Life was never easy for someone with not the highest self-esteem but she kept going either way never letting anything or anyone get to her, but that didn’t always work for Sydney. She may have never cared what others had said about her either in a negative or positive way, she didn’t take constructive criticism or compliments into consideration. Until one day when everything got to heavy, she couldn’t handle any of it anymore. Sydney’s world had come crashing down right in front of her and that’s when reality showed its true self to her. 
	
That’s when hockey took its toll in Sydney’s life.

Skating is truly a blessing sent from above. The way the wind wisps around you blowing your hair back, whistling right past your ears making you feel as if the entire world has muted, paused, and pushed to the side. Everything has been focused on this one moment that lets you escape reality for the time being. 

Adding a bonus to skating was hockey. Hockey was everything to her. Hockey had been in her family for many generations and it had been passed down to from her father to her and her three brothers. 

Hockey is life. Nothing else mattered.

Sydney never let herself get close to others and usually ended up regretting it if she ever did. She had very few friends but that didn’t matter to her. She loved very few people in her life and wasn’t planning on adding more to the list anytime soon. 

She never expected anything unusual or out of the ordinary to happen to her then her everyday life, but that would never keep up, right?

Sydney Stockly was about to be cracked out of her shell weather she liked it or not.All Rights Reserved

New Year, Same Us - Auston Matthews by hockeybabestars

You and Auston had been friends since you were in kindergarten. You were close. Maybe too close from the outside looking in. But that was just you and Auston, never separating, never leaving from the others side. How many times did you have to tell people, "No, we're not a couple." And how many times did your heart burn wishing that you were. You were in love with him, at the very least, and you thought you did a good job at masking it from him. But apparently everyone else saw right through it. (1st person pov, (y/n) main character)

The Score (Sequel to The Exchange) by kennedy_trent

"So all I'm hearing is that I'm winning," I said, smiling at him. "Is everything a competition with you? I'm just trying to live here." "There are two types of people: life's winners and life's losers. I've been a loser for way too long now, and no one's going to stop me from evening the score." He shook his head. "You've lost a few games, metaphorically. That doesn't make you a loser." "That sounds like loser talk. And trust me, without me, you'd be losing everything." "I've been saying that for years, and you're just now beginning to believe it?" "Viktor, I've always known it, but that's what I'm trying to fix. We're going to be winners together, you and me, and whoever stands in our way is about to get steamrolled. Maybe I'm a bitch, but fuck it. I'm going to be the winningest bitch you've ever known." Amanda Jayne has goals, many goals, but most of them revolve around getting her close friend Viktor to score enough of them to get drafted into the NHL. After her graduation from Madison High, she has her sight set on Winterview University, the only college to accept her given her disciplinary record. But it also happens to be the school of her dreams, because of a promise she made to Viktor once upon a time. But when unforeseen changes are thrown at Amanda and her loved ones, how is she going to make those goals fit into the new circumstances? *COMPLETED* Cover by @HerCrystalHart

Sam Miller is not your average athlete for she is tall, strong & powerful not mention very tough, smart, vocal, driven, and extremely headstrong, and one might say that she had everything that one would need to be able to play her sport at the next level. Oh did we mention that she is the only girl on the Northfield High boys hockey team? Sam's life is going just the way she wanted it too before it was announced that the school was forming a girls hockey team, and that Sam was going to be the face of this new team which causes a sense of excitement to everyone except Sam. As much as she hates the idea of a girls hockey team, she agrees to be a part of the team, mostly so that she can fulfill her own selfish desires and pursue her personal goals even if it means giving up other parts of her life that once meant something to Sam like her faith, rather then care about the goals of the team. But all that changes when Sam meets Holley, a shy & awkward nerd, who also happens to be an elite hockey player, and AJ- a mysterious girl who knows a thing or two about playing hockey as well as life. After a rocky start, a bond forms between Sam, Holley and AJ, and from that first meeting to the championship game, we see this bond as it becomes a friendship between the three of them, and it is in part due to this friendship that both Holley and AJ mange to teach Sam some lifelong lessons both on the off the ice, and it's through what Sam learns in these teachings that help her to see that there is more to life, including what it means to be a better person, and what it means to become "saved".

OFF THE BOARDS, L.H by newyorkintheair

SYDNEY is a figure skater who's all about that Olympic dream. She's got tunnel vision when it comes to her goals-no partying, no boys, just ice and grit. But if there's one thing she can't stand, it's the cocky hockey players who think they own the rink. Especially Luke Hughes, the campus golden boy who acts like he's too cool to care about anything that doesn't involve a puck. Luke's the type of guy who gets whatever he wants-girls, attention, a free pass to do whatever the hell he feels like. He's tall, hot as hell, and so confident it's annoying. But he's also carrying a load of pressure no one knows about, and he's damn good at hiding it. Everyone thinks he's the guy with no worries, but the truth is, he's cracking under the weight of living up to his brothers' NHL legacy. That's why Sydney hates him. They're supposed to hate each other, but the tension between them is so thick you could cut it with a skate blade. And once that tension snaps, all bets are off. It's dirty, it's raw, and it's nothing like either of them expected. They can't keep their hands off each other, but when the dust settles, they're both left wondering if this is just a fling or something that's gonna fuck up everything they've worked for.

My Glass Angel by DarkeningSkies

Snow Richards is a shy seventeen year old girl. She's always kind of blended into the background, though she's never had a problem with that. Her life has been the opposite of easy in every way and she didn't need to bring attention to that. She hated it when other people pitied her and looked down on her. It was just better not to be looked at. Her mother died in a car accident when she was ten, leaving her father to care for both her and her younger brother Rain, who was seven years younger than her. Only a year ago she had found out her father had cancer, watching as it slowly killed her father right in front of her eyes. To top it off, she was picked on in school all the time. The name Snow was never a popular one. Since her mother died, Snow had become the mother of the family. She cared for her father when he was sick and practically raised her brother. Now she needed a job to keep them afloat, medical bills suffocating them. Finally she finds one as a maid/cook for a wealthy family: the Johnson's. Snow just wanted a job, but she was surprised by their caring son Ryan and how sweet he was to her. The whole family practically took her in. She doesn't want them to get too close though; she wouldn't pull them into her pain. Her burdens were her own. But when they keep trying to edge their way in, how will she handle it? How much more could she carry before she finally shattered like glass?

A Self-love Story by Kirsten_Sharp

Bliss. Delight. Contentment. Euphoria. Elation. Joy. Glee. Felicity. Jubilation. These are all words synonymous to the word happiness. But what is true happiness? Happiness is that feeling of butterflies fluttering around in your chest, trying to break out. Happiness is that invisible fluid rushing in your veins, making you shiver in the most wonderful way. Happiness is the force that pulls your cheeks up into the widest smile and makes your eyes twinkle. Happiness makes you light-headed and giddy, it is in fact like alcohol. Well then, I am utterly and completely drunk. When you're happy, everything feels amazing. Even small insignificant things like getting up in the morning. The golden hue of sunlight streaming in through the curtains feels like a soft caress from the hand of a lover. The birds seem to chirp sweetly outside, a melody to which the leaves sway as if mesmerised by their music. The curtains tango with the wind beautifully. Every little thing seems perfect. And that's a word I'd use to describe my life. Perfect. To give you a little introduction about me, let me start by explaining the most important aspects of my life. I have a loving family. There's my sarcastic, yet surprisingly sweet brother, my beautiful mother (both in looks and spirit) and my stern, yet humorous father. I have the best best friend, Charlotte and I have an amazing boyfriend, Theo. I'm quite beautiful and popular too which I'm not saying to brag, I'm just stating the truth. So that is my life. The life of Tia-Jade Garcia. *** What she didn't know was that every high has a low and that the higher you rise, the lower you fall and the more painful that fall is. Follow her story as she loses everybody she ever cared for and thereby her happiness. See her fight all of her demons by herself. Watch her fall in love...with herself because the only person's love you'll always need is yours. This is her self-love story.
