A boy on a hockey team faces constant criticism from his coach, who doubts his abilities and tells him to remain on defense during a crucial game. Despite this discouragement, the boy is determined to prove his worth.
Falling Action: The puck ends up hitting the inside of the post and bounces into the net. Their team wins and everybody is cheering for Boy.
Climax: The puck gets passed to him by his best friend. The coach starts telling him to pass it back to somebody else and continues to yell at him. Boy decides he wants to prove the coach wrong and so he starts skating very fast and dodges the other teams defense so he can score the final goal. He looks at the clock and there's only 3.6 seconds left so he realizes he has to shoot the puck even if he's not close enough for a guaranteed goal.
Rising Action: The team starts catching up. Both teams are tied but there's only 37 seconds left.
Inciting Force / Conflict: Coach blames Boy (main character) and continues to insult how he plays. She tells him to not touch the puck for the rest of the game and to stay on defense.
Exposition: A Hockey team is losing a game at a tournament
