Sample 6/20/24

Kyra is leaving Beartown in a Volvo car. She heard Peter getting sick in the bathroom, which makes her wonder about the impact of hockey on the young players. There's a joke among the women in Beartown about their husbands' obsession with hockey, but Kyra doesn't find it funny because she understands it too well. Kyra is sitting in the Volvo, heading away from Beartown. She heard Peter throwing up in the bathroom this morning. If that's what hockey does to grown men in this town, what on earth must it be doing to the 17-year-old juniors who are playing in the game tomorrow? There's an old joke among the women of Beartown, I just wish my husband would look at me the way he watches hockey. It's never made Kyra laugh, because she understands it all too well.
