As soon as the puck dropped, the atmosphere in the arena shifted from anticipation to pure violence among both teams.
The Southern Stallions lived up to their name; they weren't just big, they were built like brick walls, and they played like they had something to prove against our winning streak.
I settled into my position at Right Defense, skating toward Kayden who was to my left.
Kayden was already in motion as he passed towards Miller, who was at the center. Immediately as the puck hit his stick, Leon lunged at him, clashing sticks with him.
As soon as Leon got the puck, the Stallions didn't waste time; their right winger took it from Leon and headed towards our net, but he was blocked by Kayden.
My eyes widened and I felt my hands shaking on my stick as the Stallion tried to push Kayden. Instead, Kayden slid below him and passed towards Luca, who fired it toward Miller.
Miller headed to the net and hit it right there.
We won the first point.
