Mall trip

This past weekend at our away trip, we had a good 3 hours to kill in between games. So, we decided to go to the mall as a team. It was a ridiculous way to kill time. Since we have a no cell phone/no parents allowed rule during road trips, unless you had money, the mall was pretty pointless. What does coach think, we're a bunch of girls? It would have been a lot nicer if we could have just stayed in the hotel room and played cards or whatever. Not being able to buy anything, not being able to even talk to anyone on the phone is the dumbest rule ever. Coach thinks we won't be focused if we hang out with our parents like 5 hours before the game. Why? I don't know. All I know is that when we were losing going into the third period, Coach came into the lockerroom and threw this box of screws on the ground so hard that the box opened and all the screws went everywhere. He was screaming at us for not focusing while we were at the mall, that he saw us on our cell phones and some people were walking around with their parents. Honestly, how can you expect the mall to be the place where we're gonna get our game faces on? I didn't use my phone or anything that day, but it didn't matter because we all had to skate for a half hour at the end of Monday's practice. It was brutal and it made me hate these dumb rules even more than I already do.
