Why this must be read:
No matter how much we love watching these guys on the ice, the time inevitably comes when they have to give up playing hockey forever. The saddest stories are those players who can't overcome injuries and are forced out against their will. Other players bow to age (unless their names rhyme with Yaromeer Yawger or something like that) and have a bittersweet last home game.
Is it better to burn out or to fade away?
This story is about a player who never broke into the NHL, although he was signed for many years by the Philadelphia Flyers. Tyler Brown retires at age 23, not due to injury but due to lack of will to continue pounding against the door to the NHL that remains closed to him. So what does a guy do when he has never done anything his entire life except play hockey?
First, he falls in love with his best friend, and then second, he goes to college. Along the way, he learns to deal with letting go of hockey, living with a millionaire boyfriend without losing either his pride or dignity, and forging a new life for himself. This is ultimately a hopeful fic about the reality of the lifespan of a hockey career.
