After winning the Stanley Cup, I thought things in my life were pretty sweet. I met Maddison, a friend of my best friend, and we instantly clicked. She takes away the shadows I’ve been living in for so long, hiding behind my defenseman status. It’s an instant attraction, not just because she wears my jersey with no idea who I am, and it doesn’t take long for her to turn my world upside down. Even if she lives in Florida and I live in Seattle, I can’t seem to stay away... moreAfter winning the Stanley Cup, I thought things in my life were pretty sweet.

It’s an instant attraction, not just because she wears my jersey with no idea who I am, and it doesn’t take long for her to turn my world upside down. Even if she lives in Florida and I live in Seattle, I can’t seem to stay away. Then there’s my family life; the dreaded subject I never like to bring up. My father always wanted me to join him in the family business, following in his footsteps, but I had other ideas. All I ever wanted was a father who I could count on, someone who was proud of me for what I’ve achieved in the NHL. But he thinks hitting a puck around is a joke, that no matter how hard I play, it’ll never be enough in his eyes. When tragedy strikes, all the secrets of my family come to the surface. Every dirty detail. I want Maddison by my side, but the more I seem to want her, the more I’m afraid she’ll disappear. And maybe it’s for the best? Because when all hell breaks loose, I have to ask myself; does love really take the ice? Or does it leave you haunted for good? less
