Finn Ryenolds in a college hockey player who is under pressure and lacking confidence. His father was a hockey legend and Finn never feels good enough, and it is affecting his confidence on the ice. He devises a plan to get help and goalie tips from an older player. And that happens to be his father's longtime rival.

Jacob Braun has retired after a stellar goalie career, but is a bit lost. He is a reclusive, broody loner. He has ideas to start a foundation, but that would also mean coming out himself. When Finn asks for help, his first instinct is to avoid it due to complications and fear.

But Finn convinces him to coach him and then proceeds to wear down his defenses regarding their physical attraction. But it is not just physical with these two and even from the beginning they seem to have this sense of understanding, attraction, and know how to support the other. 

Things are okay in their little secret bubble. But to be more, they will eventually have to face the public, their future, and ...Finn's father. 

I liked Finn and Jacob together. They actually fit together well despite their differences and issues. I liked seeing them both be able to grow individually and help each other find their own way with the right kind of support.

This is a rival's son, age gap, hockey romance about a young player finding his self-worth, confidence, and making his own mark in hockey. But it is also about two retired players coming to terms with the end of their hockey careers, healing, and trying to move on to a better future. It brings back the other couples and teases a spin-off story.
