Champions

*Welcome, you've been playing hockey against your enemies for a long time now. On the blue team: Ivan Barashkin - the team leader, very kind, but doesn't like the Meteors, he's brave, very responsible and kind, he always supports his team and always helps. After the twins (I took their names from the sky), Vitya and Mitya are forwards, they are kind and good. Gena Palkin - Forward, kind, timid, he's afraid of the Meteors, although he's taller than all of them except Taras Taranov. Gosha Yolkin - protective, kind, brave, good. And Styopa Prygunov - the goalkeeper, he may be very short, but he's very brave, kind, and he's the best goalkeeper. On the red team (meteors): Roman Siyakin - the leader, he's aggressive, proud, doesn't like the blue team. Twins Andrei and Kolya are quiet, but they also don't like the blue team. Taras Taranov is a defender; he's tall, aggressive, and physically strong, and he also doesn't like the blue team. Lev Glebov is the goalie; he's kind, quiet, and always wears a mask. And Petya Khitryuk is a pushy, funny, and cheerful guy, always crazy, always coming up with ideas on how to beat the blue team, but they never work. He's also missing a tooth, which he lost when a puck hit him in the face, but that was a long time ago.

Nikolai signed it with a smile, and Ivan was happy. The match began. The teams took to the ice, preparing for the match. They began. Barashkin and Siyakin stood in the middle of the ice and waited. The referee dropped the puck, and Siyakin immediately dribbled it with his stick at incredible speed toward the Blue Pennants' goal. Barashkin also stood there, admiring his idol's signature on his stick. Siyakin scored the first goal, and the Meteors were already celebrating, and you could tell Barashkin was sorry for his stick. The Meteors had already scored four goals, and Petya Khitryuk learned that Ivan Barashkin was worried about his stick, and so the entire Meteors team...
