Kenny

Playing in front of scouts wasn’t anything new for Defiance Academy’s star center. His family advisor, Kyle, showed up at a lot of games.

But the person who never came? Kenny’s mom.

Yet, there she was. He thought he’d imagined it at first when his head crashed into the glass behind the net, and his eyes found her.

Wishful thinking, maybe.

But that would have required him to wish for it.

He tried to push her from his mind. They had a game to win. Defiance Academy was down two goals with three minutes left in the third. Killian tried to keep the team in the game, making save after save, but the defense hung him out to dry for each goal against.

He skated to the bench during the timeout, his face blazing red with anger. “What’s wrong with you idiots? Play some damn hockey.”

He wasn’t wrong. Nothing seemed to be going right for the team.

Coach gave them a minute to collect themselves. He wasn’t one for impassioned speeches. Kenny scanned his teammates’ faces. For many of the seniors, this would be their last season of hockey ever. Some would go on to play in college. A few might be lucky enough to hear their names called at the draft in June.

But the only ones who were said to be sure bets were Kenny and Killian.

But in the life of a potential NHL draft pick, every second on the ice counted.

Instead of following his wingers, Kenny skated to the goal. If this game could still be salvaged, one man had to be better than the rest.

“Do you have this, Killer?” He gripped the cage of Killian’s mask.

“Of course, man.”

“We can still win this.” He glanced back over his shoulder to where the ref yelled his name. “You and me. Forget about everyone else on this ice. It’s up to us. There are scouts here.”

“There are always scouts.”

Kenny grit his teeth. “Killian.” He never used his actual name in a game. “I know you still have another year after this one, but I don’t want to sit at the draft in June and look back at this season wondering if there was something more I could’ve done. You are I are the ones who are going to win this. Promise me you won’t let a single puck hit the back of this net for the next three minutes.”

Fire burned in the goalie’s eyes. “Let’s do this, Ken doll.”

Kenny patted the side of his helmet and skated to where the refs and forwards waited impatiently. As he passed Will, he pointed. The puck was going to him.

Winning the face-off, Kenny slid the puck to Will before taking off down the ice, opening himself up for the stretch pass. The puck hit the blade of his stick,
