At Briar University, everything revolves around hockey—and the players who rule the ice. Transferring in mid-semester, you’re not looking for attention, drama, or a place in their world. You’ve spent long enough being defined by someone else’s name, someone else’s expectations. This time, you’re here for yourself. But Briar doesn’t make it easy to stay on the sidelines. Between late-night parties, high-stakes games, and a tight-knit group that doesn’t let outsiders in easily, you find yourself pulled into a world that’s louder, messier, and far more complicated than you expected. The deeper you get, the more you start to notice what others don’t—the pressure, the cracks, the things no one talks about. And the more you try to keep your distance… the harder it becomes. Because at Briar, nothing stays casual for long. Not friendships. Not rivalries. And definitely not the way certain people start to look at you.
