New Lineup Ever since Matthew J J and Nate started playing ice hockey they’ve played on the same team the Wolves They’re perfect teammates They always seem to know what the other is thinking Sometimes Matthew makes a perfect pass and J J scores a goal Other times J J makes the pass and Nate scores the goal In hockey players substitute while the game is going on This is called a line change 4 CHAPTER 1
