Hockey Stories

Quinn Taylor has made a career out of looking calm. On the ice, she's America's favorite kind of pressure-proof-bright smile, steady answers, the skater everyone wants to root for. Off the ice, she's an only child with a perfectionist's brain and a habit of carrying too much alone. The cameras love her. The country expects her. And the one place she can't afford to fall apart is the one place she's dreamed of since she was little. The Olympics. Macklin Celebrini has always made things feel lighter. He was the new kid at a Northern California rink at twelve-Canadian, polite, a little lost-until Quinn decided he was hers to keep. He became her best friend in the cold air and early mornings, the person who could make her laugh mid-breakdown and never ask her to perform for him. Then life did what life does: seasons changed, schedules got brutal, distance widened, and the kind of friendship that felt unbreakable turned into occasional texts and quiet missing. Now they're both back where the world is loudest. At the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, Quinn is chasing the skate of her life for Team USA. Mack is carrying his own weight for Team Canada hockey. When reporters find out they grew up together, the story writes itself-childhood friends reunited, smiles caught on camera, a thousand strangers deciding what they are to each other. The only problem is... the strangers aren't entirely wrong. Between past chapters at a small California rink and present days in the Olympic Village, Quinn and Mack have to figure out what they really meant to each other then-and what they're allowed to be now, with medals on the line and the whole world watching. Because it's one thing to love someone quietly from a distance. It's another to have them show up in your life again and make everything feel possible.

What happens when your first heartbreak becomes your biggest distraction? --- Everyone at Henley University knows Logan Adams, the charming 6'3 star forward with an easy smile and eyes you could drown in. But I remember the boy before all of that. The one who watched Marvel movies with me, who fell on the ice more times than he'd ever admit, and who promised we'd always be friends. That was years ago. I haven't seen him since our high school graduation, long after we stopped being friends. Now I'm transferring to Henley, and working as a student medical assistant for the hockey team. For the first time in years, I'll be around Logan... The boy who broke my heart without ever realizing it was in his hands. ****The Henley Boys is a series of standalones.

Hollow Bones She left with bruises she couldn't explain and a son who'd learned to read a room before he learned to read words. Starting over in a town she doesn't know, Kailea Mai is holding everything together with nothing left to spare. She has one rule - don't let anyone in. She kept it for two years. Then Theo Buckley paid for her son's stolen chocolate, smiled like it was nothing, and walked away without asking for a single thing in return. He's patient in a way she doesn't trust yet. Steady in a way she's never seen. And Elio already thinks he hung the moon, which is the most terrifying thing of all. The last thing Kailea needs is someone new to trust. The last thing she expected was someone who made trusting feel less like a risk and more like breathing. But her past doesn't care about any of that - and Jasper Davies has never known when to let something go.

Audrey has a problem. A blonde-haired, blue-eyed, handsome... charming...hockey player problem. Will says he wants to keep it casual, but every time he's near her, his actions betray him. She can't figure him out... or what they are. And he won't let her. Winning is everything to Will...on the ice, in the spotlight, in life...and love doesn't fit into his game plan. But neither does Audrey. Every moment, every heated argument, every soft touch, and shared haze between them pulls them closer, even as their past and their doubts threaten to push them apart. Audrey knows she can't ignore the fire between them, but trusting him not to hurt her might be the hardest game she's ever played. Does she walk away, or risk it all for a chance at the love she's been chasing...without knowing if he's ready to commit?

Request open! Ilya Rozanov Connor Storrie

Autumn has wanted one thing for as long as she can remember: to wear white at Wimbledon. Since she was six years old, every early morning, every blistered hand, every ignored ache has been in service of that dream. Ned has wanted to be in the NHL. Ice in his veins, a stick in his hands, and a future he's been skating toward his entire life. When the two of them are forced to train in the same elite gym and share the same sponsors, friction is inevitable. Autumn sees him as loud, careless, and distracting, everything she refuses to be. Ned sees her as rigid, relentless, and wound too tight to ever breathe. What begins as irritation turns into rivalry. Rivalry turns into something neither of them are prepared for. As Autumn pushes herself harder than ever, her body starts to crack under the pressure she refuses to acknowledge. And the last person she wants noticing is the boy who looks at her like he sees more than just her wins. Because falling for him might be the one thing that costs her everything she's ever worked for.

Two hockey rivals. One tiny girl. Zero chill. When MHL enemies-to-lovers legends Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov become dads to Lillian Jane Rozanov-Hollander, they assume one thing: She's going to dominate hockey. Obviously. Before she can hold her own head up, she has custom skates. Before she can talk, they're arguing whether she'll represent Canada or Russia. (USA was eliminated immediately.) Every milestone becomes a competition. Every smile is contested. Every nap is tactical. But Lili has other plans. Instead of slapshots and body checks, she falls in love with edges, music, and ice dance. Now Shane is memorizing figure skating scoring breakdowns at 3AM. Ilya is screaming in the stands about artistry and insisting she "cannot be boring like Dada." And both of them are learning that raising a daughter might be harder than winning a championship. This is a story about: • competitive dads who love too hard • tiny skates and big drama • locker room chaos • rink-side arguments • international identity crises • and one girl who was never going to be ordinary Because she didn't grow up in a rivalry. She was born in one. And she's about to rewrite it.

When the boy who looks at me like I'm a problem starts looking at me like I'm the only thing keeping him together.
