The tale of the most developed lad and the crunched up polo mints
Every year had them.. the lad that was bigger, and stronger, and had developed about 10 years earlier than should have done. In our year we had several, though this story is about Jamie Wall. He was like a 20 year old, that had to go back to school as part of his 'community service'.

This story also involves Bulraj Bhandal. A fat porky asian kid, who always seemed to be the one laughing at other peoples misfortune..

We were playing hockey on one of the hard playing surfaces.. cue much pushing and shoving and tripping people up to see who could get the best graze. Until that is, when the ball happened to stop at Jamie Wall's feet.

He lined the ball up, just as you would teeing off on a golf course. Instantly, people dived out of the way, and clutched at their shins in fear.

One person oblivious to this was Bulraj Bhandal, who for some reason thought it was wise to stand behind Jamie, rather than face the cannonball strike from his overdeveloped muscular frame.

What Bulraj didn't account for, was the powerful backswing required to make such a shot. Jamie fiercly drew his hockey stick back.. connecting with the grinning face of Bulraj !

There was a moments silence.. Everybody stopped and looked at Bulraj, as 1 by 1, all of his front teeth rained down on the floor like crunched up polo mints.

Cue Bulraj squealing like a little girl, as he was taken to the nearest dentist.

Leaving the class, stood there, ultimately pissing ourselves so much we had to stop play.

Something similar happened at our school
when the boy's front two teeth got stuck in the hockey stick and were ripped out when the downswing was applied.

There's the whole "stick over shoulder height" rule, but when you're at school, there's generally someone taller than you!

oddly, the same thing happened at my school...
I guess it must be a fairly common thing.

Teachers should make a note: Under no circumstances give teenage lads hockey sticks, unless you enjoy waiting for ambulances to arrive....

I was on the girls hockey team in my last year of School
and while there was no stick to the face incidents, and no loss of teeth, I did once give a rather nasty headbutt to a girl from another school. She had to have a little sitdown. Teenage girls can be just as brutal.
