Two young stars, one golden team, and a chemistry that can’t be ignored. Dina and Ellie’s rise in the National Women’s Hockey League is electric, but one devastating moment on the ice threatens to shatter everything.

☑ 1. BOSTON: The Draft 🖤

so much potential love love love
I thought this was from Ellie’s POV at the beginning and was so confused 😭 (even though I literally read the Dina-centric tag) idk what I was thinking ‐ I don’t think we’ll get her POV at all tho which kind of makes me sad
I also don’t know how to feel about Joel being an assistant coach and not like Ellie’s dad or something… and the fact that he already knows Dina ‐ we’ll see if it grows on me
not me reading the entire first chapter and still only being 1% through this fic 😭 she’s a chunker
