Summary
Shane had spent time—a lot of time, really—thinking about retirement. It came with the territory; on average, hockey players retired in their 30s, with a few outliers playing into their 40s. The really good ones got maybe three decades out of it all before putting the stick down and hanging the jersey up. In his mind, Shane liked to think he’d be one of them, playing till he hit forty-five, ending on some high note—the Centaurs winning their nth or so Cup, maybe—before fading, slowly, into the background.
It turned out it would all just end in a random game, with a random team, boom— all so definitively over that Shane was left falling, completely flailing, clueless about any next step.

Summary
A crime, an article, a reckoning.
Shane just stared at the phone, his jaw tightening, but said nothing. Let the hum of conversation wash over him. A sick dip of anxiety into his stomach.
---
Nothing good happened on a Friday.Someone tried to rob Ilya Rozanov’s house. Shane Hollander didn’t know the man in the kitchen, but he knew how to keep moving. How to take a blow.
By the time he hit the ice, the story was already out. Hockey, fear, loyalty, and the things you didn’t say all collided at full speed.
