Tyko Lindstrand is your average amateur league hockey player from Michigan who's got a full ride to a top university in California and a chance to play for their college team. With a lot of talent packed into a 6'0 body, it's not hard to see why. Things change drastically when he gets a call from a representative of the Red Wings Organization. Months ago he signed up to be an honorary Red Wing for a day - skating in practice with the boys, going behind the scenes, plus incredible seats at that nights game - and out of the many entrants, his name was pulled. In his experience with the Red Wings, the dream of so many young hockey players becomes so much more when the opportunity of a lifetime presents itself. Tyko must choose between the commitment he made to the university in California or having the opportunity to be a temporary - and possibly permanent - addition to the Red Wings roster.

The Boston Experiment by itmegritty1
14 parts Complete
There's a lab below TD Garden, a sports arena in Boston, Massachusetts. The owners of the arena know about it, but it is secret to the public. Why is this lab there? For genetic engineering, of course. In this lab, babies are made specifically to be NHL goaltenders. It is not a choice. No one can refuse. Once-famous hockey player Bobby Orr, the head of goalie-making (a science he has been doing since 1982), is the one who runs this inhumane practice. He believes that the NHL's goaltenders have become too awful, and the league is going from professional to pee-wee. It needs more goalies. It always needs more goalies. ******************** Tuukka Rask, also known as G0340, is "born" in Boston on March 10, 1987. Of course, the public must not know this, so Tuukka's place of birth is listed as Savonlinna. This city is in "Finland," another lie that the public blindly believes. Bobby Orr pays a lot of attention to Tuukka, especially because he made a few mistakes making the genotype that could cause problems. However, by 18, the goalie is ready to play in the NHL, completely unaware that his childhood was spent in a lab thanks to implanted false memories. He is sent to the Toronto Maple Leafs in order to be tested, then traded back to the Boston Bruins so his career can officially begin. One day in 2017, Tuukka's 11-year-old daughter, Sinikka, stumbles across a door that her mother told her about. The door is unlocked. A scanner glued to the front panel is broken. Sinikka opens the door and discovers that her mother was telling the truth and that her father's whole childhood was a lie. She immediately tells Tuukka about her astounding discovery. What will Tuukka do? ~COMPLETED!~ Word count: about 16k NOTE: I got this idea from a comment on a Reddit thread about the best goaltenders in the NHL. Also, the Finland not existing thing is satire, LOL.
