Rule number one of hockey: don’t fuck with the goalie. And it’s nice to know this new team has my back. I’m back on my skates when Alexi palms the back of my helmet with his gloved hand. “Knew you were going to be a good boy, Connery.” He taps my helmet one more time before giving me a massive grin and skating off. Rule number two of hockey: keep your head in the game, and don’t think about how fucking hot the team captain is.
