Isabella's POV

"MEETINGS IN 10." Someone from the locker room shouts so we stop playing keepy ups, I grab my ball, then all of us head to the locker room here in MSG.

When we get to the locker room I put my football up then Waffles and I follow Ezra to the Defensive meeting room for our meeting on what to do against our opponent tonight, the Colorado Avalanche.

Tonight's game 5, but since the NHL abandoned Game 4 we're still up 3-0.

After our 20 minute meeting, we head back to the locker room to get ready then I grab the stuff I wear under my pads and jersey then Waffles and I head into the bathroom and head into one of the stalls.

Once in the stall I take off my shorts and boxers, put on my compression shorts that have a cup in them, and I put on my sports bra then I put on my black Army long sleeve shirt that I wear underneath my pads every game.

After I'm dressed in my underwear I gather my stuff and head back to my locker.

When I get to my locker, I put the stuff I changed out of in my locker then I put on my normal socks, my shinguards, and my hockey socks.

Once my legs are dressed, I secure my hockey socks to my compression shorts with the velcro tabs then I put on my pants and my skates.

After my lower body is dressed, I tape up my knees and ankles so that my shinguards don't move around then I put on my shoulder pads and my elbow pads.

Once I have my upper body pads on I put on my Blue jersey then I secure my jersey to my pants with the tie down strap.

After I secure my jersey, I put on my helmet, put on my gloves, and grab one of my sticks then I head outside to the hallway and wait for everyone to be finished getting dressed.

Once everyone is in the hallway, Waffles and I lead everyone to the ice.

When we get to the bench, Waffles hops up onto the bench and sits then I scratch her head.

"Good girl." I say with a smile making Waffles smile then I head out onto the ice and skate around our half of the ice.

As I skate around I see all of my teammates scratch Waffles' head before they step onto the ice which makes me smile.

Once everyone's on the ice I stop at the bench and do some stretches while talking with my doggy.

When our warmup time ends, Waffles and I head back to the locker room with my teammates.

Once in the locker room I sit down in my locker then I relax and listen to Coach Nash's last minute talk.

After Coach Nash finishes his talk, I put my dark brown curly hair up into a low bun then I put on my helmet, put in my black and gold mouthguard, and my gloves.

Once I'm ready to play, Waffles and I head out to the hallway and wait with my teammates for us to be introduced.

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN." The Stadium PA announcer dude says. "PLEASE WELCOME YOUR NEW YORK RANGERS."

After we are announced the crowd cheer then we head to the ice.

When we get to the bench, Waffles and I stop and stand off to the side then my teammates scratch Waffles' head and fist bump me before they head onto the ice.

Once my teammates are on the ice I join them skate around my half once then I head to the boards by our bench and scratch my dogs head.

After I scratch Waffles' head, I skate away from the boards, look up at the box where my friends and family are sitting, then I wave at them.

My friends and family wave back then I skate over to my spot on the blue line and stand while the anthem is sung.

When the anthem finishes I head to center ice and do the ceremonial puck drop.

After the puck drop, I skate back to Kendrick and Ezra and do our handshake then Kendrick and I skate to our spots for the face off while Ezra stays in his crease.

"They already look defeated." Kendrick says as we skate to our spots.

"Well we haven't lost at home all season." I say.

"Oh yeah." Kendrick says.

"So yeah." I say. "They're fucked."

- - - - -

"TOLD YOU THEY WERE FUCKED." I shout as I jump on Kendrick then I feel Ezra wrap his arms around us after the game ends.

I know it's Ezra because I can feel his blocker pad and glove.

"Well I didn't know they would suck that bad." Kendrick says.

We won 5-1.

I played fucking great.

"They were dust." One of the Canadian's on the team says as Kendrick, Ezra, and I are surrounded by our teammates.

I'm pretty sure dust means bad.

Hockey slang is weird.

"AWOOOOOOO." I hear my doggy loudly say so I hop off Kendrick and skate over the bench.

"We're Stanley Cup Champions Waffles" I say as I get to the bench then I grab my doggy and lift her over the boards then I skate with her in my arms over to the team.

"WAFFLES." A bunch of the dudes shout then they love on Waffles as we get handed hats and a shirt.

While everyone loves on Waffles, Auston Matthews is awarded finals MVP.

"You're up." Ezra says as he takes Waffles from me.

Once Ezra has Waffles I skate over to where the trophy is take a picture with it and the NHL Commissioner then I grab the trophy.

"Thanks." I say once I have the trophy then I kiss the trophy and lift it above my head. "YEAH."

After I shout I skate around the ice for a minute with the trophy over my head then I skate over to my teammates and hand the Stanley Cup over to Auston Matthews.

"Woof." Waffles says then I see her scrambling to get out of Ezra's arms.

"What's up?" I say as I look at where Waffles is looking then I see my fiancée.

I chuckle at my doggy's antics then I grab her from Ezra and skate over to the bench where my fiancée is standing with the other player wives and girlfriends.

"There's my champion." Blake says with a smile making me smile as I approach the bench.

"Hey Beautiful." I say then I see the twins being held by Amara.

When I get to the bench I set Waffles on the bench we sit on then I hug and kiss my fiancée.

"I can't wait for our staycation." I say as I look at my girl. "A week of just you, our kiddos, Waffles, and whatever the fuck we wanna eat."

"It's gonna be great Bella Boo." Blake says with a smile. "It's gonna be fucking great."
