For the first time since February 17th, 2019, Drew stepped onto the ice for a competition instead of just an opportunity to skate. Thanks to a classmates suggestion that he come try out for the team, Drew is getting the opportunity to play competitive hockey once again. Largely due to the long layoff and lack of conditioning, Drew will be joining the junior varsity hockey team for his high school, the Riverview Ice Sharks. This marks the teams 7th game, although obviously Drew's first with them. At this point in the season the team has a record of 2-2-2.

This game is the first of two against the Bloomingdale Bulls, the school's hockey rivals (the two schools used to combine to form a team). It was also an unusual game in that all of the action took place in the first period. Riverview opened the scoring a little over five minutes into the game with a shot that found it's way past the Bloomingdale goalie. Bloomingdale would commit a boarding penalty minutes later, giving the Sharks a big opportunity to widen their lead. Despite numerous shots on goal, the lead stood at 1-0 when the penalty expired. Riverview would add another goal a short while later, thanks to a backhand shot that slipped behind the Bulls goalie. Less than a minute later a hard wrist shot would give Riverview a 3-0 lead. Bloomingdale narrowed the lead just 50 seconds later on a dribbler that slipped under the goalie's pads. The first would come to an end with the Ice Sharks holding a 3-1 lead.

The second period was kind of a snooze, as there wasn't much action at either end of the ice. Riverview ended up taking two penalties in the period, including a 2:00 tripping call on Drew (that was questionable). Bloomingdale also had a penalty in the period, but despite the 6 minutes of power-play time between the two teams, they only managed a single shot on goal each. The third period was a short one, as ice time was running out. Bloomingdale owned the shot advantage this period, but Riverview's goalie and defense held strong, holding on to secure the 3-0 victory.
