Enzo and Matt worked together to create a fast break, passing the puck back and forth as they advanced down the ice. The opposing team’s defense swarmed around them, trying to block their path, but Enzo’s size and strength proved too much to handle.

Enzo and Matt continued to dominate, using their superior strength and agility to outmaneuver their opponents at every turn.
