    Summary

    “Can I tell you a secret?” Mom asks.

    Shane nods immediately. He likes secrets. Especially from his mother. She knows everything about everything.

    “It doesn’t matter what they say or do,” she tells him. “The only thing that matters is what you do on the ice.”

    “Score lots of goals?” Shane clarifies, since eleven-year-old boys do all kinds of things on the ice.

    “Score lots of goals.” Mom nods with a grin. “The ice doesn’t care who you are, Shane. So, you go out there and give it your everything. Then nothing else matters.”

    “You promise?” Shane whispers.

    “I promise,” Mom tells him firmly. “If you’re good on the ice, they won’t care who you are off it.”
