RAYNE
“Rain the Pain!”
“Rain the Pain!”
“Rain the Pain!”
The crowd chanted deafeningly loud, but Rayne “Rain the
Pain” Hamilton was so focused on the little black disc sliding
over the ice that the seven-thousand-plus shouting voices
may as well have been whispering.
It was the last game of the regular season. They were on
home ice; the score tied at two with less than twenty seconds
of play on the clock in the third period. Even though he knew
his team had no chance of making the playoffs this year, he
still wanted them to wrap it up with a win. Their fans
deserved at least that much, after sticking with them
through their disappointing season.
And he wanted to give the crowd what they wanted and
rain the pain.
He dug the edge of his blades into the ice, and changing
course on a dime, he cut across the rink through the neutral
zone and landed an open ice body check on Bridgeport
Corsairs forward number eighty-nine. At six-foot-two and a
few pounds over two-hundred, Rayne’s hit struck like a
wrecking ball, knocking the six-foot-six player clear off his
feet and the puck off his stick. That Rayne’s opponent was
bigger than him didn’t even register in his mind. The crowd
roared, stomping their feet and banging their fists on the
glass.
Rayne grinned as he snatched the loose puck and carried
it into the Corsairs’ defensive zone. He flicked the disc back
to point for his right winger Jacobs to pick up and just
missed getting himself slammed into the boards by one of
Bridgeport’s defensemen.
Rayne skated to the crease, getting in front of the
opposing team’s goalie—a huge guy named Dansk who
practically filled the net with his sheer size alone—to block
his line of sight. Jacobs found an open lane and let a shot rip.
The rocket of a puck went top shelf in the net so hard it sent
Dansk’s water bottle flying onto the ice. The red goal light
flashed as the horn sounded.
Jacobs shot his arms up in victory, and a second later the
air whooshed loudly from his lungs when Rayne crashed into
him and wrapped him up in a bear hug, pulling him off his
feet. Jacobs gloved Rayne’s helmet before giving him a
playful headbutt, laughing, and a second later Rayne was the
one with the breath knocked from him when his teammates,
a bunch of two-hundred-pound overly excited guys, dogpiled on him and Jacobs, hugging and mugging each other’s
helmets and faces in celebration of their win.
It hadn’t been a pretty game, or season, for that matter,
but they’d ended it with something to cheer about. Even
though Rayne and his teammates had missed their shot at
the playoffs this year, they were heading into the off-season
on a high note. Rayne couldn’t even be mad about that.
