Emma just wants her old life back Is it really to much to ask? She wants to be able to play hockey, to be in love To not have a care in the world

Kelsey Rogers lives and breathes ice hockey. She grew up with a father and brother who both played, and from them she gained a fierce passion for the sport. When her father’s company relocates him, Kelsey must leave her team behind, only to find out that there is no girls’ team where she now lives. Instead of giving up on the sport she loves, Kelsey fights her way onto the local boys’ travel team. However, the difficulty doesn’t stop there. Kelsey has to deal with boys telling her she plays a boys’ sport and that she isn’t as good because of being a girl. Kelsey isn’t one to back down from a challenge, so instead of quitting, she vows to prove that a girl can play ice hockey. Enter Dane Young. He’s the captain of Kelsey’s new team, and one of the major reasons she made it. Despite that, though, Dane is probably harder on her than the team’s coach. To Kelsey, it’s as if he wants to see her fail. Kelsey is determined not to let that happen.

Mati Ross is a 22 year old song writer who knows nothing about hockey. Somehow, she ends up with an internship with the Chicago Blackhawks, where she meets Captain Serious himself. Not impressed, Mati could care less who he is. But Jon has other plans....get the girl.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you", I hear Shawzy say as I'm about to turn the corner. I stop before I walk into the conversation. "And why is that?" It's Captain Serious, Jonathan Toews. "You've never actually met her, have you?" Shawzy questions. "No". "She's Q's daughter. Every one knows not to look at her in that way". "Challenge accepted", Toews answers. ~~~~~~~~~~ CJ Quenneville, daughter of the Coach himself. Coach Q, of the Chicago Blackhawks. She recently got a job as head trainer for the team. Just out of her sports medicine major at University of North Dakota, right where Toews was selected from in the draft in 2008 onto the Hawks, she finds herself following his path once again. CJ's life gets a little more complicated when she starts work with the team and with her father, who has one rule for all three daughters when he's a head coach. No dating the players. But, when CJ meets Jonathan, he notices something different about her that he's never seen before in a girl, especially not his ex-girlfriend, Lindsey. She has secrets that no one would ever think of knowing. But, Jonathan intends to find them out. ~~~~~~~~~~ Caution: Talks of rape, alcoholism, and suicide.
