"I'm just saying... brunette's give better head than blondes." Matt argues with Bucky as we're sat waiting for coach. Coach called us all here early due to some big announcement he has but he's late and Chad Jenson is usually a stickler for time and rules.
"That's bull, Blondes have more... passion? All I'm saying is that the brunettes I've gotten head from have lacked enthusiasm." Bucky says slowly glaring at Matt.
"Nah you're so wrong Buck-"
"Can it Hunter, we all know you're disagreeing with me because of the recent road head." He says and everyone laughs and starts dragging Hunter.
"How many times do I have to explain to you that it was a misunderstanding." Hunter sighs dragging his hand through his hair and flipping Matt off.
"You boys haven't had enough head to make that decision anyway." I snigger at Matt and Bucky.
"Just because the rest of us aren't constantly waving our dic-"

"Great you're all here. And you've already made a bad impression before we've even started." Coach Jenson's voice has even more edge than usual as he stalks towards us.
"What the hell are you talking about Coach?" Hunter Davenport, our captain calls to him.
"Who's she?" Jesse Wilkes asks and all our attention is drawn to the girl trailing behind him. She's got platinum blonde almost grey hair falling half way down her back in waves, big grey eyes, thick eyelashes, rosy lips, around 5'6 slim but curves in the right places. I check her out shamelessly and to my surprise the girl scowls at me. It's not the usual blush or appreciative look I get back. I'm well aware of the power I have over women but this new chick's apparently oblivious.
"This is the new Foster." He says with no explanation.
"But Coach... she's a girl." Matt says dumbfounded.
"Well you're not quite as stupid as I pegged you, glad that didn't slip past you." Coach says dryly. The girls snorts and leans back against the wall giving us all a dismissive glance.

"Seriously Coach what's going on?" Hunter asks. As captain. I'm surprised he doesn't know about this. I'm usually consulted into the decisions regarding the team.
Coach sighs, "There isn't enough time to recruit a new player so I took the only valuable player on the girls team. She'll be filling in. Not only does this help us with a quick replacement but it helps us avoid scrutiny around the funding crisis."

"Funding crisis?" I ask crossing my arms. A move that I know girls notice.
"Some people have been claiming that Briar U is sexist due to more funding in our hockey team than theirs." Hunter explains.
"Which is ridiculous, our team has more funding because we have potential and uh.. the girls are..." Wilkes trails off looking uncertain towards the blonde who sighs and pushes herself of the wall.
"Shit." She says bluntly, "the girls team are shit so we got less funding. There's nothing sexist about it it's just circumstance. I know great female hockey players who outplay lads any day, but Briar U's girls team are terrible." I think my dick actually hardened from her voice. This girls not only an insanely hot female hockey player, but an insanely hot English female hockey player.

"But Coach what if we-"
Coach Jenson snorts as if reading Matts mind, well all of our minds when he replies, "Trust me you won't hurt her. I've watched this kid play and she plays dirtier than most of you." He turns away from us and to her, "but this team, we take things seriously. We follow the rules, aim to win." He raises his eyebrows at her, "Understood?"
I've seen older men look away from Chad Jenson, even seen some of then shake when he's in full hard ass mode but this girl looks bored.
"Yep. Got it." She says with a slight smirk, "I won't hurt your boys, Chad."
"Coach." He corrects her but his eyes have a glint of amusement in them. Then he turns back to us, "Boys, Carter Miller, Carter meet the boys." He says by way of introduction.
The rest of the meeting goes by quickly, but everyone's completely distracted by the blonde bombshell who's now apparently our team mate. I'm all for female empowerment and girls can do anything... but despite having obvious muscle she's petite and hockey players aren't exactly soft and small so I can't see it working out too well.
