Full Body Check

Hockey isn’t just a sport, a game, a career. To me, hockey is life. When I’m on the ice, nothing else matters — I’m in my zone — always ten plays ahead of the opponent, and always in control.Except for that night.That game. The first one she’d ever been to — Gracelyn Bolton.And I found her.Even while slammed against the wall, tangled up with the enemy’s ace goon — known only for his fighting, not his stats — I spotted her, only her, amongst a crowd of hundreds.And when I finally track her down, the list of reasons why things won’t work is long… throwing me completely off my game.
