NHL Hockey Imagines

Love At First Sight X Haydn Fleury

You and your friend, (your friend's name) are huge hockey fans and decided to make the trip across the country to Red Deer, Alberta to watch the MasterCard Memorial Cup. You had heard that the host city's team, the Red Deer Rebels were the favorite in the tournament. You guys decided that you would fly in a day early to allow yourselves time to settle in. Upon arrive you decided to check in at your hotel and tried to decide on something to do. After realizing that there wasn't much to do, you decided to find a nice bar to hang out at to waste a couple of hours at. You had a shower, put your makeup on and got dressed to leave. You and your friend looked at each other and smiled. You both looked amazing.

You both made your way to the bar. When you finally got there you both walked in and sat down at a table off to the side of the bar. Shortly after you sat down, a group of guys walked in, all dressed quite nicely. You had a feeling that you had seen them before. You asked (your friend's name) if she recognized them. She replied by saying that she had never seen them before. You took a good look at the group of guys again when you finally realized that it was Haydn Fleury and some of his Red Deer teammates. You tried asking yourself why they would be here. (Your friend's name) had noticed them staring at you and had let you know. You looked over to notice Haydn looking at you and smiling. His teammates nudging him and laughing. He began to turn a little red as if he was a little embarrassed. All of sudden, Haydn and his teammates began to walk towards you. Wondering what they were going to do, you tried to stay calm.

When Haydn and his teammates finally reached your table, they asked if they could sit with you guys. You and your friend couldn't come up with any reason to say no so you both agreed that you guys would let them sit with you. Haydn sat down right next to you and smiled, introduced himself and asked what your name was. He said that this was the first time he'd seen you around and asked if you were in town for the Memorial Cup. You politely introduced yourself and said that you and your friend were huge hockey fans and that you had travelled across Canada to watch the Memorial Cup. The two of you talked for several hours before he finally apologized and said that he had to get some rest before his game the next day. Before he left, the two of you exchanged phone numbers, then he gave you a big hug.

The next morning when you woke up, you couldn't stop thinking about Haydn. You began to get ready for the game when your phone began to vibrate. It was a message from Haydn, the message said that he had had an amazing night with you and that he hoped that if it wasn't too formal and you weren't busy that you two could meet up after the game. You asked him what he had in mind. A minute later he responded by asking what your seat numbers were. He said that he would have your tickets upgraded. You responded by telling him your seat number followed by a ton of emojis. You and your friend finished getting ready and headed to the arena.

You and (your friend's name) arrived at the arena. You both tried to push your way through the crowd of people trying to get in so that you could reach the ticket booth. When you got there the women said that there weren't any more tickets available. You handed her your tickets and said that Haydn Fleury told you to show her them. She apologized and handed you your VIP lanyards and a note that was left for you. You opened the note, it said "I hope they didn't give you too much trouble to get these, I can't wait to see you after the game."

You and (your friend's name) went to your seats and waited for the teams to come out for warm up. You see Haydn standing in the tunnel. They call him name and he darts onto the ice. All the players began to lineup on the blue line and Haydn looked through the stands for you when he finally catches your eyes, he couldn't help but smile.

The game went by very quickly and before you knew it the game was tied 3-3 and there was a minute left in the third period of the game. The suspense in the arena began to build. The other team was crashing the net when suddenly, Haydn stripped the center of the puck and begins to rush towards the opponent's net. He began to deke around the opponent's players left, right and center. He reaches the net with less than 10 seconds left. You are now on the edge of your seat. You were really rooting for him to score. He finally snaps his shot in the dying seconds of the game. He scores as the buzzer sounds and the crowd goes wild as the jump to their feet. You could not be more proud and excited for Haydn.

As you and (your friend's name) were preparing to leave. You were approached by a security guard. He said "Miss (your name), I have been asked by Mr. Fleury to escort you to the dressing room." Your face lit up, you were completely shocked. You couldn't believe he had time to do all of this or that he would do this for a girl he had just met. You asked your friend if she wanted to come with you. She responded by saying she was tired and wanted to go back to the hotel, so you said your goodbyes to your friend and followed the security guard.

When you finally got to the dressing room, there was a bunch of what you assumed were the player's girlfriends waiting for their guys. You stood there waiting for Haydn, feeling slightly uncomfortable. You weren't a girlfriend or a family member and the others could definitely tell. One girl, who looked about your age approached you and introduced herself. "Hi, I'm Ashley, I'm Connor Bleackley's girlfriend and you are?"

"Nice to meet you Ashley, I'm (your name) and Haydn invited me down," you responded.

"Oh you're (your name), it's nice to meet you. I overheard Haydn talking with Connor this morning about you. He is completely smitten by you. I would have thought he would have asked you out by now."

"Oh really," you said a little embarrassed, "we only met last night, so I wouldn't worry too much about him not asking me out yet." She laughed and nodded in agreement.

All of a sudden, Connor and Haydn both walked out of the dressing room. Connor went over to Ashley gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Haydn came over and did the same to you. "I see you two have already met." Haydn said in surprise.

"Yeah, (your name) looked a little uncomfortable so I figured I would make her feel a little more comfortable," Ashley exclaimed.

Haydn's hand didn't leave your hip the entire time. Not that you were complaining. For some reason he made you feel like the safest girl in the world. He looked at you and asked what you thought of the game. You told him that he played amazing and that it was nice to see them win. He thanked you as he gave you another kiss on the cheek. You looked up at him and smiled. He smiled back at you and asked if you would like to go on a date with him. You replied with "yes but as long as Ashley and Connor can make it a double date." You all laughed and went out for a wonderful night together. I guess you can call it love at first sight.
