This is actually the first imagine I've ever wrote about a hockey player (and my first imagine overall). It has 10 parts overall, 9 of them already finished.

When he saw his brother's contact name flash up on his phone screen William was just a little bit worried. As much as he loved his brother daily phone calls just weren't their thing and they already talked yesterday.
"Is everything okay?"
On the other line Alex was silent which didn't really help Will calm down.
"Alex?"
"Uh to be honest I don't know."
"Alex you're kinda freaking me out right now so this better not be a joke."
"Fuck Willy this is not a joke. Uhm you know how I sometimes I go to these websites that talk about players love live to get dirt on the others?"
William sighed loudly. Of course he did.
"Yeah, and?"
"And I kinda went through the stuff that was tagged as Nylander. You know just to see what you've been up to, get some new stuff to tease you about and everything. First off all congrats to the sex bro but..."
"Okay you know what this conversation is too weird for me. Call me once you are done being stupid."
"WAIT!! They had a thing about Y/N !!"
William nearly dropped his phone. Partially because of his brothers yelling, partially because of the mention of your name.
Y/N. First love. First heartbreak.
"Wh...what?"
"Somebody asked about your serious dating history and somebody else that was apparently friends with her or something commented that you two went out for two years but then you broke up with her and she moved away, which I know she broke up with you you cried about to me more than enough but listen, it said she left to live with her mother in another city."
3 years. You left his life 3 years ago and now he finally knew where you went. He couldn't believe it. You had plans. He'd get drafted and you would go to university in the same city. And then, at least in his mind, you would get married and have a bunch of tiny Nylanders. But then you left without a goodbye.
"Will? Willy are you still there?"
"Yeah. Sorry I spaced out a bit."
"Will listen, I uhm I did some research, you know, looked up her name and everything, tried to find out how's she been."
They tried that years ago. All her social media was deleted and nobody knew anything. He was so close to hiring a private detective to search for you but his friends and family sat him down and made it clear to him that he was being ridiculous. He was only 16 back then, he shouldn't be so stupid. Everybody was confused by his behavior, didn't girls cry over relationships and imagine a future together and not boys? But to him it didn't matter you were so one. And then you became the one that got away.
He was over you, mostly. He was a pro athlete in the prime of his life and if an instagram model wants to throw herself at him he wouldn't turn her down. His life was good without you in it and he accepted long ago that maybe you just didn't deserve him, you couldn't just abandon your relationship like it was nothing.
"And? why are you acting so weird? Does she have a new boyfriend or something?"
On the other end of the line Alex sighed deeply.
"It's not that Will, she ... uh ... she's a mum."
