As a thirty-five-year-old hockey player, I’ve learned a hard lesson in loyalty. I was supposed to be a lifer for the Chicago Tigers, but the team left me out in the cold, choosing to protect younger players in the expansion draft. The next thing I know, I’m in a strange city with a fledgling team, and my estranged wife has served me with divorce papers. Not the best way to start a new chapter in my career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the team struggles to find its identity and win games, I struggle with my role as team captain, proving I’m not too old to play at a high level, and getting beyond my failed marriage. All this is complicated by an undeniable attraction to the owner’s daughter. As the team racks up the losses, I seek solace with the one woman whose very presence could destroy what’s left of my career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
