Matt Vicarter is back, and he's dealing with more stuff than ever before. Going behind his parents back, Matt enters his freshman year at the University of Ottawa and he becomes the new meat in the famous NHL team, The Ottawa Senators who have no idea that he's a student. Suddenly, everything to Matt has changed, in the biggest way possible... lying to his family, and new friends and as the hockey season starts he finds himself surrounded by people who only want to know him for his fame. He finds paparazzi hiding behind his bushes outside his apartment and harassing him as he tries  to live his life.Matt struggles with the idea of living on his own, and juggling school with hockey.... again. On top of that his musical roommate who seems like a younger and better looking version of Gandhi, has a twin sister... who reminds Matt so much of the one girl that he can't get out of his mind. Lastly, his mother makes an announcement that will change the Vicarter family forever.
Matt thinks that he left the game behind, he thinks that he got through it, but really he's just entered a whole new game and he's going to have to learn how to play  it.

*DISCLAIMER [I am not in the NHL, I do not know how regular practices work and the details behind the games! I am simply going from logic! Please keep this in mind, and if you have any comments or suggestions on how I can improve this situation, please PRIVATE MESSAGE ME versus posting a comment on the chapter!]
