both of those call for winning every game there is. Staying out of trouble and controlling my team now." he said and Orion nodded to him.

"Ted, Gordon!" they heard and they both turned to the headmaster of the school as he came up to them. "Guys I just got word back right now, the board got another set of scholarships into the school for another team. They're not replacing you, but it seems like the grudge match we just had, they're fighting you for the symbol of the school now." he said and they exchanged looks and hoping to god he was wrong, Charlie said it then.

"Who is it, Adam just rejoined the team and he's still sore from the amount of damage done by Gunner Stahl's team mate 7 months ago." he asked and Dean Buckley said it to him. "Do the names Jack Reilly and the Hawks mean anything to you, Conway?" he asked and he closed his eyes. "They do, but we just embarrased the heck out of them when I got the penalty shot that year, they tried to jump us and Fulton let the trio have it."

"3 years and now this hits, when's the last game of the season, we need 5 months to train, without us crossing their path or them, us. No more screwing around, and forget the psyche we're not letting them get us into a case of mind games. Not after the grudge match game 6 weeks ago." he asked and he nodded. "In March, if you want to press it to the final week of the school year we can do that." Buckley said and he nodded firmly.

"Done, tell him, Reilly, we want a rematch in 7 months, and it's playing for the school title of who is truly the school symbol of Eden Hall now. My team and I are the only ones who know how dirty they play, but their motto is 'It's not worth winning if you can't win big', they focus more offense then defense, but the only ducks. Who know how dirty they play are me, Connie, Guy, Fulton, Goldberg, Averman and Adam, Jesse was number 8."

"But the 8 of us played one game and we lost, we played in the championships and we beat them, but to get them where it hurts the most. It's by the scoreboard now, Coach you're what Coach Bombay was like, so we got a lot of work to do. But they think nothing changed, we're still using our original plays, we use that against them. In the case of the 7 and me, stage act our plays and go for the throat." he said and Orion nodded firmly.

"And you better stop showing off and in the show boating Robertson, before you get hurt again, understand." he said looking over his shoulder at Dwayne Robertson. "Sure thing coach, I just checked on Guy, he barely missed breaking a rib, he's down for a week." he told him and he nodded. "Damn it, alright we need a back up at the moment, who's left of the team that won the Goodwill games?" He asked and Charlie answered that one.

"Jesse Hall, he's moved to Chicago as well, but we could use him, get him in on scholarship and we still got a full team with 14 players." he said and Orion nodded. "Alright, Gordon, can you take care of that, because with the fact that we just beat your arch rivals after 3 years it's about to start all over again. And the 8 may know everything about Riley and the Hawks, but the sextet don't." he said and their former coach nodded.

"What are the chances the quintet return to the team and with them, Jess exactly, because Terry is living with his father. The Duncans moved to Lakeside Minnesota and Peter and Karp are now living in L.A.?" Constance, Connie, Monroe asked softly and he sighed. "Extremely high, but Hans is gone and Coach Bombay is dropping in every now and again to see us now, so it's they got to get used to Coach Orion like we did at first."

"But look at us now that we fixed the kinks in the gang here, sure new school, new look, but in the end we're the same old Ducks. Adam is back on the team, Dean is back and I just finished my soul search and you know what I realized: it doesn't matter where I am. This is home, as long as we're together, we're home, besides the Hawks are back to being our former rivals and we test the strength of our new plays in 7 months."

"But whoever calls us losers, or white trash, are the ones that are having a tough time accepting the fact that just because we're on scholarship, that doesn't mean. Now, that we're not as good as they are, case in point, straight A's in every class, we got friends outside the team. And we keep this up and every college in the country is going to want us or we get into the olympics and play internationally again and with that now."

"It's time, we turned over a new leaf, and it's not like being ducklings anymore, time to grow up and change, we're a flock, old ducks and new ducks. Those guys say we don't belong here, but we do, we just have to show it now. This is the first of many change for us, it's like getting sponsered, so we show we deserve that sponser." he said and she smiled and nodded, as his former coach and mentor, Gordon Bombay smiled at that.

"Starting line up, group meeting, get over here!" he said to the group and his friends Lester Averman, Adam Banks, Fulton Reed and Russ Tyler moved to them. "Guys bad news, it's seems our arch rivals are starting school here. And their challenging us in the same grudge match we just had." he said and the trio paled at that. "The Hawks are starting school here, what now Charlie?" Adam asked and he explained that to him.

"Like Coach said our peewee tricks won't work at this level anymore, we have to change a few things, but as the captain of the team, we just got sponsered now. But this was the lecture coach gave us in training that day, real defense now. Our lives were spiraling out of control, until one thing brought us back from the brink and that was Hans. But though things changes, what doesn't is our bonds of friends and family now and with that."

"The lesson he taught us was that though things changed, what doesn't is us, our bonds of friendship, we're not ducklings anymore, but that doesn't change anything. We're still the same old ducks, but you're the hawk that landed in the lake. And just after you got hit by McGill and as a result of that decision, and your inner bird was reborn a duck now. I get it, you're sick of being cut off from us buddy, well that's done with man."

"It doesn't matter where we live or what background we come from we're just as good as they are, now it's time to show it." he said as his mother answered him. "You know you're right, sure we lived on a small income, but that doesn't mean, now. That we're not just as good as those brats, you just demonstrated that today, Charlie and I'm proud of you." Casey Conway said and he smiled at her then as he came to a decision, smiling.

"That's was the very point to my training son, you just hit it dead on now, these changes have your life spiraling out of control, so the only way to keep it from overwhelming you. Is to fight back, even when you don't have any control, take back the court because you can not be afraid to lose, I was waiting for you to realize that. But that's why you're the captain, you guide them, like I you." Orion said and Charlie nodded as he answered him.

"Well it's time we met our baby sister and your family, coach, you're just as much our father as our own are now. But a bigger family, a flock, but things change, life changes, as the captain of the team I had to face my soul search alone and now that I did. I can do this as a high schooler hockey captain now." he said and they nodded. "So ideas, Captain, if we're rewriting the playbook?" Orion asked and he smiled as he answered.

"Yeah, new plan, coach, we let the Hawks and the Warriors, Varsity team, take the rink, we train outside the school rink, either at the street hockey court we play at. The lake during winter, or the ice skating rink, our sponser is Hans ice skating and hockey goods store now. So we need to create 5 more jerseys like this one for the quintet. Symbolizing the changes, old ducks and new ducks." he said and Orion smiled at his idea gently.

"As I said, the scholarships can not be voided except for due cause here, said cause is you getting in trouble with the police, so guys stay out of trouble now, okay. I'll come back to check on you every few weeks, but Ted is your new coach now. I'll go talk to the Halls, Duncans and the duo's parents, but just remember what we both taught you now." Gordon said and the 12 all nodded to him gently as they exchanged looks then.

"Remembering the love for skating, just the freedom of spreading our wings and flying, but the 13 of us are the ducks now. We need Jesse back, to make it an even number once again, but we're still one team with one fallen member, always." Charlie said and his friends, mother and the duo nodded in agreement as they ended the conversation at that.
