Summary:

After being drafted first overall, Shane’s rookie year was shaping up to be everything he ever wanted.

In his first game in Boston, he noticed a man sitting in the stands at glass-level, right beside the visiting team’s bench. Dusty blond curls, a cocky smirk, and a wink that made something flip in his stomach.

“You are one of the kids I coach, yes?" the man called out. "The peewee team is down the street, this is the big league.”

Shane shot the man a glare and skated to centre ice for the face off. He wouldn't let some Raiders fan distract him.

// When Ilya abandons hockey as a teenager, Shane is the undisputed star of his draft year. Somehow, they find each other anyway.
