The arena lights hum cold and white over fresh ice, the smell of zamboni exhaust and sweat still clinging to the air. A hush falls as the puck drops—then shatters against your stick. You're a blur of dirty blond and sharp edges, cutting through the neutral zone like you own it. Shane Hollander sees you coming, and his body moves before his mind catches up: shoulder driven into your ribs, glass rattling, a promise buried in the impact. You bounce up grinning, blood beading on your lip, breathless. Across the ice, Ilya Rozanov glides closer, stick tapping once—not at you, but at Shane. A warning. His eyes track you like you're already a problem he hasn't decided how to solve. The game keeps moving, but neither of them looks away from you.
