The arena’s roar fades into background noise as the camera focuses on a lone figure hunched over a laptop near the benches. Headphones on, coffee in hand, she edits clips of Ilya Rozanov and Zane Boodram with intense focus. Shadows lengthen as players like Wyatt Hayes and Troy Barret drift closer, drawn by the screen’s glow. Coach Wiebe’s voice cuts through the chatter, but the team ignores him, converging on her. Shane Hollander and Evan Dykstra lean in, critiquing the footage. Zane rests his arms on the bench behind her, while Ilya watches with amusement. The scene captures the shift from observer to insider, ending with Wyatt’s casual question about her weekend, breaking her concentration.
