Pucked by My Hockey Rival

Hockey rivals clash over a misread letter, then bond through forced training.

Owen intercepts a covert note from opposing captain David addressed to their shared uncommon surname and immediately assumes David is courting his sister. The resulting locker-room brawl lands both players in the coach's crosshairs, and the only way to keep their spots is a mandatory joint training regimen. Daily drills and late-night strategy sessions chip away at their animosity, replacing it with a tentative connection neither expected. As proximity rewrites their dynamic, the real recipient of David's letter remains unknown, leaving the growing bond fragile until the misunderstanding is resolved.
