It's time for hockey!!! Against your family!!! Sure there's a for reals game tomorrow, but who doesn't like the excitement of playing hockey twice in a row? Especially when you have the chance of crushing your family members (figuratively, of course).

Hazel Keating and Rosemary Stoker are running this thing, of course, and while it's definitely more lax than usual hockey, there are still rules, kids. Before they begin, these rules are explained to everyone. If you know what's good for you, you won't try to push your luck with these girls.

GENERAL RULES

You have to bring a counterpart to play on the Visiting team. This is intended for family members, but if you want to play and don't have someone to ~~force~~ ask to play with you, you can ask a friend! If you have multiple family members who want to play, they can switch out. But only one on the ice at a time, please. We want balanced teams.
Alums are allowed to play on the Home team as long as they have a counterpart on the Visiting team
No wands on the ice except for the referee.
Players aren't allowed any intentional physical contact with other players, because trying to check your family members is frowned upon. We're trying to pretend like Gooseberry is totally safe, ok? Any player found to be ignoring the badge system will be immediately ejected from the game.
There are no positions or goalies.
Helmets and mouthguards are mandatory for all players, any other padding is left to the discretion of the student. Figure skates are not allowed for safety reasons.
For their safety, no one is allowed to cross the neon yellow markers.

As they arrive, each player is assigned to the Home team (made up of Gooseberry students and alums) or the Visiting team (made up of family members and the odd student) and is given a pinny in the color of their team (red on gold for the Home Team and black on seafoam for the Visiting Team).

And then, finally, the game gets underway!! It's not as rough and tumble as usual, of course, but there are quite a few highlights. Like the fact that at some point [Student A] tries to sneak an extra family member on the ice... even though it's pretty obvious that there are too many people on the Visiting team now. They get a really stern look from Hazel and Rosy. What the hell, dude?

Elias Ashworth is too busy flirting to realize that they let the puck sail right between their legs, allowing [Student C] to score.

Oh, yeah, and that really accidental collision between Clementine Decourt and their father. .... That was an accident, right?

HOW THIS WORKS:

Because we have actual hockey to run tomorrow, we just rolled the scores ahead of time!
Post below if you want to play out any scenes! Also, feel free to say your kids and their family member(s) played, even if you don't 'check in.'
The referee for this match is Rosemary Stoker. She's very serious about this job, guys. Don't make her mad.
Unless you've run it by the mods, there can't really be any major drama! So, like, don't break someone please.

The Home Team wins!!

» THE "RINK" Where the action happens. Feel free to play out any scenes of (not really) carnage here. Flirt on the ice with your classmates. Smack talk your fam (but don't smack them, please).

» SPECTATORS & BENCHES: Did you come to watch this drama unfold? Are your poor neglected (or maybe just non-ice-faring) family members watching you try to not check your dad? Here you go!

» AFTER THE GAME: Trash talking your mom is totally acceptable behavior, right?
