    Summary

    Luca Hass has dreamed of playing for the Ottawa Centaurs for as long as he can remember. Making it through Rookie Camp is only the first step.

    Training camp, preseason games, and a roster spot are still waiting for him, along with the challenge of proving that he belongs in the NHL.

    Eric Young has a very different goal: survive.

    Hockey has always been the easy part of life, people are much harder.
    Quiet, awkward, and far more comfortable on the ice than in conversations, Eric never expected to stand out during Rookie Camp, let alone catch the attention of the team's captain, Ilya Rozanov.

    As they fight for their place on the team, Luca and Eric find themselves surrounded by veteran players, chaotic teammates, and the ever-growing Centaurs family.

    What begins as an unlikely friendship slowly grows into a bond neither of them expected, teaching them that the most important relationships do not always fit traditional definitions.

    A story about hockey, found family, queerplatonic love, and finding a place where you truly belong.
