Tripping — Kristine Allen

Tripping: When a player trips an opposing player with their stick, or uses their skate against the other player's skate, causing them to lose balance or fall and obstruct them from making their desired play.I'm Cameron McGregor, center for the Austin Amurs. Tripping is my penalty. I don't set out to do it, but it still lands me two minutes in the box every time.Hockey is my life blood. I eat, sleep, and bleed hockey. Being chosen to play for the Amurs was a dream come true. Money, hockey, and women. I didn't need anything else.Until Bleu.She hated hockey players, but I didn't care—come hell or high water, I was going to change her mind.I had her convinced to let me in before I messed up. It looked bad; I can't lie. Then, instead of fixing it, I made it worse. Now I have to find a way to get her back.I'm not going to walk away from what I love. I want it all. Because it turns out I need her as much as hockey—she tripped me good.
