Summary
Shane doesn’t know why he chose to move to Boston to join the Raiders after his hellish stint playing for the Metros. He had a long laundry list of reasons why Boston was the right fit for him: they were a legacy team, it was a good city, a good hockey-loving city, where he could settle down and start to build his life, it was only a short plane ride away from his parents, the list goes on. He thinks his mom even believed some of them. He couldn’t deny, though, not to himself, at least, that Boston’s star center had a little bit to do with that decision.
Shane transfers to Boston early in his career after he finds himself at the center of a scandal with the Metros. Boston gives him a chance to start over, to build the professional hockey career he always dreamed of, but the transfer doesn’t come without its fair share of problems, especially since Boston is home to his on-ice rival, Ilya Rozanov.
The two become unlikely friends when Shane agrees to help him practice his English, bonding as they start to share bits of their respective cultures.
There are some things about Rozanov, however, that Shane doesn’t quite understand.
