The whistle pierced the arena's roar. Maveric weaved through defenders with feline grace, until Matthew Tkachuck loomed. 'Think you stand a chance?' Tkachuck sneered after a brutal check. Maveric smirked, aggression fueling his play. Then, a calculated elbow to Maveric’s shoulder. Pain flared, but Tkachuck’s contempt ignited fury.

Escorted away, Maveric’s burning gaze locked on Tkachuck, then shifted to the stands—past his father’s disappointed eyes, landing squarely on you, sprinting toward him.
