Sidney's POV
"What do you mean?" I asked as Megs walked into the changing room. She wasn't fully changed, she didnt have her shoulder pads on, her skates or her practise jersey, but she had the rest of her gear on and a black tank top.
"Well, we looked into some things after Megan's first practise. Turns out we were next in line for the 2009 draft, and we can still make draft picks until the 2010 draft lotto." the coach said.
"Where are you going with this?" Jordan asked.
"I played University hockey." Megs said with a smirk and almost every single one of the guys in this change room smiled, we all knew where he was going with this.
"If the League officials authorise it, it's not going to be easy." the coach said. "The rest of the league isn't going to go easy on her because she's a girl. In fact they might go harder on her. So you'll have to look out for her even more so than you would look out for each other." the coach said before his cell phone went off. Everyone watched as he answered.
"So what did you decide?" he asked after a second and I swear you could hear a pin drop in the dressing room while we waited.
"Thank you." the coach said, but you couldn't tell if he was happy or not.
"Heaton. Welcome to the Pittsburgh Penguins." the coach said and everyone cheered.
"Well, why don't you play a little 3 on 3, Heaton I want to see how you play with Sid, so first line is going to be Crosby, Heaton and Malkin vs. Staal Kennedy and Cooke. The rest of you can work out teams while I make some calls. I have a feeling Mario's going to want to spread the word about our newest player as fast as possible so we can add you to the roster in time for the Capitals game on Tuesday." The coach said before he walked out and the assistant coach followed him again.
"Megs! I can't believe it!" Jordan said standing up and hugging her.
"I know!" she said smiling ear to ear.
"You're going to be the first woman in the NHL!" Marc said hugging her the minute Jordan let go.
"You're making history already and you haven't even played a game." I said and she smiled, hugging me after Marc let her go.
"I seriously cannot believe this is actually happening!" she said and I laughed.
"You'll get used to it. And I think I can speak for the whole team when I say, we're proud to be the only ones with a woman on the team."
"Thanks, I'm glad you guys want me on your team, most guys would say 'Hockey's a guys sport! Go grab some pom poms princess!'." Megs said chuckling.
"Heaton! Come here for a minute." The assistant coach called, poking his head in the door.
"Yes sir?" Megs asked walking over to him.
"We need to know what number you want to be." he said.
"16." Megs said smiling and he nodded.
"Wild One?" Jordan asked and she nodded.
"Am I the only one confused?" I asked.
"Nope, we're just as confused." Marc said and Tyler nodded.
"My mom was a really famous singer, her 16th number one hit was called Wild One, it was my favourite." Megs said and I smiled.
"Hustle! Come on guys! Practise!" the assistant coach called and we all grabbed out stuff.
"I'll be there in a minute, I need to grab the rest of my gear." Megs said to the assistant couch and he nodded. All the other players were already out of the changing room.
"See you in a few, Captain Kid." Meg said reaching up on her tip toes to kiss my check before walking out of the change room to get her stuff.
well i'll go get my pom poms to cheer you on!
