For as long as anyone in their hometown could remember, Cade McAvoy, Rhett Holloway, Nolan Larson, and Silas Donovan had been inseparable—four boys raised by freezing rinks, bruised knuckles, bus rides before sunrise, and a shared dream that somehow carried them from childhood hockey leagues all the way into college athletics. Together they built reputations on the ice that made people notice them long before they ever stepped onto a campus. To most people, they looked untouchable: talented, disciplined, loud in all the ways college athletes usually are. But behind the noise of games, parties, and rivalries, each of them carried routines and habits that kept them grounded in ways nobody really understood except each other.
