The Born Loser by Art & Chip Sansom Gladys: Practicing hockey again? Wilberforce: I've been practicing so much, I'm getting to be a pretty good hockey player! Gladys: Did you know I used to play hockey when I was young? Wilberforce: No way! Are you messin' with me? Gladys: No, I'm not. I played on my school's field hockey team.
