Convinced it's helping his game, he winds up to take a shot... and misses! Unfortunately the puck soars over the net and into a snowbank! Everyone jumps in after it, but it's lost.Brady's friends try to help him think of an excuse, but by the time his father comes home, Brady decides he should tell the truth. Luckily, although his dad is hurt and disappointed, he's proud of his son for taking responsibility for his actions. And, just as luckily, he's noticed that Brady's dog has retrieved the puck, and assures his son that it's closer than he thinks.
