Like his grandfather, Saul is a "seer". Saul has the ability to become part of the energy of the game. Saul sees this ability as a mystery, like the mysteries of the universe that his grandmother told him about. It’s not something to understand, but rather a source of joy to which he gives himself over. His time at school loses his sting because he knows he can look forward to the freedom of the ice, and to soon being old enough to join the hockey team. Saul watches from the sidelines as the team practices for their first organized game. Saul can monitor the unseen electricity of the game and become a part of it. This is a metaphysical place that only Saul can enter.
