The NHL’s All-Star Weekend is my chance to play alongside the best of the best. For the first time in my goaltending career, I’ve not only been selected to participate, I’ve also been hand chosen to play on Eric Sinclair’s team.

Larger than life, Eric is the kind of goalie I aspire to become: a stalwart defender of the crease and a legend in the league who’s beloved by his team and fans. He’s my idol, my hero, and I can’t believe he wants to get to know me.

When Eric and I return to the regular season, we keep in touch, growing closer over texting. The man behind the helmet emerges. Even though I shouldn’t, I can’t help myself from falling in love with him, but I’m completely out of my depth. I’ve never even had a boyfriend before, and more than just physical distance separates us. Our two teams are on a collision course to meet in the playoffs. More than our postseason futures are on the line.

Funny how one weekend can change everything.

Connection From Chicago is an MM hockey romance which follows two NHL goaltenders. This slow burn, epistolary romance shows love is worth fighting for in the face of adversity and distance.
