I really liked the bittersweet tone to this that comes from sharing one's love of something so important, followed by having to let it go. The reality of life probably ruins more dreams than anything.

I think even when we know we're ready to let go of something, the actual process of letting go can be so difficult. Thank you for reading!

You aimed a direct take on the prompt and it worked so well. Life does that doesn't it ... takes us all in totally unexpected direction like the puck ... sometimes a push here would have it speeding off in an unexpected trajectory.

Thank you! I really hesitated because this seemed like such an 'on the nose' way to handle the prompt, but I'm a big hockey fan so that's just where the inspiration took me. And, it really really does.

Thank you for reading! I'm a huge hockey fan, so I'm glad to have gotten the feeling right!

I like this sort of slice of life story a lot. I really enjoyed that you set it at the end of something wonderful, instead of at the beginning too. A great use of the prompt in its home context!

Thank you! I'm glad you noticed that it was at the end of a journey. I thought that mirrored 'where the puck would end up' vs. 'where the puck would start.' It was a subtle metaphor that kinda worked itself in there on it's own lol.
