Calgaryflames Stories

You're a lifestyle journalist assigned to the parenting and maternity beat-usually reporting on postpartum health or new-mom survival hacks. But this month, your editor has a new pitch: Fatherhood in Focus-a special feature on high-profile single dads navigating the impossible. Your first subject? Jacob Markström, veteran NHL goalie for the New Jersey Devils, who unexpectedly became a solo parent overnight. It's been a quiet storm behind the scenes. His wife left nearly a year ago without warning, just weeks after giving birth to their second son. Since then, Markström's been parenting Clark, a rambunctious two-year-old with the sass of a teenager, and Elias, an 11-month-old who still wakes up crying every night, alone. You don't expect Jacob to agree to an interview. He's infamously private-his press presence has been limited to post-game clichés and muttered goalie speak. But when your email is returned with: "One hour. Don't push." -you find yourself driving to a quiet neighborhood in Hoboken, recorder in hand, heart bracing. What you find isn't what you expected. Jacob is guarded. Gruff. Tired in the way only single parents are. But beneath the stubble and tension is a man trying desperately to be everything for two small boys. A man who cuts apples into shapes for Clark's lunchbox. A man who holds Elias against his chest during naps, arms wrapped protectively around the only thing he has left. You come looking for a story. But you stay for something else-something softer than you thought Jacob Markström was capable of. Because maybe, just maybe, behind every grumpy goalie is a man hoping someone might choose to stay. *Updates every saturday :) *

Three years after her dreams and her heart were shattered, Kasey still has a habit of pushing people away. But while visiting her sister in Chicago, she meets a boy who helps her learn to open up and let him into her heart.

A five day camping trip for exes Ava and Johnny is bound to be everything they don't want but exactly what they need.

My entire life revolved around sports; especially hockey. That night, I should've been studying. Plus, my best friend agreed to come, so there was no getting out of this one. "Number 3, Dean Westfall!" Ellie looked over at me as he skated on the ice; my face flushed red. "Someone has a little crush." And that was exactly what I was afraid of. It was then, that I knew I should've stayed in to study.

I'm going to put my Spotify on shuffle and write a short hockey story based on the song. Some of these will be extremely short, some will be longer depending. I struggle sometimes coming up with story lines so I thought this would be a fun way to get the creative juices flowing. The song titles, artist, and player will be the chapter name and there will be a quote from the song at the bottom. :) hope you enjoy them. Comment a song you think I should try if you want.
