Beginning of the Tournament

The story "Beginning of the Tournament" is a story by Witi Ihimaera. It starts out with Witi's father calling Witi and telling Witi that he needs to be at Waituhi to play in a hockey tournament. Witi gets his friend Jerry to come over and join in on the game. They have a parade and some judges judge the uniforms which the girls take more seriously than the actual hockey. Once the hockey starts they start to play but its not really hockey just shooting the ball into the goal without any rules at all. Once the game finishes Witi's father has a talk with his son.
