You and Rutger were best friends since childhood, originally he was friends with your older brother, but then he met you, a female ice hockey goalie, he was a right wing, and you could block his shots, which some male goalies couldn’t do to him. So you guys clicked and became friends.

You played on Honey Baked with him, 12uAAA, until Little Caesar’s boys 14uAAA saw you play, and asked to tryout with them next season, so you did, and he stayed back on Honey Baked. You guys stayed in touch for a while, before eventually going low contact as you both got caught up in travel.

Yet, in college, for Michigan Wolverines, you got on their boys ice hockey team, and the first team practice, arrived McGroarty.
