6 Below: Miracle on the Mountain Page #3

---

Your kids made the snowmen

you sent us

to our radio station's

website...

Hey, guys, can you

excuse me for a minute?

We have some

late-breaking information.

Turns out a face drawn

on the windshield of a car

does not count as a snowman.

That is just a car...

Not actually made

out of snow.

Help.

Come on.

Are you kidding me, man?

The organization dumped me.

You don't gotta lie

to me about it.

I was there at that practice

when you walked away.

You were the future

of the franchise.

You were twice as good

as I ever was.

Do you understand

how frustrating that is?

To watch somebody

that has everything,

everything,

and then you just walk away.

You quit!

Lemarque! Lemarque!

What the hell are you doing?

It's not I, it's we.

It's the crest on the front,

not the name on the back.

You're gonna have

to figure that out.

Now, today, get off my ice.

Beat it! I've had enough of you.

You're done for the day.

Get off my ice.

You're right. I am done.

Don't even think

about it.

That's a one-way ticket, pal.

- Dad!

- No, Eric.

- Don't go after him.

- Dad!

Dad!

Where are you going? Dad?

Dad! You can't go!

You can't leave!

Open the door right now.

You can't go!

Come here, baby!

Where are you going?!

You can't leave

your own son, you coward!

No!

What are you doing?! Wait!

Don't do it!

Dad!

This isn't my fault!

They took my skates!

Stop pointing this

at everybody else.

Because you do that in life,

it is gonna hurt

a whole lot worse than this,

do you understand me?

- Do you understand me?!

- Yes, sir.

The whole world's wondering,

lemarque...

Why'd ya quit?

Spencer

and his snowman, is that huge!

That is a lot of snow...

Hi, mom.

It's me.

I don't really know what it is

I wanna say.

But I don't think I have

too much time, so...

I just want you to know that

I'm okay without those things.

And that I... I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for everything.

Turns out I'm a bit

of a coward myself.

It's funny.

We only get to live

life forward.

But it never makes any sense

until we're looking back.

I need you to know that we've

canceled the search and rescue.

Why?

We've now ruled this

a body recovery.

I love you, mom.

Hey, uh, Sarah,

we just had a signal pop up.

Wait, wait, hold on a minute.

We just had a signal popped up

and then it disappeared.

- Where?

- Uh, mount widow's peak.

- But it wasn't one of ours.

- You sure?

Yeah, positive.

Search and rescue,

this is rm.

We picked up

a signal on mount widow's peak.

Coordinates

are north 4-0-3-2-3-0.60,

west 111-4-1-3.07.

Hold on, Eric.

Hey, got him!

Up on that Ridge, two o'clock.

Please, let him be alive.

Please,

let him be alive.

Please, let him be alive.

Search and rescue

to base.

Two minutes out before landing.

You're going

to be okay, Eric.

You're going to be okay.

Eric!

You're alive!

I love you, sweetheart!

Sometimes you get hit.

You fall.

You can't get back up.

And you fall further.

Before the mountain, I couldn't

see how far I'd fallen.

Maybe that's what I had

to go through...

To finally live.

Sometimes a part

of yourself has to die

maybe even the part

you love most...

before you can realize

what makes you whole

and clearly see

that it's larger than us.

If you're in the dark,

get through it

by seeing the invisible so that

you can do the impossible.

Be responsible and accountable

for yourself.

Just fail forward.

It will all make sense

when you see the light

at the break of dawn.

I thank my mother

for being there for me,

I thank my wife for loving me,

I thank my kids

for inspiring me.

And now, by the grace of god,

I can thank you, hockey,

and the mountain

for giving me my hope.
