The Hughes and Rothschild families have been inseparable for as long as they can remember, their lives intertwined both on and off the ice. That closeness creating an unbreakable bond between the youngest of each family, Luke and Sophia, who grew up side by side. But as life moves forward and pressures begin to mount. Everything starts to shift, especially when a different kind of connection begins to form between Sophia and the oldest Hughes brother, Quinn. And suddenly, nothing feels as simple as it once did.

Quinn Hughes isn't ready to be back. Not really. Not after losing the love of his life in the cruel quiet of the offseason. But the league won't wait for grief, and neither will the fans. So he laces up his skates, paints on a smile, and pretends that scoring goals feels the same as it used to. You're the new PR intern with the Vancouver Canucks-green as hell and thrown straight into the deep end. Your job? Clean up the image of the team's grieving star. Keep his interviews short, his smile longer, and the media from digging into the tear-stained corners of his life. But Quinn doesn't need a brand refresh. He needs something real. Something like 2AM Lego castle sessions on his living room floor. Quiet grocery runs. A hand on his shoulder when the world feels too loud. You weren't supposed to be the one he leaned on. But grief doesn't care about job titles. And neither, it seems, does love.

After getting her heart broken by her brother Trevor's roommate, Jamie Drysdale, Ella Zegras moves into a Michigan lake house for the summer with her brother's best friend, Jack Hughes, hoping for a fresh start. What she doesn't expect is to fall-quietly, completely, and inconveniently-for Jack's younger brother, Luke. What begins as late-night talks on the dock and stolen glances across crowded kitchens turns into something real. But when the summer ends and real life returns-hockey schedules, career decisions, and the distance that always comes with growing up-Ella and Luke have to decide: Was it just a summer fling, or is it the beginning of something more?

You and Will Smith grew up side by side in your small Massachusetts town-best friends who became everything to each other. But when he left for the big leagues and you stayed behind, life took you both in wildly different directions. Years later, grief pulls you back to the surface when your dad dies, and the last person you expect to call is Will. But he shows up. And suddenly you're back to sharing silence, laughter, pain, and the old promise that maybe you'd find your way back to each other someday. It's messy. It's honest. It's holding onto the people who know you when you don't know yourself.

nhl imagines for you guys!!

The fourth overall pick in the NHL draft, he's a hockey god with a reputation as big as his talent. Their first meeting is lighthearted, filled with teasing and unexpected common ground.

paige bedard learned early that loving something meant sacrificing for it. the early mornings, missed birthdays, and the quiet pressure of carrying a last name hockey already knew. but, there was always one place she didn't have to be paige bedard: connor bedard's little sister, captain of the wisconsin badgers, alternate captain for Team Canada, and star forward of the vancouver goldeneyes. it was the place she could just be paige and that place was wherever macklin celebrini was. they met at thirteen, two north vancouver kids with dreams too big for their bodies. he stayed on the ice after everyone left. she stayed with him. driveways became rinks, summer nights became promises, and somewhere between shared playlists, lake days, and silent understanding, paige fell in love with him. she just never told him. he was macklin, her best friend. her almost. because almost was safer than losing him completely. then, came the leaving- he went to boston to chase the NHL. she went to wisconsin, where she became captain and one of the most dominant players in college hockey before returning home as the face of the goldeneyes. phone calls became texts and texts became nothing. years passed, but feelings didn't. now, at nineteen, paige stands at center ice in milan with a silver medal around her neck and an "A" over her heart. a loss she can't escape. hockey, for the first time, doesn't feel like enough. until she sees him... across a city thousands of miles from where they began, macklin stands there and suddenly she's thirteen again. macklin was never just her first love, he was her unfinished one and some people, no matter how far you skate or how much time passes... you always find your way back to them.
