   Summary

   Shane finds his first love in the form of his coach's son when he is 15 years old. Their love is young and naive. Shane never thought he would be outed, but after poor attempts at concealing their "relationship" Shane is faced with a reality he never even fathomed.

   Not one to let his NHL dreams go to waste, Shane strives to be the first openly gay NHL player, even if it kills him.
