The afternoon practice had been brutal but Hockey was brimming with energy. Just the knowledge that the immortals were coming to play was enough to give him enough power to skate as long as he wanted. The Garden was in a good mood too, alternating between changing the music every few minutes, putting on a light show and broadcasting a video feed of Hockey onto the jumbotron. Currently, he was blaring the Hockey Night in Canada theme song and alternating red and white lights as the camera tracked Hockey's progress on the ice, the player skating suicides.

Start against the wall, skate to the blue line, skate back to the wall, skate to center and so on. He had done twenty full repetitions before the players started to trickle onto the ice and he grinned as he took off his helmet to reveal sweat-plastered hair. Did they really think he was doing this for fun? Playoffs were around the corner and one would think at least one of the ancients would have figured that out. "'Sup guys?" He asked cheerfully, coming to a sharp stop a few feet away from where they had converged, blinking quickly and the music was suddenly shut off. But the Garden was still being playful and words appeared on the jumbotron. 'GIRLS ON OUR ICE? REALLY, PUCK?' Hockey just shook his head up toward the rafters. "Can it, sexist pig."

Of course, he felt the same way but his guests didn't need to know that. "Sorry about him. Anyway. Rules are there are no rules. Don't kill each other but feel free to spill as much blood as possible," At this, the words 'FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT' appeared on the screen, Hockey just ignoring it. "Oh, and I play to win." He bared his teeth in a slightly violent grin but his head was jerking toward the home bench as a slight figure dressed in jeans and a New Jersey Devils jersey leaned out over the boards. "Can I watch at least?" Wrath asked with a flirtatious smile.

Hockey's eyes narrowed for a moment but after a split second, the smile was back on his face as he dropped his gloves and stick on the ice and skated casually over to her. "Of course, beautiful. I heard you dyed your hair blonde. It's a pity you changed it back." Wrath's eyes showed shame for just a moment but it turned to anger as Hockey's hand grabbed a fistful of her hair and dragged her out over the boards and onto the ice, pulling her behind him as he skated with unnatural speed and strength over to the penalty box. Tossing her inside, he heard her head crack against the glass but soon she was testing the locked door (courtesy of the Garden) and trying to scramble up and over the glass with screams of fury. "Help me out, old friend." Hockey's voice sounded cold and bloody and reverberated through the arena as he looked up to the rafters and an image of a smiley face popped up on the screen as the glass began to warp at the sides, effectively closing off the top.

Wrath, to her credit, instantly whipped out her cell phone. "Theon, you fucker, get the fuck over here-" But the Garden cut off her service and she screamed again, pounding against the glass. An easy smile on his face as he skated back over to them, he raised his eyebrows at Death. "You are the only representative of her pantheon present. Will you remove her from my temple once we are done?" The Garden's only contribution was a bright red 'GTFO' and Hockey rolled his eyes. "Are we ready to play?" A slight movement of his fingers and 'Let's Get Ready To Rumble' was blaring and the lights brightened, the cameras focusing down on Hockey as he set the puck down on center ice and moved into position to take the face-off.
