I like it! Have you read the Bean Trees? After that book, I had a whole different feeling for the word "turtle." And it lends color to this play!

It's an old hockey term. "Turtling", in hockey, basically means covering up during a fight while the other player is pounding you on the helmet. It's kinda frowned on in hockey as not being very macho, even though it means that the other player might get an extra penalty if you don't fight back.
