Imagine that your parents go to a charity auction and come home with a hockey stick signed by Wayne Gretsky!

She becomes the star of her hockey team, but then she reads that Wayne is having problems with his game. He is in the worst slump of his career. Could it be that he is missing his hockey stick?
