![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Which is the only reason I’m a professional hockey player who lives on the beach and does as he pleases without answering to anyone-except my father.īeing a single dad wasn’t in the plan but after a one-night stand who took off after the baby was born, this is my reality. I promised myself a long time ago that I wouldn’t change for anyone. She’s going to learn that I didn’t become a professional hockey player without having to fight for what I want.īeing the heir to Jacobs Enterprises, I’ve been around fake people my entire life. I find her and when I get to know her better, I end up spending more time thinking about her than my game, but she’s made it clear she wants no part of me. Get your mind out of the gutter, I’m not talking about it. Now, I have to track her down and bribe her to do it again before every game. Imagine my surprise when after spending New Year’s Eve with a woman, I score a hat trick in the next game-that’s three goals in one game for you non-hockey lovers. I’d wear the same socks for an entire year just to be the high-scoring center I used to be. But now the best way to refer to me is desperate. I haven’t scored in eight games and my team owner is talking about trading me. I prefer to call it hard work, at least I did until my game went to complete crap. The one adjective used to describe my entire hockey career. ![]()
