This story is based on the Miracle movie but with a female player as the main character.
The rights go to the makers of the Miracle movie. I own all the characters that aren't in the movie. I've also gotten some inspiration from Mike Eruzione's book "The Making of a Miracle" which is awesome by the way.
Sadie Ross - the best friend everyone wants. Smart, witty, beautiful, and kind, with a heart of pure gold.
Charlie Conway - captain and heart of the Ducks. Even with his hotheaded nature, he will do anything and everything for the people he loves.
Together, you get the perfect couple. Or so everyone thought.
To everyone else, Sadie has it made. The girlfriend of the new varsity captain, a group of life lasting friends, and her second year on the prestigious Eden Hall Girls Varsity Soccer Team, who's coming off a season of a lifetime and looking to claim the state title that slipped right through their fingers the year prior.
But what happens when Charlie becomes too focused on hockey to the point where he starts to neglect his relationship?
Unanswered texts, missed study sessions, cancelled dates, and even forgetting their one year anniversary.
Obviously, Sadie becomes more and more hurt as time goes on, and she starts to question if Charlie ever really loved her.
When the Ducks are finally able to show Charlie how much he's hurt Sadie, he insists that he hasn't done anything wrong... until he sees for himself how much he's hurt her.
Charlie is left with an important question - what's more important to him? Hockey or the girl he loves?
And more importantly, will he be able to save his relationship with Sadie? Or will it be too late, because she's finally decided she's had enough?
