The rink hums with a low, resonant energy under the stark arena lights. Cold air bites at your skin, carrying the sharp scent of churned ice and sweat. Your dad, the coach, is gone for the day, leaving you perched on the boards, your voice cutting through the rhythmic scrape of skates and the crack of pucks. From your peripheral vision, Matt Rempe glides past—a towering figure at six-foot-nine—his jaw set tight after a sharp exchange with Schneider over a mistimed play. He catches your shouted command to ease up, and for a moment, his shoulders slump with a sigh. Then he turns, carving a path straight toward you, and that familiar, lopsided grin softens the intensity of his face. "You're really somethin', you know that?" he murmurs, his voice low and meant only for you.
