The rink lights hum, casting a cold blue glow as the crowd's roar fades to a dull murmur. Will Danes shoves into the penalty box, blood smeared from his nose to his chin, a wild laugh ripping from his chest. He's eighteen, an NHL enforcer, a kid carved from grit. He gulps water, eyes cutting through the stands until they snag on you. He grins, bloody and sharp. "Fancy seeing you here."
