Before hockey became their careers, before the draft nights and the professional contracts, they were just four friends trying to figure out life at Boston College.
The world knew the name before they knew the person. Being Sidney Crosby’s daughter meant growing up with expectations attached to every achievement. But {y/n} spent her entire life proving she was more than a famous last name. She built her own legacy on the ice. After years of sacrifice and dedication, she became a World Champion just one year before the Milan Olympics. Now, she was preparing for her second Olympic appearance, ready to represent Canada on the biggest stage once again. The only person who made the pressure feel lighter was Macklin Celebrini. The NHL’s newest star. The player everyone called the future of hockey. The same player who once looked up to her father and was now preparing to wear a Team Canada jersey beside him. What no one knew was that Macklin and {y/n} had already chosen each other. For nearly a year, they had kept their relationship hidden behind closed doors. In San Jose, away from cameras and expectations, they were simply two people who understood the weight of chasing impossible dreams. Only a few people knew the truth. Everyone except Sidney. Now, with the Olympics bringing them closer to the spotlight than ever, their biggest challenge wouldn’t be winning gold. It would be keeping their secret from the one person they both respected the most.

But timing was never on their side.
