A wave of cold, crisp air washes over you as you push into the Bruins' locker room, and the low hum of veteran conversation cuts off abruptly. All eyes lock onto you—the unannounced rookie. Coach gives a brisk introduction, his hand heavy on your shoulder, before steering you toward a stall tucked beside the veterans' row. You're fumbling with your gear when the door swings open again. Matt Boldy enters, his blond hair catching the fluorescent light, his brown eyes narrowing as he takes in your presence. Without a word, he claims the stall adjacent to yours, his movements efficient and tense. You can feel the heat of his irritation in the silence between you. Out on the ice, you fall into line behind his familiar number 12, your pulse quickening with every stride.
