scowled as I surveyed my players stumbling across the ice at today’s
practice. They were slow and lazy, and I was getting frustrated. I
shouted at them, “Get your asses in gear.” Jesus, why I’d let my best
buddy and ex-hockey teammate, Reed Hampton, talk me into partnering
with him to buy a minor-league hockey team, I’d never know.
“They need to dig deeper,” I grumbled mostly to myself.

Reed nodded beside me. “I’ve seen better, too.”
“We need to step it up,” Bo, the newest member of the coaching staff,
chimed in. As one of the greatest to play the game, I thought his presence
would motivate the young men on the team. They were in awe of him, but it
didn’t seem to improve their skills on the ice.
“We can’t afford any weak links.” I thought of the Silver Nuggets, our
rivals down in Henderson, and how much more cohesive they were. Except
for Big Ed, who clearly balked at having a woman as a coach. Inwardly, I
kicked myself for thinking of Naomi Withers. Every time she entered my
mind, I had dirty thoughts. This time, it was imagining her on the ice in
nothing but skimpy lingerie. Fuck.
“I’d like to sell out the season. We need to prove that Las Vegas is a hub
for sports and strong enough to support two minor-league hockey teams.”
I nodded in agreement. When Reed and I bought the Buckaroos, they’d
been in a steady decline, and there were questions about moving the team or
simply disbanding it. But for the last few years, using Reed’s fortune from
his online betting empire along with my coaching skills from the NHL,
we’d been doing our damnedest to turn this team around. So far, we looked
like idiots for buying the team, and me for leaving an NHL team the year
before it won the Stanley Cup.
Naomi’s team, the Silver Nuggets, weren’t faring much better. Business
wonder-man Todd Marshall had bought the team recently. The man was
often called the Midas of Business because everything he touched turned to
gold. Everyone thought he was nuts to hire Naomi to coach his ragtag team,
including me. But I didn’t think it was a crazy move because she was a
woman. Naomi knew her shit when it came to hockey. If hockey had
prodigies or savants, she’d be one. But as far as society had come in
treating women equally, it hadn’t arrived in professional men’s sports, and
when it did, hockey would be the last to accept it.
Bo and I had snuck into a Silver Nuggets practice not long ago, and
while some of her team was on board with her coaching, many, including
Big Ed, their star player, weren’t. Between Ed and angry fans who didn’t
think she could pull it off, Naomi had a lot working against her. Why would
Marshall set himself up like that?
Then again, maybe it would give us an advantage, which we’d need if
my players kept skating like they had their heads up their asses.
