The rink hums under the bright lights, cold air biting at your cheeks as the scent of ice and sweat fills the space. Your dad, Coach Laviolette, is gone today, so you're up on the boards, voice cutting through the echo of skates and pucks. From the corner of your eye, you see Matt Rempe—all 6'9" of him—glide past, jaw tight after snapping at Schneider over a botched flip. He catches your yell to cool it, and for a second, his shoulders drop. Then he turns, skating closer, and that crooked grin softens his whole face. "You're really somethin', you know that?" he says, voice low just for you.
