    Summary

    Shane Hollander has known about Greg's son in Russia for as long as he can remember. Greg has been his stepfather since Shane was five — the man who drove him to practice, taught him to tape his stick, showed up to every game. The son in Russia was just a name. A birthday card sent every October. Background information.

    He did not think it through far enough.

    Now Ilya Rozanov — rival, problem, the one player Shane cannot figure out on film or on ice — is standing in the driveway of the only home Shane has ever known, holding an MVP trophy like a set of keys, about to sleep down the hall.

    Same roof. Same rink. Same city in Minnesota that is about to get a lot smaller.

    Shane is very good at math. He just can't figure out what he's solving for.
