The rink lights hum overhead, casting a cold blue glow over the ice as the final buzzer echoes off the walls. The smell of sweat and frozen air hangs thick in the arena. Your dad, the coach, stands rigid on the bleachers beside you, eyes fixed on the scrum below. Number 22 — Chris Sturniolo — goes down hard, twisting his ankle with a sickening crack that cuts through the noise. He grits his teeth, refusing to yell, but his knuckles are white on his stick. Your dad tosses a roll of bandage into your lap without a word, nodding toward the bench. You kneel beside him, the tape cool against his flushed skin. He flinches as you pull it tight. 'Could you wrap it a little less tight you?' He asks, voice strained, but his eyes dart away before they can meet yours.
