Thirty seconds.

Thirty seconds left and the money is all yours. You can see it now — the lavish outfits, brand new skates, and even silk hair ties for when you want to play dress up. Mark Lee just has to miss this shot.

“He’s going to fucking make it,” Doyeon hisses in your ear, chewing on her nails in anticipation.

“Shut up!” You push her away and tell her to stop damaging her fingers.

You watch as Mark glides across the ice, almost knocking into Doyoung twice. “Slam him, slam him!” You screech, ignoring the stares of people around you. You simply want to see Mark get wiped out so glory can be within your reach.

You feel your world collapse when the puck hits the net, time stopping in slow motion as the crowd jumps up in pure bliss. Doyeon’s already crying in your shoulder, and you hear the angry shouts of Chaeyoung on your other side.

Mark Lee, you fucking asshole.

—

Since you were five years old, the ice became your home. And no, you didn’t have an awakening and gain powers like Elsa from Frozen. Your mother discovered how much you loved figure skating, even though your brother, Johnny, was a tall, bumbling mess once he stepped in the rink.

Once your talent was discovered, you were enrolled in figure skating classes and spent most of your afternoons gliding around the ice. You were excited to learn that you could possibly do the sport professionally if you practiced hard enough, but nobody told you how difficult the athletics administration could be.

You were scouted for your college because of your talents in figure skating, many believing you would be a great candidate for the Winter Olympics. However, when you arrived to campus, you learned that you would never be the first priority in the athletics budget.

It was a constant battle between figure skating and ice hockey for the money. Most of the funds went to football and basketball anyways, so you didn’t have much to fight for in the first place. The deal made by the athletics department was simple — if the ice hockey team could not carry themselves to a national championship, the rest of their budget would be distributed to your team.

The victory was within reach until Mark Lee scored the winning goal Friday night, making the ice hockey team one step closer to the national title.

You’re currently waiting for them to finish practice, tapping your foot impatiently as you stand besides the opening to the rink. You finally hear the boys finish up, laughing with one another as they exit. Their eyes narrow at the sight of you.

“Don’t you have better things to do?” Ten asks.

You smile. “Nope. Sicheng, we need to talk.”

The captain sighs and follows you until you’re out of earshot. “What is it now?”

You scoff. “You know damn well my team deserves the money more than you do. Worlds is just around the corner and we need the money in order to get there.”

Sicheng laughs at you, still holding his helmet from practice in one hand. “Please. Don’t act like you’re doing this for your team, we both know you’re just wanting to advance for yourself.”

If you could punch Sicheng without facing a lawsuit, your life would be so much easier. You take a step closer to him, ignoring the immediate flush in his cheeks at the proximity.

“I hope your team fails at the next game. I’ll be watching when you do.”

“Stop harassing him.” Mark approaches the scene, pulling his captain’s shoulder and pushing him away from you. “Just face that your team won’t make it. Can’t blame us for your failure.”

You smile sweetly at Mark. He’s been haunted ever since Donghyuck leaked his secret that he used to like you during your freshman year. Mark used to follow you around like a lost puppy, but now, he has no hesitation putting you in place. You know you still have the advantage over him because after all, he can’t deny the way his heart beats when he sees you.

Sicheng observes as you grip onto the fabric of Mark’s uniform, pulling him close until his nose is inches away from yours. Mark gulps at the proximity, not feeling so confident anymore.

“Don’t act like if I dropped to my knees right now, you wouldn’t jump at the chance to stuff my mouth full-”

“Okay!” Sicheng exclaims, pulling the blushing boy to his side. Mark’s cheeks are almost as bright as his uniform. Sicheng glares at you. “We’re going to win on Friday. Then, I’m taking your entire team’s budget.”

You smirk. “Good luck with that.”

—

“I’m not sure this is going to work,” Yeji remarks, watching as Doyeon pulls a tight black dress over your head. You roll your eyes at her comment while Chaeyoung helps you adjust the spaghetti straps of your dress.

“Don’t be so negative,” Seojeong flicks Yeji’s forehead, causing the younger girl to glare at her.

You’re all gathered in Doyeon’s living room, trying to hatch out a plan that Yeji believes is doomed to fail. Tonight was the celebratory party before the game, a dumb idea concocted by Donghyuck on every Thursday night. It goes to show how irresponsible the ice hockey team really is, getting wasted the night before their biggest game. However, tonight works in your favor, because as demonstrated just a few days ago, you still have Mark Lee in your waiting palm. All he needs is a little push away from his teammates and you’ve fully got him. Once the plan is in place, you highly doubt Mark will be able to perform well tomorrow. Considering he’s the team’s best player, taking him down secures a win for the figure skating team.

“Does everyone know their roles?” You check again, eyeing Yeji from her spot on Doyeon’s couch.

She scoffs. “Of course I do.”

“Good,” Chaeyoung nods. “Remember that this isn’t just for us but the future figure skaters for years to come.”

None of you have time to comment on Chaeyoung’s dramatics, already seeing how stressed she is by the way she tugs at her hair frantically trying to apply lip gloss on you. The girls finish getting you all dolled up when Seojeong gets a text.

“Yuta says Mark’s ready,” she announces. You thank the heavens that Yuta was able to get in the ice hockey’s team good graces, none of them expecting the figure skater to be a double agent.

“Let’s get him then,” you grin.

You’re quickly shoved into Yeji’s tiny car and the five of you are off to Donghyuck’s apartment. There’s commotion when you arrive — Sungchan standing on the couch and declaring Sicheng the cutest man alive, Ten giggling with Yangyang by the kitchen counter, Donghyuck’s tongue shoved down a random girl’s throat and Jeno trying to save Mark from choking in the bathroom. Your eyes meet Yuta’s and he winks at you, making sure no one else has seen your arrival. You lean on the doorframe of Donghyuck’s bathroom, smiling at the two of them. Jeno sees you first, urgently patting Mark’s back to save him.

“What’s wrong? Did he see a naked girl or something?”

Mark’s eyes shoot up at the sound of your voice and he gets even more flustered, coughing and choking even more now.

“Why are you here?” Jeno frowns.

You smile and shrug. “To enjoy the show. I can handle Mark from here, Jeno.”

Jeno laughs. “As if I would leave him with you.”

“But Yeji’s waiting in the living room. Are you really going to keep her waiting?”

You smirk at Jeno’s confliction before he finally gives in, leaving Mark and you in the bathroom. You shut the door while Mark recovers, downing a glass of water to help the food go down. “Why are you really here?” He asks once he’s calmed down. He tries not to linger on what you’re wearing, the swell of your breasts tempting him in this close proximity. His gaze flies to the ceiling when your hand wraps around his shoulder, pulling him in closer and letting his fingers rest on your hip.

“What’s wrong, Mark? Scared of a little action?”

“I know what you’re doing,” he hisses. “We’re going to win tomorrow. You can’t stop me.”

You pout. “Is the win really worth it, Mark? Do you want it more than my pussy around your cock?” He grunts lowly, fingers tightening around your waist. You smile. “Or what about your cock shoved down my throat until I can’t breathe? You could easily bend me over the sink and take me any way you want. Doesn’t that sound so much better?”

“Don’t,” he warns you, cord about to snap. “You’re being such a brat.”

He needs one more push. You lean closer to whisper in his ear. “Please, Mark? I want your cum inside me. Need it dripping down my thighs so everyone can see who I belong to.”

He breaks, growling as he pushes you against the sink. You giggle when his lips crash into yours, his hands quickly moving to push up the fabric of your dress. He delivers one slap to your clothed clit and you moan at the sensation.

“Fucking annoying whore,” he scoffs at you. “Look at you. So fucking desperate for money that you would drive all the way here just to take my cock like a good girl. That’s what you want, isn’t it? For me to fuck you until you cry?”

You nod frantically, whimpering. “Please please please. I want it so badly.”

He shoves two fingers in your dripping hole and you cry, back arching against the mirror. Mark’s fingers grip your cheeks and he turns you so that you’re looking right at him. You hold his stare when his thumb rubs frantically at your clit, fingers curling inside of you.

“S-So good, so good,” you blubber, eyes rolling back at the pleasure filling your veins.

You whine when he retracts his fingers but he’s quick to drop to his knees, ripping your underwear and flinging it to the side so he has no obstacles in his way. He immediately dives into your pussy, licking and sucking at your folds. You internally curse. You had no idea Mark was this good at eating pussy or you would’ve prepared yourself more. Your fingers tangle in his hair as his lips attach to your clit, abusing the nub by sucking harshly.

The pain throws you into your first orgasm, whimpering loudly as you fall apart around Mark’s tongue. He quickly cleans you up, not missing any of your juices as he licks your pussy clean.

His eyes darken when he stands, taking in the sight of you looking so fucked out on top of the bathroom sink. He’s about to unbuckle his belt before you stop him.

“I want to fuck at your place. Please?”

He nods at your request, helping you get down and adjusting your dress. It’s a little harder to walk since Mark ripped your panties, but you make do. You two exit the bathroom and you’re about to leave before you hear Donghyuck’s voice.

“Where the fuck are you two going?”

You glance at Mark, who’s a little irritated by his teammate’s appearance.

“Mind your own fucking business, Donghyuck.”

You smirk at the blonde boy’s shocked expression as you two leave his apartment. Mark walks fast, fumbling with the keys to his car.

“I didn’t know you could drive.”

“Trust me, I can’t.”

The drive to his apartment involves two pit stops, the first one happening because you desperately want to give Mark a blowjob and the second one happening because Mark desperately wants to taste you again.

When you finally get to his apartment, the both of you are already a mess. You don’t even make it to the bedroom — Mark shoving you down on his living room rug and pushing his cock deep inside you. You moan at the intrusion and Mark wastes no time, setting up a fast pace and ramming his cock into your sweet spot over and over again. You’re a drooling mess, letting him abuse your pussy. His fingers tangle into your hair and he pulls you upwards. He balances you so that your back is against his chest.

“Such a perfect little slut for me. What would the panel of judges at Worlds say when they see you? The future Olympic gold medalist begging for cock?”

“I would let them see,” you whisper back at him. “Let them know what lengths I would go to just to win that fucking competition.”

You fall apart around his cock again, your orgasms coming faster after the first two. You whine when you hear Mark’s constant grunts filling your ears.

“Cum inside, Mark. Want all of your cum.”

“Yeah? Little whore wants it all? Wants to be bred like a good little bitch?”

You cry. “Yes, yes, yes! I want it so badly.”

That’s all it takes for Mark to shoot ribbons of white inside of you, coating your insides. You both collapse on the floor, exhausted.

A few minutes pass in silence before Mark speaks up. “I’m ready to go again after I eat some ramen.”

You laugh. “Make it two servings and I’ll be ready.”

He eagerly gets up and shuffles to his kitchen. You smirk, searching for your phone and shooting a text to the group chat.

I’ve got him. The money’s all ours.

After eating ramen and chatting for a little bit, Mark takes you again on the barstool of his kitchen. Then, he fucks you up against the wall, on his couch and in his bed.

He’s thoroughly fucked out when you two finish and you smile, leaning over to kiss him.

“Good luck with your game tomorrow.”

You leave him laying in his bed, wondering if he just jeopardized the future of his team.

—

There’s one minute left in the game.

The team is down by one point and they’re all looking at Mark as they huddle together. Donghyuck hisses at him.

“Did she fuck you stupid? We’re going to lose everything because of you!”

Mark shakes his head, trying to compose himself. It’s hard to do so when he spots you in the crowd, smiling at him as if you want him to win. You’ve thoroughly fucked with his head, his thoughts constantly traveling to the image of you beneath him, sobbing as he shoves his thick cock into you mercilessly.

“This is your fault, Jeno!” Ten growls. “You should’ve never left Mark alone with her!”

“Everyone, shut up!” Sicheng bellows, annoyed by his teammates. “We’re going to lose if we don’t focus. What’s wrong with you, Mark?”

“I-I don’t know.”

Donghyuck scoffs. “I think I do.”

Sicheng glares at the younger male to be quiet. “I don’t care what it is anymore. There’s one minute left and I need you to get it together.”

“I will, I will,” Mark insists, even though he’s not so sure about it himself. They break the huddle and get back into the game, Mark trying to focus as the referee blows the whistle. Jung Jaehyun comes charging at him and Mark tries to dodge.

“Come on, Mark!”

As soon as he hears your voice overpower the audience, he loses his balance and Jaehyun slams him up against the wall. Mark groans when he tumbles to the ground and it isn’t long before he hears the final buzzer echo in the rink. The competing team jumps for joy, laughing with one another as they meet in the middle of the ice. Mark stays on the ground, watching pitifully as his teammates slump in defeat.

His eyes look for yours again in the stands, but you’re already long gone.

So please be patient I will have the second part up soon, and I really hope you guys enjoy this part. PLEASE let me know what you guys think feedback is much appreciated!

Part One. Part Two. 

Her breathing was laboured, her eyes closed shut as he moved his hips against hers, his cock throbbing as her walls clenched around him. His breathing mirrored hers. She was a sight to be seen underneath him, her hair fanned out on his pillow as she moaned his name. 

“Baby,” He moaned as his thrusts became more erratic. She opened her eyes and looked at him. 

“Look at me Yuta.” Her voice even, the pleasure gone from it, her moans faded, confused he opened his eyes and looked down at her. Her eyes were red, a huge cut on her forehead oozing blood into her eyes, more blood poured out her mouth onto his white sheets. He struggled to move out of her as she wrapped her cold arms around him and pulled him down to decaying skin, 

“Look at what you did to me.” 

Yuta sat up abruptly in his bed, quickly moving off of it as his breathing staggered, he moved his hand to his throat looking down at his bed only to see clean white sheets. His breathing only worsened as his brain reeled from the nightmare, it’s not your fault Taeyong’s voice said, but Yuta pushed it to the back of his head. You couldn’t have known that that was going to happen man. That was Johnny.  He pushed both voices out of his head his hands shaking as his eyes blurred. He was going to puke, charging out his room he slammed into the shared bathroom door before hunching over the toilet and letting out the contents of his stomach. 

That’s what they thought because Yuta didn’t have it in him to tell them the truth, he knew that the moment he told them the reassuring words would stop and they would see him for the monster that he was. They would see him as the guy that let the girl die. 

“Hey, Yuta, are you okay?” It was Taeyong’s girlfriend. Her concern blatantly showing on her face, but he didn’t deserve her concern or her kindness. She would hate him the most if she knew the truth seeing as she was Ara’s best friend. The same Ara that was dead. His stomach turned again, and he puked again. His throat burning, his mind suffocating from the pain that he was feeling. I deserve it. 

He couldn’t look at her, he didn’t want him to see her face, his face was wet from sweat and the tears that had flown down his face. Kicking the door closed towards her he didn’t say anything. The act was enough to let her know to leave him alone. He stayed on the floor pulling his knees up to his chest as he tried to calm down his breathing. Yuta ignored her as she knocked on the door again. 

“Just go away.” He finally said to her, his voice rough. “You’re the last person I want to see right now.” He didn’t have anything against her, he just couldn’t stand being around her she served as a constant reminder, in the beginning, he’d lied to himself and believed the boys when they told him that it wasn’t his fault but the more time she was around the more time he spent with her the more Ara came back to his head, the more that night haunted him. Now she was always around, and he couldn’t stand it. He felt like he was drowning in his head, he needed to get out. He needed to go to a place where she was not, but for now, the bathroom was enough. 

He listened as her footsteps retreated, minutes later heavier footsteps came towards the bathroom. Yuta moved to flush the toilet and stand up as Taeyong got to the door of the bathroom. 

“Yuta?” His voice was soft like he was talking to a toddler, “You good man?” He asked. Turning on the faucet Yuta stared at his red and splotchy face, he quickly closed his eyes and looked down plunging his hands under the cold water. He couldn’t stand to see his face. 

“Yeah man, I just drank too much last night.” Another lie flowing past his lips as he bent down to splash the water in his face. Before grabbing for his toothpaste. 

“Do you need anything?” Taeyong’s voice was full of the same concern that his girlfriend had. Yuta’s head spun they wouldn’t be this concerned if they knew why he was in this state. 

“No, I’ll be fine.” 

He didn’t sleep after that afraid of what he’d see if he closed his eyes. Four hours later the sun rose allowing Yuta to make his way to the rink for practice. Last night’s game hadn’t gone well for them, it was their third loss of the season and their coach was pissed. Yuta smiled at the fact that today’s practice would be gruelling, it would help him numb his brain from the thoughts that invaded his mind. He wouldn’t be able to see past the tiring pain of the training their coach would outline for them. 

He arrived at the rink just as Doyoung and Jaehyun did. The younger boys welcoming him as they walked into the arena. 

“You didn’t come with the captain and Johnny today?” Jaehyun asked, Yuta shook his head. 

“Nah the Captain was a little preoccupied with his girlfriend and Johnny wasn’t awake yet.” 

Both the boys nodded, and they walked into the arena silently, Doyoung letting out yawn after yawn as they got to the locker room. 

“Did you not get enough sleep?” Yuta asked him, and Jaehyun snickered. 

“His girlfriend doesn’t let him sleep.” Yuta chuckled at the younger boy as well as he let out another yawn following which his face turned a deep shade of red. 

Yuta got dressed in silence after that, as the younger two joked with each other. The practice would run two hours from five to seven leaving the boys that had an eight-thirty class just enough time to shower and head to their classes. 

The scent of the fresh ice helped Yuta to keep his mind centred as he got into his gear focusing very hard on every task he had before heading out to the ice. 

An hour into the practice Yuta’s head was spinning, he was slower than everyone else and though his brain felt calm on the rink his body wasn’t keeping up with him. He coughed harshly as he slammed into the side to grab his water from the bench. 

“You’re slacking today Nakamoto.” His coach barked at him. He didn’t respond as he swished the water around his mouth, just chucked the bottle back at the bench before going back skating back to where everyone else was in standing in a line. 

“You okay dude?” Johnny asked from his left. 

“Yeah.” 

“Apparently he’s just hungover,” Taeyong said from his right, Yuta could hear the sneer in Taeyong’s voice. Luckily the coach blew the whistle before Yuta could say anything and the line of Hockey players took off down the rink towards the first line before skating back to the start. Yuta kept up for the most part but his heart was pounding in his ears and he was feeling faint. The practice finished off with him skating off the rink behind everyone else. 

“Dude, are you actually drinking on a Thursday night?” Johnny asked him as they walked over to their cubbies to rid themselves of their gear before taking a shower. 

Yuta didn’t get a chance to reply before Taeyong scoffed from his side. 

“He was puking his guts out at two in the morning.” Yuta rolled his eyes and kept his mouth shut. 

“Where the fuck did you drink?” Johnny asked again, his voice low not wanted the others to hear him. 

“My room.” Yuta lied. 

“You’re drinking alone in your room?” His voice was full of judgement. Yuta shrugged and walked away from them heading towards the showers. It was easier to let them think he was just being an idiot that drank on weekdays then to let them know what was actually happening in his head. 

---

You fucked up; you left your entire bag in Doyoung’s car. Pulling on your jacket over one of Doyoung’s hoodies you forced yourself to run to campus. You had a meeting at eight with your group mates and needed your bag for it, seeing as all your work was in it. It was already seven you only had an hour to get your stuff and get ready in your dorm. You’d told Doyoung to wake you up and take to campus with him when he’d be going to practice, but you’d only been asleep for three hours before he was up again shaking you, and you just didn’t have it in yourself to get up. Now here you were suffering in the cold November air as you jogged your way to the arena. Lucky for you it wasn’t too far but it was still torturous. One, you didn’t run or partake in any physical activity at that, and two, it was cold as shit you could feel your nose start to run. Huffing out clouds of air you made it to the arena, slamming through the front doors and into the warmth of the heated entrance, you put your hands on your knees and took in large breaths to normalize your breathing. You needed his keys, checking the time on your phone you realized he was probably in the shower he had an eight-thirty as well, but you couldn’t wait for him to come out you needed your bag now so that you could get into your dorm and get ready and be at your meeting. 

Taking in a large breath you charged towards the direction of the men’s locker room. Bracing yourself before you became too embarrassed to do what you were about to you slammed your hand into the door as stumbled your way in. Looking around you came to face boys in different degrees of dress in their practice gear. 

“Y/N?” Jaehyun squeaked looking at you naked from the top half. 

“Where is Doyoung?” You asked as the boy rounded the corner. 

“Babe what are you doing here?” he asked crowding into your space towards the door. 

“I need your keys I need to grab my bag.” He nodded his head not asking any questions. He quickly made his way to his cubby and back to you shoving the keys into your palm. 

 “Keep them with you I’ll see you after my first class.” He pressed a kiss to your lips before pushing you out the door. You didn’t have time to react to what he said or what he did you just booked it to his car. 

---

Yuta was stuck in his spot staring at the door Doyoung had just pushed you through, he was shocked, that was Doyoung’s girlfriend. Yuta shook his head, he didn’t mean anything rude by it, actually, he didn’t know what he meant by it he just knew that he was amused by what had just happened. 

He saw you again at lunch, you were in a black turtleneck that clung to your skin and was tucked into a pair of ripped jeans, you had subtle makeup on your face and your hair was curled. You looked amazing. Yuta was stuck staring until Johnny slammed his bottle onto the table dramatically turning everyone’s attention towards him as he slammed his ass into the chair next to Yuta’s. 

“I fucking hate History man, why the fuck do I need to know what some old fuck did in 1718.” He grumbled. 

Taeyong laughed at him, “Told you not to take History as your elective.” 

“I thought it would be easy.” The table laughed. 

“You thought remembering an insane amount of dates and the names of dead guys was going to be easy?” You asked from across the table as you stole food from Doyoung’s tray. Yuta’s eyes followed your hand as you put the French Fry into your mouth, your white teeth biting down on it. Yuta held his breath as you chewed. Doyoung chuckled at you as you took more fries from his plate. Yuta watched from his side of the table. 

“Dude you’re staring,” Jungwoo said shoving his elbow into Yuta’s side. Yuta roughly swallowed before turning his gaze to Jungwoo. He was staring he realized. His hands flew to his water quickly opening the cap before chugging half of it. Why was he staring at you? He had no clue who you were, today was the first time he’d seen you ever and he couldn’t seem to keep his eyes off you. 

“Who is she?” Yuta asked Jungwoo. 

“Y/N. Doyoung’s girlfriend.” Jungwoo answered through a mouthful of food. Yuta scowled at the first year as food flew out of his mouth. 

“How long have then been dating, how come I haven’t seen her before?” Yuta asked. 

“They’ve been dating for about six months, she transferred here this semester.” Yuta nodded, it made sense why he’d never seen you before, the semester had only started three weeks ago and lately, he was so in his head that he missed everything. 

“So, you guys still throwing that party at your house today?” Johnny asked Jaehyun, the latter nodded his head shoving food into his mouth. 

Doyoung answered for him, “Yeah we are, come help set up please?” Yuta took the opportunity to watch you as you tapped away at your phone. 

“Sure, Yuta and I will come by at seven.” Yuta snapped his head to Johnny who was avoiding looking at him. 

“Yeah, we’ll be there.” He said, going along with what Johnny had said. 

Johnny dragged him out of his room at six-thirty throwing the keys at him as they got to his car. 

“Your gonna DD today my dude.” Yuta stared at the keys in his hand then up at Johnny’s car. 

“With your baby?” He asked shocked. Johnny didn’t let anyone else touch his car. 

Johnny sighed but nodded. 

“Yes, I trust you.” Excited Yuta rounded the car and got into the driver’s seat of the black Mustang, it could seat five uncomfortably and only had two doors and was ass to dd in but damn if Yuta passed up the offer to drive the magnificent beast that was Johnny’s car. Shifting the gear as Johnny fastened his seat belt Yuta ripped out of the drive, the engine letting out a roar as he bolted down the street towards the younger boy's rented house. 

Yuta knew why Johnny was letting him dd with his car. He didn’t want him to drink, turning left down the boy’s street Yuta laughed letting his foot push the accelerator as he went faster, but the thing was Yuta hadn’t drank for months now. Not since that night. Typically, he just grabbed a beer and lugged it around not taking a sip everyone around him was usually drunk enough to even notice that he wasn’t. 

Pulling into the driveway he placed the car in park, “That was fucking awesome.” He smiled over at Johnny who laughed back at him. 

“Have fun, today buddy, just don’t get pulled over,” Johnny replied as he got out of the car. Yuta sat in the car for a second longer talking in the smell of the mustang before he got out himself and followed Johnny into the house. 

Johnny didn’t knock he just barged in, so Yuta followed him. Yuta regretted it the moment he saw the scene in the living room, his eyes landing on your bare back as Doyoung trailed his hand up to your head. Doyoung kissing the life out of you on the living room couch. 

“Holy, you guys don’t have a room?” Johnny asked a loud laugh following his words. Doyoung abruptly pulled away from you as you dug your head into his neck. Doyoung scrambled to grab the blanket beside him to cover you. Yuta turned his eyes away, the laughter not coming to him. He forced a smile to his face and kept his face turned away from Doyoung and you. 

“You guys are early,” Doyoung stated pulling you into him. Johnny only laughed in turn. 

“We’ll wait in the kitchen then.” 

Yuta followed behind Johnny to the kitchen his head muddled. He was confused and irritated, why was he so affected by you hell he literally saw you for the first time this morning and he knew you were Doyoung’s girlfriend so why was he pissed. He hadn’t even spoken to you himself.

He felt crazy, crazier than usual. He didn’t need this as well, not on top of his daily dose of unstable. He didn’t need to be pining after his teammate’s girlfriend. Shaking his head Yuta ignored the fact that you were on the other side of the wall with no top on. 

He didn’t even look at you when you rounded into the kitchen fully clothed in Doyoung’s hoodie again. He didn’t look at you as everyone started setting up the party. Didn’t even glance at your face when you handed him a knife to cut open a huge box of beer. He didn’t look at you when you said bye so you could head to the dorm to change, but he had to look at you when you bound back in through a front door and took off your winter coat to reveal a black dress that fell to your midthigh it was a turtleneck dress; simple but it looked amazing on you. You wore a lot of turtlenecks Yuta noticed; a sneer adorned his face once he realized why. 

He didn’t comment just turned away from you as Doyoung slammed through the front door carrying a huge bag of ice. 

“Let’s get this shit started!” Jaehyun said as he bound down the stairs a huge smile on his face. He flashed Johnny a joint before moving towards the back door. Johnny followed out after him. Yuta’s phone went off in his pocket, he let out a large sigh as he read the text on his screen. 

Taeyong: Could you pick us up from our house? 

Sighing again as he typed back a ‘yup’ he dragged his face towards the front door. 

“Hey, where are you going?” His hand froze at the front door, your voice floating towards him. Slowly he turned back to face you, you were looking at him with your head tilted to the side. You’d put on a darker shade of lipstick and had rimmed our eyes with black winged eyeliner. All of it was making Yuta feel some type of way as he looked at you. 

He cleared his throat and pointed towards the driveway. 

“Got to pick up my roommate and his girlfriend, I’ll be back.” You smiled at him and nodded. 

“Okay see you later then.” Your smile was stuck in his head as he took the mustang back towards his house. His mind was reeling with you, and he was beyond confused. He pulled into the driveway and parked pulling out his phone and texting Taeyong to come out. 

As he waited, he realized that he was losing his shit. He hadn’t hooked up with a girl since the summer, not since her. He hadn’t even looked at a girl with remote interest since then actually, so he was beyond confused by his reaction to you. He couldn’t wrap his head around what was happening inside him, he just felt unhinged. Why were you in his head? 

Taeyong and came out of the house holding his girlfriend’s hand tightly, Yuta frowned your face leaving his mind quickly. He didn’t say anything as Taeyong pulled up the door and moved the seat forward getting into the back himself. Yuta didn’t look at the girl that slipped into the passenger seat, he just nodded at her when she greeted him.

His hands clenched the steering wheel tightly as he made his way back to the other house. His eyes were glued to the road. The car was filled with suffocating air, maybe he was the only one who felt it. He didn’t want to look at the others faces to see if they felt it too.

Pulling up to the house he quickly put the car in park and ran into the house, letting the two of them get out at their own pace. He could lock the car from inside. The boys in the house were getting loud as Johnny and Jaehyun came back inside with clouded eyes. Drinks were started to move around as games began to be played and more people filed into the house. Loud music poured from every corner of the house as Johnny began to play his party playlist. Yuta sighed, as realization dawned on him today, he couldn’t leave whenever he pleased. He was stuck here in this house until every last one of the people were out. 

Yuta moved around the house before the air became too stuffy for him and he decided that sitting outside on the porch would be the best bet. He only sat for a couple of minutes before you barrelled out the house, your face red and angry and you were drunk he could tell from the way you stumbled down the stairs, Yuta moved to get up and help you down but before he could even get up from his chosen spot on the railing Doyoung came flying out the door. His face was just as red and angry, just as drunk. 

“You’re gonna walk away from me?” He asked. You threw your hand up in the air waving him off as another drunk boy came out of the house behind the two of you. Nobody noticing Yuta as he sat and watched. 

“I’m done with this conversation Doyoung, I’m going to my dorm find me when you're done being a prick.” You were staggering down the driveway. The other boy less drunk than you two but still evidently struggling to walk properly pushed past Doyoung and followed you. 

“I’ll drive you back.” He exclaimed. You paused in your spot and turned around looking at him. 

“Didn’t you drink?” yes, he did. Yuta was standing up straight as he waited for the boy to answer. 

“No.” He lied. Yuta clenched his teeth and went to stand next to Doyoung. 

“I’ll drive her home.” He told Doyoung. Doyoung only rolled his eyes and shrugged at Yuta. 

“Let her do whatever she wants. I don’t care.” 

Yuta sighed and made his way to you quickly. He grabbed your wrist as you made your way towards a red Camry. 

“You’re not going with him.” You whipped around and faced him. The anger back on your face and it didn’t soften when you looked at him. 

“And you are?” You asked your head tilting to the side. Yuta laughed and pulled you towards him. 

“Go back in the party dude you’re not driving anywhere today. Give me your keys.” The boy scowled at Yuta. Yuta raised his eyebrow at him feeling like he was talking to a toddler. “Your drunk kid, give me your keys.” He held out his hand to the boy, the boy stumbled back slightly grumbling but gave the key over to Yuta before stomping back into the house. 

You stared after the boy as he disappeared back into the house. 

“He’s drunk? Men are scum.” You grumbled and turned away pulling your wrist out of Yuta’s hand. 

“I’ll drive you home,” Yuta repeated motioning to the car. You just nodded and made your way to the car pulling the door open as Yuta unlocked the door. 

“So, dorms, right?” Yuta asked once he was on the road. You nodded again staring at the stereo system. 

“You know Doyoung right?” You asked, Yuta laughed at how drunk you were. 

“Yes, I do, we play hockey together.” 

“Well, he’s stupid. Did you know that?” Yuta wasn’t able to reply before you started talking again. “He told me that I’m so forward. Like wanting to kiss him is a crime. He was so embarrassed by earlier today. Tried to kiss his cheek in the kitchen and he told me to calm down.” You hiccup once, finally taking a breath. Your face was red from the annoyance and anger you felt towards your boyfriend. 

“Would you let your girlfriend kiss you in public?” You asked turning your head to Yuta. 

Yuta’s hands tightened around the steering wheel. 

“Probably.” 

“So, my boyfriend is just a prude.” Yuta laughed. You leaned forward in your seat and turned the music louder, then turned to stare out the window. 

You were drunk, he told himself. You’d be over this fight with Doyoung by tomorrow. 

Yuta didn’t see you again until Monday when all the boys had piled into his house to watch movies. Yuta hadn’t slept again the previous night and he was hanging on by a thread, he decided to forgo the movies and tried to sleep. 

---

Loud pained grunts flowed out of his room. You didn’t know why your feet had taken you to this door. You didn’t even know whose door it was you’d just come upstairs to go to the bathroom. You flinched when a loud thud came from the other side of the door followed by a curse. Not knowing what came over you, just the words open the door repeating in your head you slightly pushed the door open. 

Yuta was on the ground by his nightstand hunched over a broken lamp. He was bleeding, his eyes frantic and his breathing erratic. 

“Yuta.” You said softly, but he didn’t hear you. 

“I didn’t know.” He muttered quietly; you didn’t know what he was talking about. Slowly you took a step into the room moving closer to him. “I didn’t know.” He repeated as he roughly ripped out the broken piece of glass from his hand making more blood gush out. 

“Oh my god, don’t do that!” You were on the floor beside him in a second taking his hurt hand into yours. He was shocked when you grabbed him. His eyes widening, his breathing became worse as he pulled his hand away from you. He wiped the blood onto his black sweats while he took in loud pained breaths. 

“I -I can’t breathe.” His face was flushed and sweaty. He was looking everywhere but at you.  

“O-okay okay, breathe with me.” You said, breathing in slowly and out slowly. After doing that a couple of times Yuta began to mirror your breathing, his eyes finally latching onto yours. You realized how tired he looked. Like he hadn’t slept properly in days. You helped him until he calmed down until his breathing was normal. 

“Y/N, Doyoung is looking for you. Plus, I need the bathroom.” Taeyong’s voice carried into the room from the hallway. Followed by a knock on the bathroom door. You looked up at Yuta his eyes glazed over again as he stared at the wall. 

“Yuta.” You said his name softly, “Look at me. We need to clean your hand.” 

“I got blood on you.” He said. His eyes glassing over with unshed tears. 

“It’s okay. Come on let me help you.” 

“Y/N?” Taeyong called for you again. 

“In here.” You replied loud enough for him to hear you. Seconds later Taeyong was in the room. 

“Fuck what happened?” He asked coming to your side quickly. 

“I found him like this.” You replied to him quietly. 

“I got blood on her,” Yuta said again. 

“Yuta?” Taeyong said putting his hand onto his shoulder moving past you so that he was directly in front of Yuta. “It's okay man, it's okay.” 

Yuta’s head slowly moved towards Taeyong’s and he nodded. 

For the rest of the week, you couldn’t get him out of your head. You didn’t see him at the table you all ate lunch at, or anywhere on campus. You asked Taeyong if he was okay, he’d only told you not to worry about him before moving past you and going to his class. But you couldn’t get his eyes out of your head, the tormented look on his face had your brain in a frenzy. 

You hadn’t told Doyoung about what you had seen, deeming it not your business to spread, but as you got into your bed sliding in next to Doyoung you couldn’t help but ask. 

“Have you seen Yuta lately?” 

“Yuta? Yeah, why?” 

“I just haven’t seen him for a while I was just wondering.” 

---

That Friday you were laying on Doyoung’s couch in a pair of tight jeans and a crop top, ready to drink and have fun at the small ‘gathering’ as the boy were calling it. You tapped away at your phone, your mind drifting off to Yuta again. You’d tried very hard to listen to Taeyong especially after Doyoung told you that Yuta was around just not around you. You understood that maybe he was embarrassed but for some reason, it bothered you. Especially since there was nothing to be embarrassed about if he was embarrassed. 

The door opened loudly snapping you away from your phone Johnny strolled in laughing with Jaehyun. Yuta trailed after them, your eyes narrowed in on his lowered head as he dragged his feet into the living room. When he looked up his eyes caught yours his skin wasn’t as pale as the last time you saw him, but the dark circles, the tired expression it was all still there. 

You sat up on the couch smiling at Jaehyun and Johnny as they passed you and went into the kitchen. Yuta remained having moved towards the wall he leaned his shoulder onto it, his hands shoved into his pockets. 

“Thank you for that day.” He said, his gaze had moved to the floor letting his hair fall over his eyes as he spoke to you. 

“You don’t need to thank me.” You got up and only hesitated for a second before walking over to him. “Are you feeling better today?”

He only shrugged in response. 

“Were you avoiding me this week?” Your voice was soft as you asked the question. He turned his head away from you. 

“Wouldn’t you?” he asked, “We barely know each other, and you saw me like that.” 

“You don’t have to be embarrassed. I’m sure you would’ve done the same with me. Heck, you kind of did when you drove me home after last week’s party.” Yuta still wasn’t looking at you and you really wanted him to. You held your breath as he pushed off the wall and walked towards you. 

“Yeah, well don’t worry about it anymore.” He walked past you and into the kitchen, you watched his back as he rounded the corner. 

For some reason you felt dejected, you couldn’t explain why but that was not what you wanted to hear from him. Somehow Yuta was under your skin and you couldn't help but want to be around him. He looked so broken when you saw him on the floor, you couldn’t just not worry. You couldn’t not think about him. 

“Hey babe,” Doyoung said wrapping his arm around you before nuzzling his head into your neck. “What are you thinking about?” 

“Nothing. Just zoned out.” You said turning your face towards the boy. Your mind was in the kitchen though, following Yuta as he stood silently with the others listening to their laughter. 

As the night went on more people showed up, but it was small only close friends of the team, girlfriends, and obviously the team itself. You found yourself watching Yuta throughout the night. Your eyes constantly finding him, he was withdrawn from the group he’d laugh when appropriate, but you could tell he didn’t know why he was laughing. 

After a couple of hours, you watched him walk out the front door, you watched from inside as he sat on the porch alone staring out at the night sky. Looking around you, you got up. Doyoung was emersed in a game of beer pong with Jaehyun, Jungwoo and Kun. 

You pushed the front door open yourself and stepped out onto the porch. Yuta was sitting on the railing; you knew he saw you come out his head had tilted towards you but he’d quickly looked away. 

“The night sky is pretty.” You said coming up to lean onto the railing next to his. He didn’t reply, your gaze fell from the sky to his face. He was clenching his jaw; from your spot, you could see it flex as he ignored you. “You can’t just ignore me.” 

“Can’t I?” Yuta asked in turn, his words cold. “I don’t need your pity.” You froze at his words. You didn’t pity him, you were concerned. You didn’t feel bad that he was going through something, everyone did at some point. You just wanted to, for some reason, be there for him. 

“I don’t pity you.” You replied. Yuta jumped off the railing and in a second had you caged in between his arms as he leaned into you. Your back pressed against the wooden fence. 

“Don’t you?” He asked his breath fanning your face, “I see the way you look at me. I’m not something to be fixed.” You harshly swallowed, you’d never been this close to Yuta. Heck, this was your second real conversation with him, if it could even be called that. 

His eyes darkened as you leaned away from him. 

“Leave it alone, Y/N.” He pushed off the railing and began to walk away from you, but like it had a mind of its own your hand reached out and grabbed the back of his shirt. 

“I don’t want to fix you. I just want to…” You trailed off. Be there for you. But it felt weird to say because why did you want that, you two barely even knew each other. Yuta looked at you angling his body towards you again. His eyes softened as he saw the expression on your face, your face was open, your eyes telling him the words you couldn’t say. 

“Let’s go inside.” 

You followed him into the warm house, Ten and Kun were yelling at each other as they played a game on the PlayStation, you followed Yuta past them and into the kitchen where he grabbed a bottle of water. 

“You’re not drinking?” You asked. He shook his head in reply. 

“Nope, not today.” 

“You didn’t last week either.” He just shrugged and took the cap off the bottle before chugging it. 

You watched his adam's apple as he swallowed, his throat becoming more exposed as he tilted his head back and drank the water. 

“Don’t look at me like that,” He said turning his face away from you. You snapped out of your daze and narrowed your eyes at the side of his head. “You have a boyfriend.” You furrowed your eyebrows as he looked at you. His own eyes dark, you opened your mouth to say something, but nothing came out. 

You didn’t see him the next day and your brain tumbled into a spiral of questions, the biggest one; was he avoiding you again? The entire day he was on your brain and you didn’t know what to make of it, he confused you the way he made you feel. You made your way up the steps to Doyoung’s house, your boyfriend following behind you. 

“Y/N are you okay? What are you thinking about?” He asked stopping you before you went into the house. “You’ve been off all day.” 

You looked up at his concerned face and you didn’t know what to say. Your brain was riddled with Yuta, taking in Doyoung’s face a sense of guilt punched you in the chest. You couldn’t understand what was happening but as you stood on the porch in front of your boyfriend the only person you could think of was Yuta. You shook your head softly muttering nothing as you turned away from him and opened the door walking into his house. 

You stopped in your steps; Yuta was sitting on the couch laughing with Jaehyun. Both the boys turned to you as you stared at Yuta. 

“Hey,” He said, you nodded back to him and waved to Jaehyun before going to the kitchen. For some reason, your heart was beating in your chest erratically. Doyoung followed behind you as you pulled open the fridge and grabbed a water bottle. 

“Y/N.” His voice was soft. “Are you sure you don’t want to talk about what’s bothering you?” 

You only nodded, you couldn’t talk to him about this, you didn’t understand this yourself. 

“I’m going to take a nap in your room is that okay?” you asked. He nodded and you left the kitchen and quickly passed through the living room not looking at the boys on the couch and bound up the stairs to your boyfriend’s room. 

The room was dark when you threw open his door, and you left it that way as you moved towards his bed to lay down. The room smelled of him, you were surrounded by the scent that you use to crave when you needed comfort, but today it wasn’t comforting you. Your brain kept on flashing to the way Yuta had looked at you in the kitchen yesterday, the way his eyes were filled with an emotion you couldn’t handle. And emotion directed at you. Doyoung didn’t even look at you like that. Guilt radiated through your body; it wasn’t like you cheated on him so why did you feel like you did?

A small knock pulled you from your thoughts. 

“Yeah?” You answered, assuming it was Doyoung. The door slowly opened, and Yuta moved into the room. You abruptly sat up, moving back on the bed for some reason trying to create a distance between the two of you. He closed the door behind him and didn’t notice your abrupt reaction. 

“Are you okay?” He asked. You fiddled your fingers as he moved closer to the bed, his presence taking up the room, you swallowed as he sat down. Your body going into overdrive as he looked at you. This is insane, your brain screamed as your heart pounded in your chest. 

“I met you only a couple of weeks ago.” You said, Yuta’s eyebrows furrowed as he looked at you, confusion clouding his eyes. 

“Yeah, I kn-”

“And I’m dating Doyoung.” You clenched the sheets at your side, your hands fisting into them as you looked away from Yuta. 

“Yeah, you ar-”

“I also don’t know anything about you.” Your blood was rushing in your head as your thoughts scattered, he was so close to you, he was at the foot of the bed, but you felt like he was too close to you. “Why do I want to kiss you this bad.” 

---

Yuta froze, that was the last thing he expected you to say. He came after you because you looked awful, upset, and he felt like he owed it to you to check on you because yesterday you showed that you cared enough to check on him. He thought you were moving towards a form of friendship, he was hesitant at first but accepted it, he even reasoned out that whatever small puppy crush he had on you would dissipate if he could treat you as a friend. 

Your words were echoing around his head, and his hand itched to pull you to him, but he couldn’t. He got up from the bed and didn’t reply to you. He couldn’t, if he opened his mouth he would say the wrong thing. He couldn’t do that to Doyoung, he couldn’t do that to you. 

You looked so small on the bed, your knees were pulled up to your chest, and your eyes closed. Yuta’s breathing shallowed as Ara’s face flashed into his head, the bloody body that he never actually saw but somehow haunted his mind switched places with you as he backed up towards the door. 

He couldn’t do this. Quickly turning he stormed out the room, down the stairs and out the front door. He ignored the calling of his friends as he got into his car and drove home. His hands were trembling on the steering wheel as he drove the short distance back to his house. He felt like he was going to puke, his heart was beating loudly against his ribs his head was spinning. 

Too many emotions coursed through him as he pulled the car onto his driveway threw it into park, clambering out of his car he ran towards his house door. Wiping the sweat that was gathering onto his palms he opened the front door and came face to face with Taeyong’s girlfriend. 

“Yuta?” She asked her eyes showing him that concern that he didn’t want again. Is head only spun more from seeing her, Ara flashed in his head again, a smiling girl standing next to the woman in front of him, Ara laughing with her best friend. He felt like he couldn’t breathe again, his back hitting the wall next to his front door. She called his name again but he barely heard her and his hand flew to his throat. 

“I can’t,” He muttered letting himself fall to the ground, she followed him. 

“Breathe with me.” She said, Yuta shook his head, his mind unhinging as he pushed her hands away from him. 

“Stop. I killed her okay!” He was frantic as he pushed her away from him, “I don’t need your concern or your pity. I killed your best friend.” She was looking at him with wide eyes, she shook her head softly. 

“No you didn’t Yuta, that wasn’t any of our faults. That wasn’t your fault.” Her tone was soft, and he could tell that she wanted to move closer to him again as her hand heisted in the air. Yuta only chuckled as he pressed his back into the wall. His breathing still not in his control 

He was losing it. He needed her to understand. He needed her to go away from him. 

“You don’t know anything. I fucked her over, I killed.” 

“Yuta yo-”

“I knew she liked me. Do you think I didn’t know how much she liked me? I took advantage of it, I was good at doing that with other girls too. I fucked her, left her in my bed and went to make out with another chick. She found me like that, rightfully got mad and asked me to take her home, but I was drunk. So, I asked a friend of mine, he drove her and they both died. He told me he wasn’t drunk, but I should’ve known. I should’ve known!” 

Her face wasn’t shocked at the words that poured out of Yuta’s mouth, she was still looking at him softly. 

“You made bad decisions Yuta, but you didn’t kill her.” 

He shook his head, only realizing now that his cheeks were wet from tears, he didn’t realize he'd shed.  

“Why aren’t you mad? You should hate me.” She only sighed and carefully moved closer to him. 

“She was grown, she could’ve also checked if he was drunk. He could’ve said that he couldn’t drive because he was drunk. You didn’t kill her.” She was kneeling in front of him, her hands hesitated but he didn’t push away so she pulled him by his shoulder into her. She held him tightly until his breathing calmed down. 

---

He was ignoring you again, you understood why this time. You were embarrassed, the last words you said to him rattling around your brain as you sat across from Doyoung in the library. You couldn’t look at him, you’d been ignoring him for the past week as well. Feeding him lies and excuses about how busy you were. In reality, you’d buried yourself under your covers and sulked. Your brain was a mess.

You couldn’t ignore him anymore though, so here you were sitting across from him at a small table not meeting his eyes as you tried to work on neglected schoolwork. 

“Babe, are you coming over today? The boys are coming over again and we’re just gonna drink and hang out,” Doyoung asked putting his pen down and stretching as he asked. 

You said yes without thinking, your brain not having heard what he asked. When your brain processed you panicked, Yuta would be there. 

----

You were drunk out of your mind by the time Yuta and the others came to the house. Jaehyun was next to you cursing as he played Mario Kart, giggles leaving you as you watched. You were sticking to Jaehyun and Ten today, that way you didn’t need to worry about being alone with Doyoung or wandering off to Yuta. You were worried about what you would do if left to yourself, which made you feel like shit because Doyoung didn’t deserve that. 

So here you were drunk out of your mind, sitting next to your boyfriend’s teammates giggling mindlessly feeling like shit because you wanted to kiss a man that wasn’t your boyfriend, oh yeah and he ran away from you when you told him that. 

You laughed out loud. 

You managed to succeed with your ignoring them plan for most of the night until you had to go to the bathroom. Stumbling your way up the stairs you gripped the railing digging your fingers into the grooves to help your balance. 

You made it up the stairs without falling and took a break at the top your drunk body exhausted from the trip. 

“You're really drunk today.” Your head snapped to Yuta, he was leaning on the wall in front of you. You quickly looked away from him, your heart already doing fuck shit in your chest from being near him. 

“Don’t judge me, you sober saint.” You retorted. 

“I’m not sober, I was convinced into doing some shots.” Your eyes wandered back to his face, you cursed when you saw his smirk, his eyes laughing at you. 

You didn’t reply just straightened out and made to walk by him, but you stopped in front of him a random bought of anger slamming into you, who did he think he was? Why was he toying with you? Why did he make you feel this way? Why did you still want to kiss him?

“Don’t laugh at me!” You snapped at him, his eyes widened when you looked at him. “You ran away from me.” 

“You have a boyfriend.” He replied. Before you could think anything, your hands were on his shirt pulling him into you, your lips slamming into him. He only hesitated for a second before his hands were gripping at you, turning you both around and pushing you into the wall. Your drunk mind was swimming, you knew this was wrong, but you couldn’t stop, your hands moved into his hair as he deepened the kiss, his tongue brushing against your lower lip you moaned softly and opened your mouth letting his tongue into your mouth, another moan leaving you as his tongue brushed against yours. 

“Wait fuck,” He abruptly pulled away from you. You looked up at him, eyes wide as you realized what you had just done. Yet you didn’t move away from him, he wasn’t looking at you, his eyes were pressed shut. 

“The last girl I hooked up with died. I’m fucked up in so many ways that I can’t count. I’m trying to the right thing here but fuck it’s so hard.” His hand on your shoulder tightened. He opened his eyes and looked down at you, his breath fanning your face, you stared at his swollen lips. Somewhere in your mind, you thought about how wrong what you were about to do was, but in the moment your brain couldn’t think properly. 

You didn’t reply to what he just said, and you didn’t move away from him you stood in his grasp until he lowered his mouth to yours again. 

“I’m not a good person.” He said quietly just before he pressed his lips against yours again. You stumbled as he pulled you with him, not taking his lips off of yours. Your hands fisted into the front of his shirt holding onto him tightly as he led you into a room. You only stumbled slightly as he pulled you onto the bed. Your lips leaving his as he let you fall. 

You stared up at him your breathing shallow as you mirrored his. His eyes were dark and filled with lust mirroring your own. You bit your lip as you waited for him, he closed his eyes taking in large breaths. You watched. When he opened them again any conflict in them was gone, you were beyond rational thought. 

Taking his shirt off he tossed it to the side before climbing onto the bed and hovering over you. His lips returned to yours in a fast kiss, one that stole your breath away again. From there everything moved fast, everything was done in a hot haze as your shirt joined his on the ground then your pants and underwear followed by the rest of his clothes his mouth leaving yours and kissing down your body. You were so wound up that you couldn’t take the teasing, fisting his hair you pulled him back up to your face. 

“Please, now.” You breathed before kissing him roughly. You were a moaning mess underneath him as he thrust into you, your walls clenching around him. He grunted as he moved, his hands gripping your hips, his fingers digging into your skin. Your hands were on his arms tightly holding on as he fucked into you. Taking one hand from your hip he rubbed fast circles on your clit as you came close to your climax. 

You came, his name flowing out of your mouth before he slammed his lips back onto yours keeping you from saying anything else, keeping you quiet. His hips continued to thrust into you, his lips never left yours, until he finished himself. 

---

You couldn’t look at Doyoung, you couldn’t speak to Doyoung, your heart would break every time he texted you. You were awful and you knew it yourself he didn’t deserve what you had done, but as guilty as you felt for knowing how much it would hurt Doyoung your mind couldn’t accept the fact that it was wrong. It was wrong, but the way it made you feel couldn’t be wrong. Your head was hurting from all the arguments you had in your mind. 

You were locked in your dorm, you had been for the past three days. Doyoung was calling and texting you non-stop, but you couldn’t reply. You heard nothing from Yuta, and you couldn’t help but let that fact hurt you. Your phone rang again, you knew who it was before you even looked at the screen. Sighing you grabbed it, you had to answer. 

“Hey,” His voice was cautious. 

“Hello.” You replied, your hands fisting into your blanket. 

“Are you okay? Why aren’t you answering me.” He didn’t sound angry, he sounded concerned. Your eyes filled with tears, you knew you didn’t deserve that, you deserved to be yelled at for ignoring him at the least. You couldn’t reply you knew that if you opened your mouth, you’d tell him what you did, but didn’t he deserve to know. 

“Y/-”

“I cheated on you.” And you hung up. 

You were a coward you couldn’t listen to whatever he had to say after that, you couldn’t take the yelling that you deserved, you didn’t even deserve to cry. Wiping angrily at the tears that streamed down your face you broke down, sobbing into your pillow. You felt like shit for what you did to him, you felt like shit because Yuta was ignoring you as much as you were ignoring him. 

You didn’t understand Yuta, the last thing he said before you slept with him. Telling you about his last hook-up didn’t even register until you woke up the next day in your dorm alone. The heavy words rattling around in your head. You could put enough together to know that he was fucked up about it, you felt worse when you realized that you added onto his self-image of being a bad person. 

Curling up into yourself you couldn’t stop crying. An hour passed and there was a loud banging on your door. 

“Open the door Y/N,” Doyoung said through the door, his voice loud and angry. You rolled onto your back in bed. You’d expected this from the moment you hung up, but you couldn’t get off the bed, you listened to the pounding on the door, you listened to his angry words turn to begging and you cried again. You cowered away from him, from the world, because how could you face it?

Everyone was in his house, every guy on his team was crawling around. When the hockey season was airing this was a normal occurrence for everyone to pile into a house and watch together, but this time Yuta dreaded the full house especially since he was ignoring so many people this time. 

Taeyong’s girlfriend, still, not because he felt awful when he looked at her which he still did but less so but now also out of embarrassment, he’d cried in front of her and that made it hard for him to look at her. 

He was also ignoring Johnny for the past three days because after he fucked up and fucked you, he ran to Johnny and told him what he did. Johnny was mad but then felt sympathy after Yuta explained that he liked you, but he couldn’t look at Johnny now either not after he’d sobered up and realized how pathetic he sounded trying to explain that he liked his teammates girlfriend a lot even though he’d known her all of five seconds and didn’t know jack shit about her it was just an inexplicable feeling. Johnny had tried to talk to him twice since then, but he’d ran away. 

Doyoung too, but that was obvious, he couldn’t face his friend and teammate, practice this morning had been awful, Doyoung was complaining about Y/N going M.I.A. on him. He looked so distressed Yuta felt shitty. 

He climbed down the stairs slowly, staring at his phone as he went down, he didn’t want to make any eye contact. He didn’t want anyone to speak to him, but he couldn’t hide in his room that would only draw everyone to him and then everyone would be looking at him. 

Yet he couldn’t stop his head from snapping up as the front door slammed into the wall and Doyoung stumbled in. His eyes were red, and he looked drunk. 

“Well,” he said loudly looking directly at Yuta, “I am a fucking loser. I’m pathetic and I’m a loser.” Yuta flinched with every word that spilled out of the younger boy’s mouth. Taeyong was instantly at the door as Doyoung struggled with his shoes. 

“What are you talking about?” Taeyong asked him as Johnny also filtered into the entryway, taking a spot on the last step on the stairs. 

“She cheated on me,” Doyoung replied and then shrugged, “she won’t even tell me who. She actually won’t even let me into her room.” Johnny glanced up at Yuta, but Yuta kept his eyes on Doyoung. He watched the younger boy hold on to Taeyong as his face twisted in anger. 

“I don’t understand,” he said his face going red. “I just want to know who it was.” 

Yuta’s hand moved to the railing as he bit his tongue, He could feel Johnny throwing glances at him as they all watched the boy break down. Yuta’s gut twisted with guilt as Doyoung stumbled over a pair of shoes and hit the wall. He watched as Doyoung began to cry and Taeyong tried to grab onto him. Yuta’s head was twisting into a tunnel of thoughts that he couldn’t control, all he knew was that he did that. 

“It was me.” The air in the room left as the words left this mouth, Taeyong’s head snapping up to him his large eyes widening before anger flashed in them. Yuta turned his gaze back to Doyoung he could barely breathe as under the three pairs of eyes on him. 

Doyoung was frozen staring at Yuta. Yuta could tell he was processing the words that had just left his mouth. Slowly Doyoung straightened up before he looked up and met Yuta’s gaze, Yuta could see the blatant hatred that had formed behind Doyoung eyes, but he didn’t look away. 

I deserve this. Yuta thought. 

Doyoung shook himself out of Taeyongs grasp and was up the stairs and in front of Yuta in a second. More boys had gathered into the small entryway. Yuta snapped his eyes shut as Doyoung grabbed him by the front of his shirt and slammed him into the wall. 

“You fucking douche bag!” His words were angry, his hand twitched at Yuta’s shirt but Yuta couldn’t look at him anymore. Doyoung was gonna hit him, Yuta could tell. He expected it. But it didn’t come. 

“Look at me!” Doyoung yelled shaking Yuta, slowly he opened his eyes. The boy's face was so red, his cheeks stained with tears, more tears flowed out of his eyes as his face broke. 

“Why?” Doyoung asked as he shook Yuta. 

Yuta’s heart ached; he didn’t know how to reply. What could he even say? I’m not a good person. Were the only words in his head. Doyoung repeated his question before completely breaking down, his head falling onto Yuta’s shoulders. 

“I looked up to you,” Doyoung muttered into Yuta’s shoulder. 

Yuta froze, his mind going numb. He couldn’t move as Doyoung cried onto him. The words on repeat in Yuta’s head only got louder, until they were screaming at him. Until he couldn’t see anything but the fucked up person he was in his head. He could never do anything right. 

“I have to leave,” Doyoung said lifting his head off Yuta, shoving him as he did so. 

“Why?” Taeyong asked, his voice cold. “Why should you leave? Yuta should.” 

Yuta couldn’t look at Taeyong, he knew what the expression on his face would be because he was looking at himself like that as well with pure hatred.

 I deserve it. 

Yuta didn’t disagree he would be the one to leave, but for a second he couldn’t move. No one did. 

“You’re right.” he finally said. He moved past Doyoung in a rush feeling the heated eyes of everyone on him as he bound down the stairs and shoved his feet into shoes before leaving out the door. He had to leave, he deserved to be alone, to be the one kicked out. He couldn’t do anything right. He was fucked up, he wasn’t a decent guy to girls, and he wasn’t a good friend. With each step that Yuta took away from the house, he realized that he was indeed a bad person. Because good people didn’t hurt the people they loved. 

And they definitely didn’t deserve to be loved themselves. 

A/N: Please look forward to part two, I will have it up as soon as I can. PLEASE let me know what you think!

First Man - Matthew Tkachuk

Ok y’all this one hit DIFFERENT- butlikeasoftgooddifferent

Part 1 & Part 2 of the TK/Tkachuk Mini series

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yes I'm gonna stay with him tonight

I'll see you in the mornin'

No of course, he won't drink and drive

Can you say bye to mom for me?

It has been a few months since you had broken up with TK and gotten the media Job in Calgary with the flames. You’re parents had even came up to stay with you for a while to make sure you were gonna be okay. To say they were worried was an understatement your dad was about to have a catastrophe when he heard the mess of yours and TK’s breakup, reiterating the words that he knew “Travis was nothing but trouble” from the beginning.

But then you met Matthew. At first you tried brushing him off telling yourself that you’d never date another hockey player after TK. But the rat somehow wormed his way into your heart. You’re sure that was all thanks to Johnny, Elias and Noah. Since they deemed themselves Matt’s wingmen and promised that if it didn’t work out you could all punch them in the face. So you decided to give Matthew a shot. It was no surprise he called his mom that same night gushing about how you had finally said yes to a date with him, he was nervous Chantel could tell. But had a gut feeling that you were gonna be the one for him after that phone call.

One date turned into a few Your father on the other hand was apprehensive about it all seeing how much TK had affected you. He stood watching as you slipped your jacket on seeing Matt pull up in the driveway. He went to open his mouth before you interrupted “yes dad I’m staying with him tonight, so I’ll see you in the morning. Maybe we can grab breakfast or something. I promise he won’t drink and drive can you say by to Mom for me?” You had rambled as you grabbed your purse kissing him on the cheek before quickly leaving smiling at Matt as he got out and opened your door for you.

Oh you'll like him, he's really kind

And he's funny like you sometimes

And I found someone I really like

Maybe for the first time

You swore up and down to your Dad that he would like Matthew and how he was super kind and funny like him. He was still warming up to the thought of you and Matthew, the NHL’s “shit starter” dating. He thought TK was as bad as it could get but boy was he wrong. Though, he promised to give Matthew a chance because he saw how much you really liked the kid. “I found someone I really like dad, maybe for the first time it just feels right you know?” You told him as you both sat on the couch watching the Flames game on tv unknowingly having a smile on your face that you couldn’t wipe off whenever Matthews face would cross the screen. Your mom sending your dad a knowing look with a small smile. She was the one who supported it fully from the start automatically having a mother’s intuition about the two of you.

No I don't need a jacket

It's not that cold tonight

And you worry, I get it

But he's waiting outside

Your dad watched as you were fluttering around the house looking for your shoes. He lifted up your jacket as if to ask if you’d need it. You shook your head no “it’s not that cold tonight, I know you worry but he’s outside I don’t wanna keep him waiting.” You said giving both him and your mom a hug before heading out to celebrate with Matt and a few of the guys for their sweep on their road trip. Your mom leaned against your dad watching the interaction between the two of you, seeing matt hug you and spin you around with a smile causing you to laugh. “I’m calling it now, this is gonna be a forever type of thing honey.” Your mom had said as she patted your dads chest begore heading to the kitchen with a smile.

I swear on my heart

That he's a good man

I know you'll stay up late

Just waiting for me

You held me so tight

Now someone else can

But you were the first man that really loved me

You swore on your heart that Matthew wasn’t the same person he was on the ice. He was raised a good man, Keith and Chantel made sure all their kids were. You knew your dad was up waiting for you to come home when you didn’t stay with Matthew he just wanted to make sure you got home safe. He had always held you so tight growing up scared of losing his little girl he was the first man that really loved you and he wasn’t sure he was ready for someone else to take that place.

Now you're driving to the airport

Not just me you pick up anymore

I've got eight days off coming up

And I can only come home for four

Your dad was on his way to the airport, they had since moved back home knowing that you were gonna be alright and that you were comfortable in Calgary. Though it wasn’t just you he was picking up anymore it was Matthew as well. He had grown to like the guy, seeing how well he treated you and how you could never wipe the smile off your face when he was around. He also saw the looks Matthew gave you when he didn’t think anybody was looking. It was nothing but utter love an devotion, he had a feeling if you asked Matthew would go to the ends of the earth for you. You only had 8 days off but could only stay for 4 seeing as you and Matthew had plans to go on a mini vacay after visiting your mom and dad.

Yeah I just met his family

They're just like you and mom

He makes me really happy

I think he might be the one, oh

You stood with your dad in the kitchen as your mom had dragged Matthew to the livingroom to show him the embarassing baby pictures of you since Chantel had graciously showed you all the ones of Matthew despite his pouting and whining at her not to. “I met his family, they’re just like you and mom you know?” You had blurted out as you chopped the vegetables. You saw your dad freeze and then relax and send you a smile and a nod “he makes me really happy dad, I think he might be the one” you had whispered setting the knife down looking at him to see his reaction, you wanted nothing but his approval you knew how long it took for him to warm up to Matty, but he just shook his head looking down at the pot of pasta. He wasn’t ready to lose you. Nor was he ready to admit that he knew Matthew was the one.

Now you're on the driveway

Faking a smile

You wish you could tell him he doesn't deserve me

So I had to stop the car and turn around

To tell you, you were the first man that really loved me

He stood in the driveway next to your mom with a fake smile watching as you and Matt finished loading up your bags and got in the car. He wished he could tell Matt he didn’t deserve you. But he couldn’t bring himself to hurt you like that. You looked in the mirror and saw your dads face before you placed your hand on Matts arm causing him to stop the car and look over at you. Seeing the look on your face he gave you a nod and a small smile as you unbuckled and got out of the car rushing over to give your dad a tight teary eyed hug. “I want you to know, you were the first man that really loved me.” You had said softly. He kissed the top of your head and nodded towards the car for you to go. He had accepted it that you and Matt were gonna make it to the end.

And before they open up the doors

I say I've never seen you cry before

You say "You've never looked so beautiful

You know you'll always be my little girl"

Matthew had flown up to Massachusetts to talk to your Dad in person about asking you to marry him. He knew your dad was never 100% about him but he wanted to show him that he was serious and he cared about you and respected you’re parents opinions.

Though to Matt’s surprise your dad took him down to the ocean to have a chat where he indeed gave Matthew his blessing and told him how much it meant that he had made the trip up there to ask him in person, the wedding would be a few months later since the off season was approaching.

And soon a few months later, you were standing in the church next to your father after everyone else of the wedding party had made their walk down. Right before they opened up the doors you looked over to your dad and saw he was crying causing you to tear up a bit and say with a small laugh “I’ve never seen you cry before” he smiled wiping your tears lightly “You’ve never looked so beautiful, you know you’ll always be my little girl.” You hugged him tightly before the music started up. Now it was time to head down to your forever.

You're looking at me, while walking down the aisle

With tears in your eyes, maybe he deserves me

You don't even know how much it means to me now

That you were the first man that really loved me, that really loved me

Your dad glanced at you every now and then every few seconds with tears in his eyes as he walked you down the isle, seeing the happy look on your face and seeing Matthew at the alter, who was in tears of his own. He knew then that he deserved you. You smiled at your dad kissing his check before he handed you off to Matthew. Your dad knew then that despite him being the first man that ever loved you, that Matthew would do an outstanding job at loving you just as much if not more than he has. He sat down next to your mom and held her hand with a smile watching the ceremony commence watching his little girl get married to the guy who would give her the stars if she asked.

It was no surprise at the reception that it wasn’t one big happy family, both your dad and Keith got along so well it was almost comical where as your mom and Chantel couldn’t stop gushing over you and Matthew and how beautiful the ceremony was. Taryn hugging you tightly and talking your ear off about finally having a big sister she could come to for help or hangout with. Brady couldn’t help but smile seeing his brother so smitten with you but he was happy, he saw how much good you brought out in Matthew. The day was filled with so many pictures, laughs, and happy tears. All documented on various people’s instagrams and a few posts from you and Matthew. Your phone had been with constant notifications but one stuck out more than others “Tkonecny11 liked your photo.” You looked over and heard that familiar laugh, to see Nolan who’d made a surprise appearance along with Carter, Rayanne and a few others that you had become friends with on the Flyers. He noticed you and smiled waving causing you to laugh and completely forget about your phone setting it down paying no more mind to the notification that had crossed your mind making your way over to hug your bestfriend finally happy that you guys had made up after the breakup with Travis. Matthew joining you shortly after finally getting to meet the famous trio (outside of the rink) that you always talked about.

Things couldn’t be better.

You really love me

“Class of ‘62″ Masterlist

MASTERLIST

-

The club reeked of sweat and alcohol, bass thumping through your’s and Bucky’s bodies. Couples littered the dance floor, bumping and grinding into each other without a care in the world, making you rather flustered.

“Buck, I don’t know about this… If Daddy finds out-”

“Daddy’s right here, baby” Bucky drawls out with a smirk, pulling you into him tighter.

“Ugh, god James! I’m serious!”

You hit him in the chest, pushing yourself away from him to clear your frazzled mind. He straightened up at the sound of his actual name, realizing how on edge you were.

“You told Daddy that you were taking us to the drive-in, and even then, he barely allowed that… When you told me you were takin’ me dancin’ instead, I didn’t think you meant this kinda dancin’...”

Mentioning the dancing, you glanced back at the couples and felt your cheeks burn at the intimacy of their movements.

You take a full step away from Bucky, now wrapping your arms around your waist. Recognizing this as your tick when feeling self-conscious or anxious, Bucky quickly grabs your wrists and places them around his neck, tilting your chin up to him.

Leaning in to ensure you could hear him over the loud music, Bucky whispers sweetly into your ear. “Baby, this is for you, if you don’t feel comfortable, we can split as easily as we came.”

Heart swelling at his constant care to your comfort and well being, you took a beat to think before shaking your head no.

“It’s fine, Buck, we can stay… but let’s just take it slow,” you say as you turn to look at a neighbouring couple gyrate into one another. “This is all very... foreign to me” you whispered, Bucky barely able to hear you.

Bucky smirked down at you, always so attracted by your innocence. That is what initially drew him into you... watching you quietly read plays in the library alone after school or walking home with your girlfriends as he flew by in his cream Thunder bird. Some people couldn’t believe it when they caught the shine of Bucky’s pin on your Academic Decathlon letterman cardigan. You made him better, making sure he was focusing on school and not getting into too much trouble. He, in return, ensured you weren’t just locking yourself in your room and studying your high school experience away.

Watching you watch the other patrons of the club grate and twirl, he noticed the red blossoming on the apples of your cheeks. His eyes darkened at this, knowing if that was an embrassed flush, you both would have been out of the club a long time ago… that blush meant something much different.

“You wanna dance like them, doll?”

Bucky brushed his lips against your ear, making a shiver run down your spine. The combination of watching the couples and now noticing how close you were to Bucky left you speechless, only letting out a little squeak before nodding your head.

Grabbing your hand, Bucky dragged you into the heap of couples until you were in the middle of the dance floor. The guitar strums of “Love is Strange” began to vibrate through the club as Bucky gave you a little distance to begin his dance lesson before you both began.

-

Love

Love is strange

Lot of people

Take it for a game

Pushing you down by your shoulders a few inches, Bucky copied your stance before beginning to thrust his hips in a circle. Instantly flushed by his vulgar movements, you turn away from the show Bucky was putting on only to be met witth other groping couples, feeling silly and inadequate for thinking you were capable of something as sensual as this. Bucky stopped, before pushing you down again, shouting over the music,

“Look at me baby, look at me.”

Keeping eye contact as he came a little closer, he began to swirl his hips again, now slightly brushing against you. Bucky wrapping both arms around your waist, creating your own little world for the two of you, no longer caring about the couples around you. Eyes never leaving his, you feel your own hips begin to move with a mind of their own, following Bucky’s movements smoothly, never breaking his gaze. Bucky drops one of his arms from your waist as he feels your grip tighten around his neck.

“That’s it baby…” He whispers into your ear, you emitting a pleasured sigh in response.

-

Once you get it

You never want to quit, no no

After you've had it

You're in an awful fix

You had never felt better in your entire life, shamelessly dancing against Bucky. You couldn’t believe how reluctant you were in the beginning of the night, never knowing you could feel this good against hum. Bucky dips you down slowly, pressing a kiss to the middle of your throat, feeling the vibration from your moan on his lips before bringing you back up with a snap of his hips, only causing you to moan again.

Bucky groaned, seeing how wrapped up you were in him and how much you were enjoying yourself.

“Look at you baby, dancin’ so good for me. Oh god, Y/N...”

Bucky moans, throwing his head when you rub him just the right way.

“Voltaire was so wrong” you moaned into Bucky’s ear, breaking him out of his trance.

“Huh?”

Continuing to dance against Bucky, you reply to the best of your ability.

“V-Voltaire, an enlightenment philosopher-shit,” you were interrupted as Bucky began to kiss down your neck, continously grinding into you. “He said that reading-fuck… and d-dancing were the only two amusements-mmmhmm… to not harm the world… and shit, Buck, you’re wrecking me”

-

Many people

Don't understand, no no

They think loving

Is money in the hand

“I never knew enlightenment philosophy could be sexy, but damn baby…” Bucky jokingly whispered into your ear before twirling you both around again. “Sorry… thank Mr. Stark for that quote” you giggled as Bucky scowled down at you. “God, don’t mention Mr.Stark right now, not when we’re like this” As he finished his sentence, he purposefully pulled you tighter into him, causing you to stifle a moan and a giggle.

-

Baby, oh baby

My sweet baby, you're the one

Baby, oh baby

My sweet baby, you're the one

As the song hit its climax, you and Bucky quietly sang the lyrics to each other, each repeated line bringing you both closer and closer together. Lips practically touching, you break the gap and kiss Bucky with all your might.

Bucky, a little stunned at your boldness, soon relaxes into the kiss, taking dominance as he swipes his tongue along your bottom lip. Moaning, he slips his tongue in and you feel like you’re on cloud nine. Stopping dancing, you put all your focus into the kiss as your arms, ever the more, tighten around Bucky’s neck.

Bucky is the first to pull away, spinning you into oblivion with your combined dizziness from the kiss and the now sudden movement.

When everything stops spinning, you realize that Bucky is no longer in sight, having slipped away after spinning you so unexpectedly. Simply turning a full circle to look for him, you suddenly get nervous to find him nowhere in your close vicinity. Pushing your way out of the dance floor, you feel the ebbing of panic begin to rise in your chest, still not seeing Bucky after emerging from the crowd.

Finding the devil waiting for you at the entrance of the club, you storm over to him before smacking him as hard as you could in the chest.

“Don’t you ever do that again, you hear me? You scared the hell out of me...”

“Jesus, doll, using the H-E-double hockey sticks on me now? I better watch out...”

You hit him again, much lighter this time, to Bucky’s relief.

“Alright, alright… Didn’t mean to scare ya darlin’, but we needed to make our exit... It’s almost 10:30”

Bucky said as he wrapped his arm around you, embracing you when the cold hits your face while exiting the club. You had almost forgotten about the curfew your father had given you, thankful Bucky had noticed the time before it got too late.

Driving you home just in the nick of time, you quickly rushed in one last kiss for the night before running up to your door. Bucky didn’t leave until he was sure you had made it in for the night safe and soundly.

Catching sight of your father watching through the window, Bucky smiled and waved cautiously only to receive a scowl from your father.

Your father was never a big fan of Bucky, upsetting Bucky to no end; poor Buck afraid that one day that distaste, so famous from your father, would lead to the end of your relationship.

You always made sure to comfort Bucky, ensuring him you’d never let your father have that much control in your life… making sure to include “girl power” and declarations that “misogyny can’t hope me down” in your argument. It still worried him, though.

Love is strange. It makes you worry about things that need no worry, dance in ways you’d never even imagine, and fall for a person that’s so utterly different from yourself.

So utterly different, but perfectly complimentary.

HOPE you LIKED it! REQUESTS ARE OPEN! HAVE A GOOD NIGHT!

Below the cut are 91 fics that feature Jonny and Patrick as creatures that lurk and prey (and snuggle) in the night. From wolfverses to fluffy animal transformations to love/sex magic. I've had such a great time re-reading all of these, as this pairing has been graced by so many amazing authors. Happy reading and happy Halloween!

★ are personal faves

Demons

a dainty dish to set before the king by mockturtletale ★ - demon!Kaner

But then the clocks strike midnight - clocks plural - and that’s weird as fuck, because the year is 2013 and Jonathan Toews doesn’t own any clocks that make that noise. He doesn’t own any clocks that make noise period.

Crossroad Blues by activevirtues- demon!Kaner

In which the demon Patrick Kane gives Jonathan Toews everything he's ever wanted.

Feathers by MJBadger - demon!Kaner, angel!Jonny

Not that Patrick has been snagging many souls or causing much in the way of mischief, lately. He supposes he should go out at some point and play a bit of catch-up. He assumes Jonny's been hanging out on park benches and saving jackasses left and right.

In which Jonny is an angel, and Patrick is a lazy demon.

Sweet and Tender Hooligan (or the post-apocalyptic au) by jezziejay - demon!Kaner

In which Kaner is a daemon of chaos, and Jonny is just trying to hold onto his city. Dystopian universe. Dark. Dark characterisation. A little TW, a litte GoT, and a little Patrick Ness. 

Together Burning Bright - demon!Jonny

Four times Jonny tried to eat Patrick's soul, and the one time he couldn't.

The Creek by mullsandmutts - demon!Kaner, angel!Jonny

Jonathan is a literal angel. Patrick is a literal demon (but with a sweet and kind heart -- it's complicated, okay?). They meet where their worlds are divided and existence might never be the same

Going West - not gonna spoil it but i love it

Jonathan finds the boy along the outskirts of a town market, chained to a post. There's a bronze armband clasped tightly on his forearm, winding around it like a snake, and he stares sullenly at the ground, heedless of Jonathan's gaze, while his toe traces patterns in the dust.

"I want him," Jonathan says to the vendor, pointing.

That's a lie.

Constant as a Northern Star - demon-hunter!Jonny, Pat is his safekeeper

The term "preux" was first used in the scripture that would become known as the Treaty of Avignon [signed in 1156, copies of the original - which was destroyed in the Siege of Harfleur in 1418 - are stored in Prague and Trondheim], marking not only the beginning of the working relationship between vampires and preux but also the use of a term to distinguish the preux from ordinary hunters.

(Or: Jonathan is a good fighter (it doesn't get more AU than this), Patrick waits for him,hates it and is a BAMF no matter the circumstances. Sharpy knows everything but doesn'tbetray anyone's secrets. He's a vampire, he has morals.)

Soulless by ice_hot_13 - demon!Jonny

Jonny used to have a soul.

Vampires

where the wild things are series by liketheroad - twilight AU

Seeing Johnny skate, Patrick realizes two things at the same time. One, Johnny is an incredibly gifted, terrifying hockey player, and two, Patrick is completely and irredeemably gay for him. Also, he’s definitely a vampire, but whatever, Patrick doesn’t really give a shit about that part. (Twilight AU)

Provenance by fourfreedoms ★ - vampire!Jonny  | sorta sequel here

“I uh, didn’t think it would be done so fast,” Patrick said when he arrived. Jonathan stared at him. “Done? You insult me. A good suit, at a lackluster slapdash minimum, needs three-fittings. You’ll be in here for four, I assure you.”

true blood chatfic by doctor_denmark - vampire!Jonny | not fic but still cute

So, sometimes hockey blogs say that Jonathan Toews's playoff fail-beard makes him look like a "victorian era vampire" (repeatedly), and when this happens, I start telling myself about the True Blood au, where Toews is the first vampire to play in the NHL, and Patrick Kane is the deeply closeted hockey player who falls in love with him. Then horrible enablers let me chat-fic at them for hours, and I end up with about 8,000 words, which is 9 times more than i managed on my thesis today.

I'm putting it here, because the world needs to witness my folly.

nature of the immortal being by Mayhem10 - vampire!Kaner

“Wait,” interrupts Jonathan, finally registering Patrick’s rant. “What exactly are you allergic to?”

Patrick waves dismissively. “You know, the usual.”

(In which Patrick is the worst vampire ever and Jonathan grows his own garlic.)

Sealed With A Kiss - (butt)vampire!Kaner

Five minutes after Coach Q explains to his new team that Patrick is indeed a supernatural creature of the night, he’s hustled into the corridor by his cute as hell new captain.

“An ass-eating vampire?” Jonathan asks.

“It’s not like I had a choice,” Patrick says, defensively.

bloodlust - vampire!Kaner 

One Time Patrick Kane Didn’t Drink From Jonathan Toews and Five Times He Did (also known as Vampire Kaner)

so say, what are you waiting for? by nuuclears - vamp!Jonny

“But are you even into this?” Patrick asks, biting his lip at how vulnerable it comes out.

Jonny straightens up fully and stares at him, hands full of gatorade bottles forgotten at his sides. “Kaner, it’s blood,” Jonny tells him incredulously, and ok, a valid point, Patrick does have some idea of how vampires get about blood, but still. It’s not like they’re just drinking from everyone either.

“And,” Jonny says, and blows out a harsh breath of air that he doesn’t even need. “And it’s you,” he admits, like it costs him something.

vampire!kaner AU by allthebros

He comes back to himself with Jonny’s blood in his mouth.

Werewolves 

All Practise and No Play by james - were!Kaner

Sometimes Tazer thinks it's like herding puppies. Actually, no, he thinks that all the time.

by the throat by liketheroad

The one where they're werewolves growing up in Manitoba.

Catalyst - were!Jonny

Full moon’s coming.

It’s about a week out, but even if they didn’t all keep a careful calendar of it, Patrick would know it just by looking at Johnny. Patrick’s known a few werewolves before, some distant family, and Johnny’s got all the hypervigilant aggression he’s used to seeing from them, but what they direct at others—bristling when people get too close, snapping when they’re provoked, showing teeth—Johnny turns inward.

fight or run, you're just getting older (podfic available by AshesandGhost) - were!Kaner 

Contrary to popular belief, weres don't actually need alphas. Patrick never had one, since he's the only person in his family with the gene, and his parents didn't push him into finding one. Alphas make their betas better; they keep them calm and level, they support them, they guide them. Without an alpha, betas are perfectly fine. They're just better with one.

Instincts (podfic available by exmanhater)

They don’t talk about what happens during the moon; and they don’t talk about how Patrick drives over sometimes to curl up on the couch and put his head in Johnny’s lap, jittery all over until he gets the anchoring weight of Johnny’s hand on the back of his neck; and they don’t talk about how Johnny calls him some nights and says, “Come over,” and Patrick does, because Johnny’s head is pounding with the need to get Patrick where he can see him, breathe in the scent of him, know he’s there and well. If they don’t talk about it they can just keep having whatever they need from each other; and that’s what they’ll do, because Johnny is Patrick’s alpha and Patrick needs him to be that for him.

For Johnny, it’s always been more.

I've Got A Feeling (I Hope You're Feeling It Too) by aohatsu - highschool werewolves AU!

When Patrick met Jonny for the first time, it was because they'd both just been picked for the same hockey team. When Patrick netted his first goal during practice, Jonny skated over to give him a congratulatory hug and, well, it's not like he didn't sometimes shift on accident, when he was excited or happy, but it hadn't happened at practice in ages.

Not Passive but Aggressive by reserve

Patrick Kane is a shitty werewolf; Jonathan Toews loves him anyway.

sun sweet berries of the earth series by gasmsinc -  were!jonny, forest spirit!kaner

There is a spirit living in Patrick State Park.

“Listen,” says Jonny. “I didn’t mean to step on your crown.”

The spirit’s bottom lip wobbles.

What If The Storm Ends ★

Here’s how it goes: Pat was out at a club, got bitten by a wolf—wtf?—got yelled at by Abby Sharp, woke up naked on her kitchen table, spent the day hiding in an IHOP, played the most aggressive game of hockey in his career and got mob-bossed off the ice by Sidney Crosby who, for the record, was surprisingly terrifying.

That was Tuesday.

wolf like me by gasmsinc ★ - were!Jonny

When Patrick had imagined his eighteenth birth year celebrations, he hadn’t imagined them taking place in a fortress a thousand miles away from home, surrounded by a people who were only his by marriage, while sitting next to a husband he barely knew.

He had imagined celebrating in Paelford Castle, right there in the great hall where his family had held every celebration, surrounded by the servants and nobles he had known his entire life, his parents and sisters on either side of him. He hadn’t imagined celebrating his eighteenth birth year on his wedding day, either.

Wolfverse by linsky - were!Patrick

Patrick has two goals for himself when he comes to Chicago: Win the Stanley Cup. And don’t let anyone find out he’s a wolf.

Ghost

Transcendence by ice_hot_13 - ghost!Jonny

Jonny shows up at midnight to play at the rink, and Patrick doesn't know who he is, what he's doing, or how the hell he even gets into the building, but Patrick still can't stay away.

If You Like It, Then You Should've Put A Ring On It - stepquietly

Tazer haunts Patrick through his TV and keeps threatening to kill him. And Kaner makes jokes about how Tazer lives at the bottom of a well and still uses a VCR. (The Ring AU crack!fic)

feel your heart beating as clearly as my own - ghost!Jonny

[He still doesn't get enough sleep most nights, and even though Jonny's there, he's notreally there, and he spends a lot of time sitting on the couch staring out the window,Jonny's hand clenched around his, like he's not sure what else to do.]

Jonny dies. Then he starts bothering Patrick.

the ghost & mr. kane - ghost!Jonny

"Uh," he starts. "You--if you're robbing me, you're not doing a great job of it."

"I'm not--I live here!"

"No you don't," says Patrick, dumb. "I live here."

"Yeah, I'm--I'm--I do too."

It snaps together for Patrick, suddenly--the guy's weird muttonchops, his suit, the way he disappeared and reappeared. "You're my ghost?" he asks. Just for confirmation, you know.

"Yes," his ghost says, glowering and still rusty-voiced.

as the ominous others

defrost, debauch, destroy by psocoptera (podfic by exmanhater)  ★ - ???

Beneath the ice, dread things lie dreaming. Or listening to One Direction, whatever.

thy hair soft-lifed by the winnowng wind by forochel ★ - leprechaun!Kaner

He made sure to lay out two saucers, one of spiked milk and one of pure whisky, that night; it was the closest to an apology he could think of.

Anatomy of a Hybrid series by maccabird_23 (abandoned WIP) - magical hybrid AU

Professional sports were chock-full of wolf and dragon hybrids; littered with adept humans but lean on the fairer hybrid. Most elves stayed to the more delicate athletics. Ballet and figure skating being the few sports they excelled at. Elves definitely didn’t play hockey. + Pat was many things but dumb wasn’t one of them. He knew how his teammates looked at him when he got worked up or even worst, turned on. He felt it deep in his gut and couldn’t control as the excitement, anger or arousal blossomed on his skin. Sparks of red and blue taking off from the tips of his pointy ears when he was happy. Deep reds gathering like coal along his scales when he was upset. His lips turning blistering silver before settling on frostbite red whenever he looked at Jonny.

bare those teeth to me please, man-eater - selkie!Jonny

 the one where johnny is a selkie, and patrick is the fisherman's son who loves him.

1988 selkie AU by allthebros - selkie!Jonny

They never give their skin willingly, his grandpa told him. You gotta either steal it and hide it away where they can’t find it, cause, believe it, first chance they got, they’re gone–doesn’t matter if they love you or if they have kids, they love and want the sea more. Or you gotta let them have their skin and let them go once the tryst is over. They don’t stay land-locked by choice, though they can still be happy and love like we do.

Patrick’s grandpa was a wise man, which is why it takes him more than a moment to understand what Jonathan is saying. “Take it, Patrick,” he repeats, his seal-skin all folded up between his strong hands. “I wanna stay.”

But You're So Magnetic by forochel - veela!Kaner 

Kaner comes into his veela heritage on his 24th birthday. Shenanigans and surprise feelings ensue.

call it magic by thundersquall ★ - faerie!Patrick

“It’s the faerie blood in me,” Patrick explains.

Jonny is just not equipped to deal with this shit.

OR, on March 17, Patrick turns into a faerie.

(Can't Help) Faun'in in Love by Miss_Psychotic - faun!Kaner 

When Jonathan is 12, he meets a boy named Kaner.

Crest and Break by hatrickane - mer!Kaner

 Kaner’s life in the deep is more than fulfilling - even despite his fascination with the fisherman who floats on the surface. He knows he has to keep his obsession a secret from the other Merfolk - but no banishment, magic, or legend is going keep him from getting closer to those kind eyes.

Friend Like Me by hatrickane ★ - genie!Jonny

 It wasn’t as beautiful as most oil lamps, Patrick surmised. It was a little stained, the ceramic chipped in places, but a meticulously crafted leaf sat nestled at the open mouth and Kaner dragged his fingertips over it.

It was warm, and he wanted it. Even without knowing what was inside.

First Frost by SimoneClouseau ★ - faerie (unseelie!Jonny)  

When he makes it to the party they ask him where he disappeared to an hour ago and Patrick stares back at them.

“What do you mean an hour?” he says. “It’s been ten minutes.”

Sharpy starts laughing. “Fine, don’t tell us.”

Patrick thinks maybe, just maybe, he’s going insane.

Patrick ends up somewhere he shouldn't be, and Jonathan is forced to claim him to save his life.

I want to meet the kind of folks I've never met by pistol_red - mer!Jonny

In which Johnny is tangled in a net and Patrick is the merman who saves him.

kiss the boy by gasmsinc - mer!kaner

The fish’s head is submerged completely under water. The only thing sticking out is the curve of its back, but Jonny can finally see why it’s stuck: there’s a fishing net hooked on a part of the rock.

It’s then that the fish decides to move again. Its tail thrashes back and forth wildly, and in its panic the fish bangs its broken fin right into the rock. A series of air bubbles pop up to Jonny’s right, but he doesn’t have time to acknowledge how weird that is, because three seconds after the bubbles, a boy’s head pops out of the water.

Jonny yells.

My Heart's in the Sea - Samantha_Holmes - mer!Jonny

When a mermaid named Jonathan saves a prince named Patrick from drowning, little did they know that their lives would be intertwined forever.

Animal Transformations

After Forever After by hockeyhawk ★ - angry frog!Jonny

One moment there was a captain. Next moment there was a frog. Someone has to step up, apparently it's Kaner.

The Hedgehog Can Never Be Buggered At All by forochel - hedgehog kaner

It’s a little known fact that the Kane family are in possession of a genetic quirk — an x-linked recessive gene — that basically boils down to this: Kaner turns into a hedgehog one day and gets stuck.

An Experiment In Hedgehog Physics by exmanhater - hedgehog!Kaner

Hedgehog!Kaner has the best ideas.

Hedgehog!Kaner series by altri_uccelli ★  - hedgehog!Kaner

Uhhhh, hedgehog Kaner in Switzerland.

+

Jon brings him up to his neck, cuddling him against the skin of his throat. He’s always done that, way back before everything. Even though it prickles, even though it gives him a light rash sometimes, he just likes Kaner there.

“Been awhile,” he whispers again.

+ A collection of ficlets and tagfic in the hedgehog!Kaner 'verse.

Better Off With You by tictactoews - hedgehog!Jonny 

Tazer has always seemed prickly on the outside, but he takes it to a whole new level when he turns into an actual hedgehog and becomes dependent on Patrick's care.

Changing on the Fly by mermaid - pitbull!Kaner

"Where's Kaner?" Jonny asks. "Where did this pit bull come from?" Duncs chews on his lip. "Uh, see, there's actually only one answer to both those questions."

Still muzzy with sleep, Jonny blinks at the guys. "So, like – Kaner got me a dog? And sent you two here to deliver it?"

"No," Sharpy says. "No, Kaner is the dog."

Duck Tales - duck!Jonny

“I think he needs floaties.”

Patrick resists the strong urge he gets to slam his head against the wall. “Kaner. He’s aduck; I don’t think they make floaties for them. What kind of duck can’t swim?”

“The kind that are magically transformed hockey players?” Kaner suggests and damn it, hehas a point.

Gone to the Dogs - puppy!Jonny

Jonathan Toews turns into a puppy. Then some other stuff happens.

Hooked on a Feeling (podfic available by exmanhater) - pug!Jonny

The one where Patrick is not exactly Bella Swan and Jonathan is definitely not Sparkly Whatshisname.

OR, THE WERE-PUG AU.

Into Each Life Some Rain Will Fall Like Cat Piss on Your Shoes by james - cat!Kaner

Johnny is waiting for Patrick to get home from Switzerland. What he gets is a surprise.

Slip the Jesses, My Love by flitterflutterfly - literally a hawk!Jonny

Jonny’s gets turned into a hawk and the only one he lets hold him is Patrick

The Cat Crept In by Celly1995 - kitten!kaner

Jonny's not entirely sure why he needed to get back to Chicago so urgently, because he *definitely* doesn't want to admit to himself that he's missing Patrick. But it's just as well he did come home, because Patrick's... not himself.

the skies are not cloudy - buffalo!Jonny

In which Jonathan Toews can turn into a buffalo, and Patrick Kane is the idiot in love with him.

Through the Looking Glass - puppy!Jonny, kitten!Kaner

The fic where Tazer becomes a puppy and Kaner turns into a kitten, but Sharpy still doesn't see any difference in how they behave.

To push a frozen rope - kitten!Kaner

It's just another day in the Blackhawks locker room when Patrick Kane decides to turn into a puppy.

you come around and the armor falls by altri_uccelli - puppy!Jonny

Patrick's in bed when he hears it, and at first it sounds like a peep that a phone might make, but then it happens again, elongated like a whine. His only theory is that it's a mouse, caught somewhere, and if Jonny's going to make a nuisance of himself by staying when he's not invited, he can damn well take care of this.

Bonus: IGAL 'verse by svmadelyn has an amazing tumblr tag that has ficlets and tag!fics with puppy!Tazer and doggo kids. Warning cuteness overload

Love & Sex & Magic

#1 Crush - sex magic

Patrick shows up at his and Jonny's hotel room under the influence of sex magic. 5000 words of porn ensues.

caring is creepy by liketheroad ★ - truth magic

When he gets out of the shower Johnny stares at him like Kaner’s the best thing he’s ever seen, which weirds Kaner out even more than the rest of this situation, because what, not even Johnny’s eyes can lie, now? This is some fucked up shit. Fucking Canucks fans, seriously.

 In which Tazer is truth whammied by a Canucks fan and it turns out he has a lot of feelings. Mostly about Kaner. But also about bacon.

Changing the Rules of the Game by Herwhereabouts - magic powers

Tazer has a concussion and is desperate to get better, while Kaner has healing powers he is unaware he possesses. Much drama ensues.

still into you by altri_uccelli - gender transformation

It's not even 12 hours after Jonny discovers he's a girl that he's sprawled on an itchy sofa, biting on his fist and being eaten out by Patrick Kane. He can't believe that a day exists in which having oral sex with Kaner, his oldest friend on the team and frequently a pain in his ass, is not the weirdest thing to happen.

A Handy Guide To Making You Feel Good by fourfreedoms and joyfulseeker - gender transformation

When it had first happened, body melting into this new form right there in front of all the guys, he’d demanded an answer from Jonny. “Did you see this coming?” A five first times fic.

+ “Um…” Patrick says, staring at the water beading down over the curve of one breast and along his taut stomach.

“What?” Jonny asks, furrowing his brows.

Patrick finally gets the chance to lend a helping hand.

Hanging on a Moment of Truth - sex magic

As it turns out, the weird sex magic is the least of Kaner's problems.

i mingle with divinity by mockturtletale - lucky sex magic

“Hey,” Patrick says, putting his hand on Jonny’s thigh, feeling giving, “It’s totally us. You and me, we’re golden when our boners touch. It’s just what happens after that’s unnatural or whatever.”

roving eye ravenous by toomanyhometowns ★ - possession

He opened his mouth to start talking and blinked.

So Deep in My Heart (That You're Really a Part of Me) by kiwoa - bodyswap

"No way," Jonny says, and he slowly turns his - Kaner's - head from side to side, watching the muscles in his face and neck shift. He licks his lips; it tastes wrong. His left wrist feels too stiff and his legs and stomach look too skinny and his hair still itches, damnit. Jonny scratches the back of his neck with nails that are too long and uncomfortably ragged.

"Okay," he says slowly. "Okay, this is not good."

Symptomatic by snapple_jax - sex magic

“What, like it’s hard?” Jonny parrots along with Elle Woods. He side-eyes Patrick, fully prepared for the gleeful chirp about how he knew Jonny loved this movie all along.

Only Pat’s turned an alarming shade of red before scurrying to the bathroom, blanket trailing behind since he couldn’t untangle himself fast enough.

the gift of obedience - obedience magic

Patrick will be fine without Jonny. Really. All he has to do is track down Lucinda and get her to break the spell. He doesn’t even have to liberate an oppressed magical species or find true love along the way.

The Hug Offensive by ingenius - magic powers

When he's five, Patrick figures out that he has a super power. He thinks it's awesome.

under your skin by hazel - bodyswap

Patrick goes to bed that night in Tazer’s guest room. It’s not the first time he’s slept there, but it’s the first time he’s tried to sleep in Tazer’s body. His legs want to kick out weirdly into the corners of the bed, and his head can’t find a comfortable position on the pillow. He drops off eventually anyway, worn from the current of rage he’s been carrying around all day and the constant slow rhythm of Tazer’s heartbeat, drumming in his chest like a cage.

yours and/or mine by demotu - bodyswap

Jonny shows Patrick how it works. And by "it", I mean his dick. Jonny's, but temporarily Patrick's.

love is a contact sport by hazel and mermaid ★ - soul bond

"And the tragic reality of Patrick's life is that even though they broke up over a year ago, he and Johnny still play beautiful hockey together."

A high school AU, featuring dream-fish, bad movie dates, and a little bit of magic.

glory days by liketheroad - soul bond

He never expected his destiny to involve anything but hockey, never thought it would show up in flip flops, but when Patrick smiles at him across the locker room, quick and surprised, Johnny lets his priorities shift and change without a hint of reluctance or regret.

22 by aohatsu ★- soulmate

There’s no other explanation. His soulmate must have turned twenty-two yesterday.

more magical Realism and fantasy

say it with flowers by hazel ★

GOOD WORK, YOUNG HAWK, the oak tree outside his building booms once the season’s over, and Patrick smiles sleepily in its direction.

He's never been sure how the trees of Chicago know about hockey—trees hear a lot, but it's not like he's ever stopped in a public park to ask one about it.

The Purity Myth by downjune ★

Patrick Kane is a unicorn—the ferocious, foul-mouthed, man-hating kind.

these are the fables on my street by Fahye ★

Patrick makes a fucking superhuman effort, sweeps up the mess of his emotions, and stashes his incipient freakout about all of this somewhere in the back of his mind where he can have it later. When Jonny's back in the driver's seat, and Patrick's had a chance to bring up the whole blowjobs-and-beach-walks issue. Focused on the win, that's Patrick Kane.

Custos by hatrickane

The legend goes as this: The Sorcerer of Mount Custos, the guardian, serves as the protector of the farmfolk.

Patrick thinks it's bullshit.

I have as much soul as you (and full as much heart) by Mayhem10

Jonathan Toews was born with only half a heart. He didn't know that the other half existed, let alone that it was held by some irritating American named Patrick Kane.

A Magical Realism AU

May your past be the sound by elareine

After that, Jonny set some rules for himself.

1. No using his power for himself. That just looked like a slippery slope to him. Helping others was fine, though. 2. Consequently, no manipulating the outcome of a game, no matter how badly he wished to change the way he’d played. That would be unfair and undermine any victories. 3. No relationships with teammates. Not related to the time travel thing, but important enough to include in this list. Just because he could turn back time didn’t mean he had to create any more opportunities for a giant clusterfuck than necessary.

(Five times Jonny travelled back in time, one time he couldn't, and one time he chose not to.)

Like a Leaf That's Caught In the Tide by Frosting50

For more than 200 years the Toews men have been blamed for everything that’s ever gone wrong in the town of Pumpkin Hollow. Or the Practical Magic AU no one asked for.

bring it if you really want it by staraflur

It starts like this:

Well, okay, Patrick has no idea how it actually starts. But as pertains to him (in other words, the important part), it goes a little something like so: America, being a nation composed in large part of a melting pot of immigrants who may or may not have taken over land already owned by others using less-than-savory means, doesn’t have much of a magical national identity. Much less a magical continental identity. There’s no grand heritage going back thousands of years. Magical families home-schooled all their kids until, like, the 1800’s, and tough for the muggle-born, apparently. Hopefully you got noticed by someone who knew what to do with you before you got burned at the stake. Since you probably can’t control your powers, sport.

forget met (not) by hippietoews

“You're remembering him, aren't you?" Pat asks. Jon hums quietly.

After the battle with Pitch, Jon never talked about his memories. He didn't share anything about his previous life with the other Guardians. He knows that they have memories of their own previous lives, but they seem so unattached to them now.

Who they are now is what matters.

Long Way Home by tictactoews

Jonathan Toews is a young heir to the Winnipeg castle and estate, but this comfortable and sheltered life is not what he really wants. When circumstances force him to join a group of Grey Wardens - warriors dedicated to defend the world against monstrous enemies - Jonathan finds a new life and new friends, including two runaways from the neighboring country of Orlais, an old friend who's now back in his life, and a rogue elf who will come to mean more to Jonathan than he ever expected anyone could.

Dragon Age AU. No prior knowledge of the game necessary to read this story.Spoilers (if any) for Origins and Awakening.No spoilers for Inquisition.

the times i spent with you

"Pat plays Quidditch because not playing feels like dying. It's just that simple." Quidditch AU

through the mirrored maze

Jonathan's relationship with his daemon is different from anyone else's.

together again for the very first time by draftingletters

Like, seriously, this is the great fucking irony of Kaner’s life. You’d think it’d be pretty awesome, having powers of prophecy and all that, but all the dreams that end up coming true are so hideously fucking boring. It’s the perfectly natural normal dreams his brain spits out that are fucked up. The kind where he plays for the Ducks, or is a professional florist, or a neon green elephant. Or banging Tazer.

the walls kept tumbling down (in the city that we loved) series by altri_uccelli 

“Patrick wonders idly what Toews' daemon is; something like a python, maybe, or a bird of prey. It would just figure if it were a hawk, Patrick thinks in disgust; he's already starting to hate Toews a little so he tries to dial it back. Then he notices a big cat—some kind of, like, mountain lion—sitting well apart from the other daemons. It's watching the ice intently, and if Patrick had anyone to bet with, he knows where he'd put his money.”

+ fighting dragon remix ★ by altri_uccelli

A month ago, Jon thinks: a month ago he hadn't even heard of daemons, hadn't yet had his life turned upside down by a talking otter and a boy with dimples and the smoothest skin he'd ever touched and secrets held close behind long-lashed blue eyes.

world enough and time

The effect is instantaneous: Jonathan jerks forwards, gasping, and over the white-noise screaming his eyes are wide and frightened and fiercely alive. In that instant Patrick thinks, clear as a bell, god, he’s gorgeous. Fuck. (A Pushing Daisies AU.)

For fic inquires. Rec me a fic? Happy reading!

Whether you enjoy romance, action, or fantasy, there is a queer comic for you. As I learned to navigate my own sexuality, I found myself really enjoying queer coming-of-age stories. The self-discovery in queer stories has always inspired me, and I’m sure others as well.

The catalog of LGBTQ+ graphic novels and comics continues to grow, even as most of the superheroes we are accustomed to fall into the same stereotype: unlimited powers, superhuman strength, and mostly hetero. I always thought the notion of superhumans being mostly hetero was shortsighted even when I was a kid. Can you imagine godlike beings only attracted to a single sex? See, me either!

As a pansexual person, LGBTQ+ narratives oftentimes display the most realistic view of self-discovery even in a fantasy setting. That why I love queer coming of age stories so much, because no matter how many I read, regardless of genre, I can see myself in those storylines.

LGBTQ+ graphic novels tend to be more layered and fulfilling to me. I tend to gravitate to queer romance that includes action, fantasy, or historical fiction references. There’s nothing like an LGBTQ+ heroic plot! The heroic plot doesn’t have to be a superhero-based plot, but it can involve regular, everyday people who do extraordinary things while proclaiming their queer identity. To me, that’s pretty cool. So for Pride Day, I’ve decided to do a roundup of LGBTQ+ comics and graphic novels that are a mixed bag of romance, science fiction, action, fantasy, and historical fiction with a coming of age element. It may not specifically be a coming-of-age book, but the storyline will be relatable to the concept.

Here are some queer comics and graphic novels that you can read today.

MOTOR CRUSH BY BRENDON FLETCHER, BABS TARR, CAMERON STEWART

This action-packed sci-fi series is a dream if you are a motorcycle enthusiast. The leading character is a queer action hero who is not to be messed with. It’s a cool cyberpunk fantasy filled with queer delight and a lot of boss babe attitude. The cyberpunk colors and theme will make you think you’re somewhere in the future.

BINGO LOVE BY TEE FRANKLIN

Bingo Love is still one of my favorite queer comics even though it doesn’t have a lot of action in it. It does have significant historical references to it, which makes it engaging with a love story set in a time where everyone is striving for equality. Plus, you get to see some cool illustrated retro fashion looks.

THE LAST LINE BY CONSTANT HUSTLE COMICS

Miles Sihls only wants to get his father’s approval. When he finally comes out to his father, he is met with love and acceptance. This makes Miles want to fight even harder for his family. In this sci-fi comic, a family that loves together fights together.

CHECK PLEASE BOOK 2 STICKS & SCONESBY NGOZI UKAZU

A perfect follow-up to the first volume makes this coming-of-age book a must-have in your queer comic collections. While this isn’t your typical action-packed book, sports enthusiasts will enjoy this love story as it combines hockey and romance.

WITCHLIGHT BY JESSI ZABARSKY

Who doesn’t love a good witch romance? You get a little mystery and magic and it’s all wrapped up in an emotional package that will make you feel for Sanja who falls in love with the witch Lelek. Follow them on their mission of self-discovery and secrets.

CREMA BY JOHNNIE CHRISTMAS, DANTE LUIZ, RYAN FERRIER AND ATLA HRAFNEY

For those of you that enjoy occult lesbian stories, this one is for you. If you are looking for a genre-bending romance tale that involves caffeine anf ghosts, this beautiful book is just for you. The only bad thing I can say about this book is that there’s no print copy available to buy.

Happy National Coming Out Day!

Chapter 11 - The Beginning and the End of Everything (Finn Balor)

“Gemma, last time I checked it was only your knee that was injured, not your hands!” Nabilah Saad-Fitzgerald scolded her daughter with a knife in one hand and a bowl of strawberries in another.  Gemma would have been scared if this scene hadn’t happened countless times growing up.  “Come sit at the table and cut these strawberries!”

Sitting on the couch in her living room, watching hockey commentators speak on the upcoming IIHF World Junior Hockey Tournament, Gemma rolled her eyes.  “Mama, I’m watching TV!” she called back.  

“You mean you don’t watch TV in Florida?” Nabilah asked sarcastically, waving the knife around.  “Could have fooled me!  You can’t tell me the World Juniors aren’t on in Florida with your satellite TV!”

Gemma snorted at her mother’s words.  Gemma never got away with anything while she was home.  She’d never win against Nabilah – she never did.  Nabilah was the queen of the house; even her dad acquiesced to her.  “Can you at least bring them here so I can cut them?”

“Sixteen years and she hasn’t changed one bit,” he mother muttered in Arabic as she brought the strawberries over to the coffee table for Gemma to cut, setting them down in front of her daughter.  “If you get any stains on the couch I won’t feed you for a week, understand?”

Gemma couldn’t help but snort again at her mother’s threat.  “Yes mama, I understand,” Gemma said, learning forward so she could grab the knife.  “I’ve never gotten a stain on our couches before, I’m not going to now.”

“That’s what I like to hear,” Nabilah nodded her head, walking away.  “I’ll be in the kitchen.  Call me when you’re done.”

Gemma had been back for about a week now, at her parents’ home – the home she grew up in.  Her physiotherapy had stopped for about two weeks over the holidays and when she went back to Orlando in the New Year, her surgeon and doctors would be doing a full check-up and review of her injury and her progress to date.  She was excited, if only because they would be able to give her a more accurate timeline as to when she could get back on the ice.  She didn’t want it to preoccupy her mind too much, especially over the holidays, but she thought about it a lot.  Probably too much.  

The holidays were her favourite time of the year, if only because her house was filled with family.  Her parents always hosted Christmas, ever since she could remember.  The house was full of family members young and old, big and small, and Gemma loved the craziness of it all.  Growing up as an only child meant she was close to her cousins, considering them like siblings, her original best friends (before she met Jane, of course).  Now that a lot of her cousins her age were getting married and having kids, the family was growing, and she was all too happy to be surrounded by toddlers and babies.  

“So, what’s Fergal up to for the holidays?” her father James asked as he set the table for the numerous guests – the extension and extra tables came all the way out to the living room.  This was usually a job left for Gemma but Nabilah didn’t want her making 100 trips to and from the basement to get the extra plates.  

“He’s back in Ireland,” Gemma informed him, catching the look her mom gave him, a smile playing on Nabilah’s face.  Gemma wanted to roll her eyes.  “I mentioned he has a big family, right?  There’s five siblings, and they’re all married except for him, so there’s a bunch of them.”

“How lovely,” her mom piped in.  “Have you two spoken at all since you came back?”

They were basically on a constant chat on WhatsApp, despite the time difference, but Gemma didn’t want to admit that.  “Here and there,” she lied.  “He’s busy catching up with all his friends, I bet.  Plus he isn’t the type to be attached to his phone.”

“So all that texting you’ve been doing has been to Jane?” her dad asked. “Yeah,” she lied again, “and Sarah, and Amber, and Jocelyn,” she rattled off the names of some of her teammates as cover.  

“So this Fergal fellow,” Nabilah piped in again.  “Does he follow hockey?” Gemma snorted.  “Mom, he’s from Ireland.”

“So?”

“The Irish aren’t exactly known for their love of hockey,” Gemma said.  “Hurling, maybe, but not hockey.”

“So he didn’t know who you were when you met?”

“He had no idea.  One of his best friends who is Canadian clued him in.”

“But now, he watches you?”

“Well, there isn’t exactly anything new to watch,” Gemma mumbled.  “But I have no idea if he’s seen any of my games or tournaments.  He hasn’t really mentioned it, to be honest.”

“You should make sure he does, so he sees how good you are,” Nabilah pointed dramatically at her daughter.  

Gemma smiled at her mom.  “If I won a gold medal, I think he knows, mama.” “Do you miss him?” James asked suddenly.

Another thing Gemma had to lie about.  She’d never admit it out loud but she missed him like crazy.  After their Ireland, Iceland, and England trip, she caught herself thinking about him more and more everyday; his contagious laugh, his toothy smile, the Finn-freeze he’d do in pictures.  She missed it all.  And she never thought she would.  “I mean, a little bit, obviously.  He is my friend.  But I missed Jane more.”

James smiled at Nabilah, wondering who Gemma was trying to convince more. 

With the Christmas meal done, Gemma felt like she was about to explode.  A mix of traditional food and Arab food was enjoyed by all, and now, almost all the adults were either passed out on the couch in a food coma, or sitting at the table trying to recover from one.  Most of the babies and toddlers had gone down for the afternoon nap, which meant all the adults still had about two hours before they’d start to wake up.  

Lunch was eventful.  One of her cousins Aidan, only two years older than her, announced to everyone he finally proposed to his long-time girlfriend Summer, which meant a wedding was on the horizon in about a year.  Another cousin, Hannah, revealed she was pregnant with her second child, which is why she couldn’t partake in the traditional champagne toast.

Then, of course, there was an event created by Gemma’s own stupidity.  She, of course, had been texting Fergal all day, and it had continued throughout lunch, albeit in much slower conversation since she didn’t respond immediately.  But when she had sent him a joke and he had responded with a quick remark, she couldn’t help but smile down at her phone screen in her lap.  And that’s when it happened.

Her aunt Eliza asked why she was smiling down at her phone.  Gemma stuttered.  The table went silent and every single pair of eyes was on her as they awaited her answer.  When she finally admitted it was a friend, a friend named Fergal whom she met in Orlando, a tidal wave of questions flooded her.  Who’s Fergal?  Where’d you meet him?  What’s he do?  What’s he look like?  He’s got an accent?  He’s from Ireland?  Where in Ireland?  What’s his last name?  What’s his blood type?  What was the name of his third grade teacher?  What size shoes does he wear?  Where does he get his hair cut?

It overwhelmed Gemma, but it was nothing she hadn’t faced before.  The same flurry of questions were asked when they learned of her last boyfriend, Johnny, an employee of the Toronto Maple Leafs head office.  They were together for two years before breaking it off mutually.  Still, she didn’t want her entire family finding out about him, especially not now, at Christmas dinner, and especially since there was nothing to really talk about.  They were friends, and that’s it.

Friends.  But then, when her friend got wind that she was finished lunch, and he suggested he call her, that little grin that incriminated her during lunch incriminated her again.  She didn’t even have to tell her mom what was going on.  When she stood up from her chair and was going to explain, Nabilah just waved her off, telling her to go in to the bedroom that the kids weren’t sleeping in.

Dialling his number, he answered on the second ring.  “Hey you,” he said warmly.  “Merry Christmas.”

“Merry Christmas to you too,” Gemma repeated his sentiment.  He wondered if he could sense the giant grin on her face through the phone.  “How are you?  Miss my grumpy attitude yet?”

Fergal snorted.  “Pretty pooped, but I wouldn’t have gone to bed without calling you,” he revealed.

“Oh God, what time is it there?” 

“It’s only nine.  But I seriously did so much today I’m ready to pass out.  We opened presents, had lunch, took a walk ‘round the neighbourhood, then walked to the beach, then came back and made hot cocoa…” he rattled off.  It all sounded amazing to her.  “What about you?”

Gemma huffed.  “I got interrogated because of you,” she scolded him playfully.  “Twenty-five people asking ‘Who’s Fergal?  What’s a Fergal?  Where’d you meet him?  What’s he do?  Where is he?’”

“That’s funny, because the only questions anyone here asked me were ‘Where’s Gemma?  How’s Gemma?  Who’s she with?  What’s she doing?’  It’s like I don’t even exist!”

“I’m sorry you’re so jealous of me, but I can’t help it that I’m popular,” she used a line from Mean Girls, causing Fergal to laugh.  “Maybe we should have switched families for the holidays.  Clearly they only care about the opposite person.”

“Clearly.”

There was a pause in their conversation before Gemma heard Fergal’s voice again.  “Hey Gem?”

“Yeah?”

“I do kinda miss you.”

She could feel her cheeks flush red.  “I miss you too, Ferg.”

As they continued their conversation, Gemma wondered if, hundreds of miles away, if he could sense her curling up into a ball, listening to his accent like she hadn’t heard it in years, a small contended smile on her face.  She knew there was nothing she’d rather be doing right now.  

It was all a blur to Fergal.  Here he was, standing at the baggage claim at Pearson International Airport in Toronto.  He’d call a cab to take him to the Saad-Fitzgerald house.  He’d be seeing Gemma in just over an hour, if everything went smoothly.  

How did he end up here?  Well, it all happened so quickly.  After a few more phone calls to and from Gemma throughout the week leading up to New Year’s Eve, it was obvious to everyone around him, especially his parents, that Fergal was missing her more than he let on.   Then, after spending New Years Eve with his friends, he had a quiet breakfast with his parents, where his mom told him, “If you want to go Ferg, you can go.  You left me for Japan at 24…we’ve been doing this dance for over ten years.  I don’t mind you leaving.”

And so that night, he booked the first flight out from Dublin to Toronto.  Now, he found himself at the door of 245 Briar Hill Avenue in Toronto, knocking, his shoes covered in snow.  He didn’t notice a car in the driveway, and hoped to God someone was home.  He was cold and the taxi had already driven away.  He didn’t know where else he could go.

Thankfully, he heard the rattle of a lock and chain a few moments later, and the door was opened.  An older woman, wearing glasses and a cozy looking sweater opened the door.  “Hello?”

Fergal smiled charmingly.  “Hi, you must be Nabilah Fitzgerald?”

“I speak to you Jehovah’s Witnesses once three years ago and you still remember my name!” she yelled out, waving her finger at him, about the close the door.

“Oh no!  No no!  It’s not – I’m not – no!  My name’s Fergal – I know your daughter Gem --”

“Fergal!!  Fergal from Orlando!” Nabilah exclaimed, swinging the door open.  “Fergal!  Come inside from this cold!  Come come come!  In in in! Inside!  Inside!” Nabilah all but pulled him into the foyer, closing the door behind him.  “Where are your boots?!” she demanded, looking down at his paltry Vans sneakers.

Overwhelmed, his mouth gaped open, and he said the only thing that came to his mind.  “I’m Irish.”

Nabilah nodded her head in understanding, as if that was a legitimate excuse.  “Ah yes, of course.  You weren’t expecting the snow.”

“No I wasn’t.”

“I’ve been in this country thirty years and even I don’t expect it sometimes,” she joked.  “What are you doing in Toronto?”

What was he doing in Toronto?  Showing up announced to the Saad-Fitzgerald residence, apparently.  “I uh, I came to surprise Gemma.”

Nabilah had a toothy grin on her face.  “Ah yes, of course,” she said knowingly.  “Take off your shoes.  Come by the fire to warm up.  Gemma and her father are out but they should be back in less than an hour.”  As he took off his shoes and followed her into the house, she kept talking to him.  “You want something hot to drink?  Some hot chocolate?  Some coffee – oh no, you’re Irish, you must drink tea!  I’ve got a lot of tea --”

“Mrs. Fitzgerald, it’s no bother --” he tried to wave her off.

“Bother?!  What bother!  It’s nothing!  I fill a kettle with water and I put it on a stove!  Nothing!” she kept exclaiming.  “You sit on the couch and warm up.  You’re not used to our winters and I don’t want your blood to freeze.”

Once Nabilah prepared the tea, she brought it over and settled into polite conversation with Fergal.  She asked about his family, the holidays, and he answered all her questions earnestly.  She told him the story of how she met James, how long they had lived in this house, and what Gemma was like as a kid, pointing to some family portraits in frames and pictures of her in her first ever hockey uniform that were on display on the fireplace mantle.  She was about to break out a family photo album before they heard the garage door begin to open.   

“That’s them,” Nabilah said, standing up from the couch and bringing their mugs into the kitchen.  “She’ll be happy to see you, Fergal, even if she doesn’t show it.”

It was at that moment Fergal realized that Nabilah was probably acutely aware of the issues Gemma was having with her injury.  He couldn’t form another thought before he heard her voice call out throughout the house.  “Maaaaa!  Dad still has some bags in the car!”

“I’ll be right out!” Nabilah called back, barely making a move from the kitchen. He heard the door shut, and the rustling of bags, before the squeak of some old floorboards in the stairs that signalled Gemma was on her way towards them.  When she finally ascended the stairs, she still didn’t notice him, too preoccupied with making sure the bags didn’t break from the weight.

“Hey,” he said plainly to get her attention.

She stopped dead in her tracks, her head whipping over to him.  “Ferg?!” she set down her bags.  “What are you doing here?!”

“I thought I’d come to Canada in the dead of winter for a vacation,” he joked as he watched her make her way over to him.  

She embraced him tightly, throwing her arms around him tightly and squeezing him against her body.  He reciprocated, wrapping his arms around her too in a tight hug.  “I missed you,” she said, loud enough so he could hear but not her mother in the kitchen.

“I missed you too,” he whispered, squeezing her a bit tighter.  “That’s why I’m here.”  She broke their hug to get a good look at him, as if she still didn’t believe he was there in the living room.  She looked good; well rested, relaxed, her cheeks flushed red, probably from the cold outside.  “You cut your hair,” he smiled.

She rolled her eyes and snorted, dropping her arms from around his shoulders and pushing his chest lightly.  “Why do you notice these things?”

“Who’s this?” a man’s voice filled the air, causing Gemma to spin around.  “Ah, you must be Fergal?”

“Yep, that’s me,” he nodded to who he assumed was James.  “It’s really nice to meet you Mr. Fitzgerald.”

“You’re in for a treat, Fergal.  Big hockey game on tonight.  Canada versus Russia in the semi-finals at the World Juniors,” James smiled, setting down his grocery bags next to where Gemma had set hers down.

“Have you watched hockey with Gemma yet?” Nabilah asked, who was now standing in the entryway from the living room to the kitchen.  

“N-No, I haven’t.  But I’ve seen her play.”

Gemma’s eyes went wide at the revelation.  He’d actually done it – he’d looked her up on the internet.  “You have?”

“Well, yeah.  I looked up your gold medal game – I had to, the way everyone talks about it,” Fergal admitted.

“When?” Gemma asked.

“Long time ago,” Fergal shrugged it off.

“She’s good, isn’t she?” Nabilah winked, clearly proud of her daughter.  

“She is.  Best I’ve ever seen,” Fergal smiled.

“Best of her generation,” Nabilah nodded towards her daughter, who was now blushing yet looked mildly annoyed.  “That’s me and James waking up at 5am to take her to morning practice.”

Fergal laughed as he saw Gemma roll her eyes.  “Yeah, I know the feeling.  My parents would do the same for me for Gaelic football.  I think it killed them a little inside when I chose wrestling instead.”

“Oh, wrestling!  So you do Olympic wrestling then?” James asked.

“Oh no no no.  I wrestling in the WWE, and I used to wrestle in Japan.”

“How awesome!” James exclaimed.

“Where’s your stuff?” Gemma intervened.  She didn’t even give him a chance to answer before she looked at both her parents.  “I’m going to help him set up in the spare room,” she announced.  

Before Fergal could say another word, Gemma began dragging him through the house.  He grabbed his suitcase quickly, never breaking stride, and followed Gemma before reaching what he assumed to be the spare bedroom she had mentioned.  She turned on the light and closed the door behind her after pulling him in.  “Your mother did the same thing to me when she saw me outside with only Vans on,” he joked.

“You’re insane,” she said, but he wasn’t sure if she had heard a word of what he just said.  “What are you doing here?”

“I told you, I missed you,” he repeated his earlier sentiments.  “My mom said I was apparently all mopey around the house…and well, she knew that it would cheer me up if I came over to see you.”

Gemma looked at him like he had three heads.  “Seeing me would cheer you up?”

“Yeah,” Fergal nodded.  “Crazy, right?”

Gemma didn’t say another word.  Instead, she extended her arms out to hug him again, embracing him tightly just as she’d done in the living room a few minutes earlier.  “Ferg, you’re certifiably nuts.”

He snorted.  “Yeah, but the craziest part is…mammy was right.”

Gemma stopped breathing momentarily.  Had he just admitted he was happy being with her?  That he would rather be here, with her, in a snowy and cold Toronto with her parents, rather than at home in Ireland, with his own parents?  God.  

She squeezed him tighter.  A tingle went up her spine as she felt him nuzzle his face into the crook of her neck.  

Fuck.

Friends my ass.

Keanu Reeves on his love of motorbikes and the 'Sad Keanu' meme

WHEN IT COMES to riding a motorbike, Keanu Reeves is no celebrity dilettante. Like his alter ego Johnny Utah in Point Break, the enigmatic movie star is a self-confessed speed demon who regularly tests his limits as a fearless motorcyclist. As a young boy growing up in Toronto, Canada, where he first aspired to be a hockey goaltender before acting intervened, Reeves was fascinated by bikes. His stepfather owned a Norton Interceptor and to this day his favourite motorcycle remains his 1973 Norton Commando.

But it took a pretty German girl to actually get Reeves on his lifelong motorcycle journey: “When I was 22, I was working on a movie in Munich and a girl showed me how to ride her Kawasaki Enduro. Ever since then I’ve been addicted to everything about motorcycles,” he says. “Wherever I’ve been in the world – shooting a film or whatever – I’ve always looked for a used bike shop to get something very fast I could ride around for a few months and then sell back afterwards. I get very restless if I don’t get to feel the kind of speed and freedom riding a bike gives me.”

Reeves is a fearless renegade rider who cherishes the time and “incredible freedom” he experiences aboard an impressive collection of bikes that includes a 1974 BMW 750 (“I bought that while shooting The Matrix”), 1984 Harley Shovelhead, and Moto Guzzi T3, but he still finds time for his day job. His new movie, John Wick: Chapter 2, sees Reeves return to the role of the reformed hitman bent on atoning for his past. Not only did the original John Wick blow critics away and prove to be one of the sleeper hits of 2014, but it also gave Reeves his first truly galvanizing role since The Matrix films.

In John Wick: Chapter 2, Reeves’s retired assassin is forced back into action again in order to foil a plot involving a secret assassins’ guild. Like the original, the sequel sets out to replicate the same kind of kinetic and brilliantly choreographed fight sequences that show he hasn’t lost any of the martial arts techniques that he has honed over his career.

Says Reeves: “I can still hack it – I don’t want anyone else to do the fight scenes, and I still do virtually all of the fighting. The only problem is that you’re very sore and stiff the next day because you’re older and less flexible. I can’t jump as high as I used to, but my overall technique and ability to do the choreographed sequences is at a much higher level now and I still get a kick out of doing those scenes. I’ve also had some great teachers to get me to where I needed to be. It’s a lot of fun.”

Shot in Rome and New York, the sequel co-stars Ruby Rose (Orange is the New Black), Ian McShane, John Leguizamo, Bridget Moynahan, Laurence Fishburne (his former Matrix boss), Common, Lance Reddick, Peter Stormare, and Riccardo Scamarcio.

Ironically, the high octane sequel sees Reeves take the wheel of a supercharged Chevrolet Chevelle and mow down a villainous motorbike rider in one particularly thrilling sequence shot in New York’s Times Square.

Despite any subconscious misgivings about running over a fellow biker, albeit for the sake of fiction, Reeves likes the fact that the new Wick movie raises the action bar even higher than the first. “I love John Wick. We had an amazing time making this story. I can’t say that we’re not geeked about continuing the idea and the character. We have some really cool ideas. We talk about what would be cool to take it to the next level… If the first one was a black belt, this one is third-degree black belt.”

Set for release at the end of February, John Wick: Chapter Two could well be the kind of monster hit that Reeves needs to recover his Hollywood mojo. Now 51, the ever-handsome and still rather boyish-looking actor has seen his legacy tarnished in a string of critical and box-office flops. But in the guise of John Wick, he is able to infuse his palpable single-minded, melancholy spirit into a character who after losing his wife experiences a profound sense of despair. That underlying sense of rage and danger turns Wick into a ticking time bomb – someone you wouldn’t want to provoke.

“One of the things that drew me to Wick was his sense of honour and desire to lead a better life,” explains Reeves. “He’s driven by a firm set of principles and he’s not someone who you want to mess around with after he’s lost his wife and simply wants to be left alone.But once he’s set in motion, he’s going to be a man who is very hard to stop.”

The image of the solitary warrior has been a prevailing theme in Reeves’s screen roles of late. Films like 47 Ronin, Man of Tai Chi, and Henry’s Crime all saw him play laconic, lonely figures railing against an indifferent universe. These kinds of stories have served to fuel the ‘sad Keanu’ meme that took hold after Splash News ran a photo of Reeves sitting by himself on a park bench munching on a sandwich. For a man with a personal fortune in excess of $100m it seemed like a tragic portrait of a suffering artist. Reeves, who has never married and has no children, rejects the notion that he is lonely, much less sad: “I don’t feel lonely. I don’t socialise a lot but I have good friends and I have a very good life. I just don’t do anything to attract any attention to myself and I find it’s much easier to live that way.”

The meme itself was simply a case of him taking a break while shooting a film in New York. Explains Reeves: “It was lunchtime, between filming on Henry’s Crime. I decided to have something to eat during the break and began thinking about something. You know, sometimes you just start thinking during lunch. And that’s exactly what I did, but people seem to have decided that I was very sad. It’s interesting: photos can generate a thousand words, but none of them would be true!”

Motorbiking is what excites Reeves more than anything else in life. He believes that the combination of fear and exhilaration that comes from riding a motorcycle at high speed is a “unique sensation” that has few equivalents. The desire to find “the ultimate ride” is what inspired him to co-found the Arch Motorcycle Company in 2011 together with custom-bike builder Gard Hollinger.

The fruit of that collaboration is the Arch KRGT-1, a bike that most motorcycle experts and enthusiasts consider to be one of the most elite custom motorcycles on the planet. It combines space-age design with state-of-the-art engineering, and is powered by a Twin Cam 124 cubic-inch (2,032 cc) 45-degree down-draft fuel-injected engine that generates 122 hp and 122lb-ft of torque.

According to Reeves, this is a motorcycle that delivers on every single level: “It’s a bike that’s really confident feeling going straight, and it has a lot of torque so whenever you get on the throttle, you can really feel the pull and push of the motorcycle. It can turn and handle. We knew we wanted to offer something unique, not only aesthetically, but also when it comes to the pleasure of riding.

“I told Gard: ‘OK, the reason we should do this is because the machine is amazing, and we’re going to die anyway,’” he adds, laughing.

Reeves was involved in the development process virtually every step of the way and found a kindred spirit in veteran bike builder Hollinger. They set up shop in Hawthorne, California, near to Elon Musk’s Space-X facility, and set about fashioning their dream machine.

Though Reeves tends to downplay his technical input versus aesthetic contribution, Hollinger, his partner in the venture, has suggested otherwise: “He’s being modest. He always has a lot of feedback. I think he has to temper his wishlist a bit, because he doesn’t want to overwhelm me. His thoughtfulness and passion for riding was a huge part of what caused me to commit to the project. I’ve ridden my whole life, and when we talked about the riding experience, I was struck and impressed by how in tune he was. Man, all the years I’ve been riding, I’ve been taking it for granted.”

At a premium cost of $78,000, the KRGT-1 incorporates aluminium construction, carbon fibre BST wheels, a futuristic instrument panel from MotoGadget, and a six-speed Baker transmission. While gearheads will be blown away by the custom specs alone, ordinary mortals and casual (albeit deep-pocketed) motorbike enthusiasts will be mesmerised by the bike’s otherworldly design.

Says Reeves: “When we were discussing what we wanted to do with the bike, it was not just about building something that looked unique from a design standpoint but something which offered a very distinct experience for the bike rider. First of all, you need to build a machine that performs at the highest level – then you can talk about the aesthetics. But in the end, it’s all about the ride!”

When he looks at the KRGT, which he classifies as a “performance cruiser,” Reeves’s expression lights up: “It’s a new class of motorcycle. It goes beyond anything we’ve ever seen in terms of aesthetics and ergonomics and the way it handles on the road. It’s the product of a lot of hard work and thought. I think it’s beautiful.”

For Reeves, “the ride” is also a metaphor for one’s journey in life. For years, he’s lived almost like a Ronin – a warrior without a master – seeking some form of solace amid the constant attention that comes with being one of the biggest stars in Hollywood.

Yet he was largely indifferent to fame and fortune. He lived in hotels such as the Chateau Marmont for his first 15 years in Los Angeles before buying himself a house. He has little use for his immense fortune and has given much to friends, charities, and cancer research (he funded a wing of a hospital where his sister was treated during her battle with leukemia).

Though he insists that he’s “not lonely”, motorbiking would appear to be his surest means of combating a sense of restlessness and finding peace of mind. He confesses that he’s often “happiest” cruising along Sunset Boulevard late at night when there’s little traffic and he can admire the beauty and spectacle of the Pacific Coast Highway.

“Riding a bike is pure freedom,” Reeves says. “I love the speed and how it completely clears your mind. When I’m out riding, I just feel like I’m very calm and focused at the same time. One of my favourite rides of all is taking the Pacific Coast Highway through the Santa Monica mountains and Malibu Canyon and then making my way back home along Sunset: there’s just nothing else like it.”

Lining Up: Blues, Leafs, Stars, Ducks, and More – January 1

  New year, new lines. In this week’s instalment, I’ll let you know which lines to watch out for in the new year. Before we get into that, we’ll take a quick glance at each team’s most productive line during the 2018 portion of this season.  Using Dobber’s Line Production Tool, I compared even-strength point production from around the league. ‘Time on ice’ represents how many minutes each trio has played as a line this season, values were retrieved from Natural Stat Trick.

  Dissecting the Data

  As you might imagine, lines that have more time on ice together tend to produce more. So, it makes sense that teams at the bottom of this list have suffered notable injuries (suspensions in the case of Tom Wilson and Washington), or have struggled often enough to warrant constant line juggling.

  This makes production from the Johnson-Point-Kucherov line so much more impressive because they’ve taken considerably less time to put up so many points. In contrast, production from Vegas’ top line of Marchessault-Karlsson-Smith has been disappointing considering they’ve seen so many minutes together.

  Although I am surprised that the Galchenyuk-Schmaltz-Keller line hasn’t produced more than nine even-strength points at this point, I’m sure they’ll take over the team lead soon.

  One line I did not expect to see near the top of this list was Montreal’s trio of Tatar-Danault-Gallagher. It’s one of the few lines on this list without any ‘star’ power, but they seem to outwork their opponents every night.

  New Year’s Rising Solutions

  Filip Forsberg – Ryan Johansen – Viktor Arvidsson

With both Forsberg and Arvidsson sidelined with injuries for lengthy periods this season, this trio has been together for just 13 of Nashville’s 40 games. With Arvidsson healthy again and Forsberg’s return scheduled for some time in January, 2019 will give this line an opportunity to show us why they’re one of the best in the league. I shared some of their advanced stats in last week’s column, but I’ll remind you that they’ve controlled 58% of shot attempts, 59% of scoring chances and 68% of high-danger scoring chances while on the ice. Last season they outscored their opponents 38-17, expect more of the same in the new year.

    Rickard Rakell – Ryan Getzlaf – Ondrej Kase

If you’ve been reading these articles on a weekly basis, you’re probably familiar with my love for the Ducks and their amazing off-day schedule. Since Anaheim plays more than 60% of their games on Monday/Wednesday/Friday/Sunday this season it’s easy to incorporate guys like Getzlaf, Rakell, and Kase into your lineup. Speaking of Rakell, he’s currently scoring on just under six percent of his shots – an extremely low number considering how efficient a shooter he’s been in his career. He’s also close to returning from an ankle injury, so his value can only increase in the new year.  While I’d like to see Kase on this line, Pontus Aberg might be a more likely candidate.

    Jamie Benn – Tyler Seguin – Alex Radulov

By now, I’m sure you’re familiar with what Stars’ CEO Jim Lites had to say about Benn and Seguin’s play this season – calling them freaking horse poop (I should probably ask Dobber what our policy for profanity is). However, I’m not going to sit here and tell you that those comments are going to spark Benn and Seguin, inspiring them to produce more in 2019. What I am going to tell you is that Jamie Benn is on pace for just 63 points. In the past five seasons, his worst pace put him on track for 73 points (in 2016-2017 when he finished the year with 69 points in 77 games). At 29 years of age, Benn is still very much capable of putting up 70-80 points in a season, and I think his production will improve as Seguin’s luck improves. Seguin leads the league with 11 shots off the post/crossbar and his shooting percentage of 7.5% is lower than his career average. Dallas’ offense wasn’t at full-strength for the majority of this season’s first half, as both John Klingberg and Alex Radulov were dealing with significant injuries. Now that all the team’s offensive stars are healthy, I think the Stars will score more in 2019.

    Jaden Schwartz – Brayden Schenn – Vladimir Tarasenko

Averaging just 2.81 goals for per game, the St. Louis Blues are in the bottom third of the league when it comes to offensive production. The fact that they’re struggling to score goals is made even more surprising when you consider that Ryan O’Reilly has 34 points in 36 games. The reality is, their best line from last season which featured Schwartz, Schenn, and Tarasenko, has struggled mightily this season. Tarasenko has just 22 points in 36 games, Schenn has 22 points in 32 games, and Schwartz has 14 points in 23 games. This is a line that dominated their opponents in possession last season. They controlled 60% of shots, 63% of scoring chances and 61% of high danger scoring chances while on the ice. While they might not be as dominant in terms of possession this season, they are still generating more shots and scoring chances than their opponents. In fact, their controlling an even larger share (67%) of high-danger opportunities in 2018-2019! Despite out-chancing their opponents, they’ve been outscored 8-4. This is partially explained by their on-ice shooting percentage which sits at a measly 5.1% – a number that was all the way up at 9.7% last season.

    Andreas Johnsson – Auston Matthews – William Nylander

William Nylander has 2 points in 11 games this season. I think that’s a long enough adjustment period after he missed the beginning of the season amidst a lengthy contract negotiation. It wasn’t realistic to expect much of Nylander as soon as he returned to the lineup, considering he hadn’t played with his teammates in months. But now that he’s had a few games to readjust to the pace of the NHL, I expect him to start producing. Nylander is an extremely talented player who posted 60 points in each of his two full seasons. He has great chemistry with Auston Matthews – who has shown glimpses of being one of the league’s most talented forwards. Ideally, a hard-working forechecker like Zach Hyman would complete this line, but Hyman has been extremely successful with John Tavares and Mitch Marner and is currently injured. While I think Nylander and Matthews will be extremely successful in 2019 regardless of whom they’re playing with, it looks like Andreas Johnsson is currently the third member of this line.

    For the first time ever, hockey training specialist Kevin Neeld is revealing the exact training programs and methods he’s used to help players progress from the youth to professional levels!

Over the last 10 years, hockey has changed.The game is faster, and the players are quicker, stronger, and better conditioned than ever before.

Simply, as the game changes, so too must the preparation.

Unfortunately, most players don’t have access to a quality hockey-specific strength and conditioning coach or facility.

You, like many players, may have to resort to borrowing old programs handed down from your friend older sibling’s former junior or college team, or searching around the internet for exercises that internet experts claim are the best for hockey players.

Even worse, you may be following the perpetual trend of high school students to use old school body building methods that have almost no application to on-ice improvements. If Monday is “Chest Day”, I’m talking to you!

There is a monstrous disconnect between what youth, junior, and even some college players are doing and the programs of the top collegiate and professional teams.

I know, because I hear from S&C Coaches at these programs about how woefully unprepared most new players are. The reality is that most youth players:

Don’t train at all

Don’t train in any way that will help them progress on the ice

Train themselves into injury

Train themselves OUT of next-level opportunities

Fortunately, now you have an opportunity to get yourself on track, to start preparing off the ice in a way that will accelerate your on-ice development.

My name is Kevin Neeld, and I am the President of Endeavor Sports Performance, a 6,500 sq ft training facility that specializes in training hockey players outside of Philadelphia in the small town of Pitman, NJ.

You read that right; we specialize in training hockey players…in South Jersey!

In addition to being responsible for designing all of the programs for a Tier I youth organization that consistently ranks as one of the best in the country, every Summer I have a group of ~50 junior, college, and professional players that move back to the area to train.

Using specific training methods, I’ve helped players make the transition from youth to juniors,  juniors to college, and juniors or college to pro.

This is home.

“Kevin’s programs have helped me develop the speed and quickness I need to compete at the highest levels”

(Bruce Fedyck, USA TODAY Sports)

“I’ve trained with Kevin since before my first year in the USHL. As a smaller guy, having the ability to create time and space has been crucial to my success. Kevin’s programs have helped me develop the speed and quickness I need to compete at the highest levels, and the conditioning to continue pushing the pace late in games.  If you’re looking to fulfill your potential on the ice, Kevin is the guy to help you get there.”Johnny “Hockey” Gaudreau Calgary Flames, NHL 2015 NHL All-Star 2014 Hobey Baker Winner

“Kevin has been a major factor in helping me excel at the professional level.”

“As a professional athlete, training with Kevin has given me the guidance and programs to train at an elite level. Over the past 5 years I continue to learn more about my body and how far it can be pushed. Through his programs I have seen significant gains that I have noticed on and off the ice. His attention to detail has helped me maintain my body and prevent injuries. I can honestly say Kevin has been a major factor in helping me excel at the professional level.”

Eric Tangradi Winnipeg Jets, NHL

“I have spent the last 5 years training with Kevin. In that time, we have done everything from off-ice training, nutrition planning, soft-tissue, deep tissue, and hip capsule mobilization work, and more. I have always been very particular in my training and have had a lot of injuries and structural limitations in my body that I’ve needed to work around. This hasn’t affected my training one bit, as Kevin has individualized and altered my programs to fit my specific needs. I have worked with some of the “top” people in the world, and can honestly say that Kevin stands above the rest.”

Colby Cohen Providence Bruins, AHL

“I give 100% credit to my off-season program.“

“Ever since I started working out with Kevin at Endeavor, I have done nothing but get better. He taught me the right way to train. Every goal I’ve set for myself to translate on the ice, I’ve hit, and I give 100% credit to my off-season program. I won’t train with anyone else!”

Anthony DeAngelo Sarnia Sting, OHL

“You will see…how committed he is to making you into a better player than you had imagined.”

“Kevin Neeld’s dedication to the sport of hockey is the driving force behind his success and the success of his athletes. Every aspect of his work is specialized to the individual needs of his athletes. His passion has allowed me to reach new heights I would not have been able to achieve without him, at the collegiate and professional level. My individual programs have made me into a more complete player. On the ice, I feel like I am a more balanced player. Every aspect of my game has seen improvement: speed, agility, cardio, and strength. As a smaller player, I am never outmatched physically.If you want to compete on the ice with the best, you have to train off the ice with the best. Kevin has proven himself as one of the elite trainers in the nation. You will see from Day One how detailed his work is and how committed he is to making you into a better player than you had imagined.”Jeff Buvinow Brown University, NCAA D1 Arizona Sundogs, CHL

“I would not be playing where I am without him.”

“After training with Kevin Neeld for several years now, I can say without a doubt that I would not be playing where I am without him. Hockey is a sport that is constantly changing and Kevin has mastered the ability to evolve his training programs to give each individual exactly what they need to perform at their best on and off the ice.

Kevin has pushed me to accomplish goals that I didn’t think possible. My speed and explosiveness, along with the conditioning on the ice were dramatically improved after starting with Kevin. Kevin’s knowledge has helped in my training in ways I didn’t know existed when first starting with him. Along with great weight lifting programs, he includes corrective exercises to meet each individual’s needs. These go a long way in keeping us healthy and injury free during a long season.”

Buddy Robinson Lake Superior State, NCAA D1 Binghamton Senators, AHL

“There is a reason I made the four hour round-trip drive to train with Kevin during my off-season.  His innovative and scientifically-backed training programs helped bring my on-ice performance to the next level.  Not only did my overall athleticism and confidence on the ice improve, but his thorough knowledge of the body helped rid me of nagging injuries that have hindered my performance during past seasons.  That his knowledge is now readily accessible online will surely benefit hockey players and athletes at all levels throughout the world.”

Jack Walchessen Peterborough Petes, OHL

“If I hadn’t trained with Kevin, I might not have reached my goal of playing professional hockey.”

“Training with Kevin has taken me from a Division 3 to an ECHL hockey player. He has personalized my workouts to strengthen areas that had been injured or never been appropriately trained. If I hadn’t trained with Kevin I might not have reached my goal of playing professional hockey.”

Michael Gershon Wheeling Nailers, ECHL

“Working with Kevin has shown me the importance of maintaining an overall healthy body. From subtle adjustments to my breathing and posture, he has helped me become more aware of the effects of working out with a conscious effort on keeping good form versus just going for heavy weights and lots of reps. Kevin puts quality and health over quantity and it really shows in the performance of the players he works with.”

Chase Hatcher Peterborough Petes, OHL

Training such a wide spectrum of ages and abilities has given me a unique perspective on what players at each level need to do to succeed at the next.

Whether you’re the most or least skilled player on your team, following a quality training program can have a profound impact on your career.

The players lacking in natural gifts can compete at higher levels by being better prepared physically than their competition. Training is the great equalizer.

Working with the United States Women’s National Hockey Team

“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.” – Tim Notke

The naturally gifted can expand the capacities of the game by adding their incredible skill sets to a more explosive and durable frame.

Simply, you can ALWAYS get better.

Over the last 5 years, I’ve worked tirelessly to develop, test, and refine an off-ice training system that produces game-changing results.

This system has now been tested by hundreds of players training hard to not only reach the next level, but to dominate there. And now, for the first time ever, this system can be yours…

“As a former Junior A, Division I, and Pro hockey player, I’ve had my fair share of strength/nutrition coaches and I can honestly say none compare to the knowledge and care that Kevin Neeld brings to a team. Having the privilege to work beside Kevin for the past 4 years with Team Comcast, both at the U16 & U18 levels, I can truly testify that I have not come across another coach who has such an impact on athletes as Kevin.

His knowledge and expertise in strength training and nutrition are second to none. During his time with Team Comcast he has undoubtedly been a major contributor to helping our players achieving their goals of playing hockey at the next level.

He is a true professional who beyond a doubt cares about the development of young athletes and providing them with the proper foundation to take their playing career to an elite level.

In the Ultimate Hockey Transformation Manual alone, you’ll discover:

Why real speed training requires a lot more than just doing sprints

The specific age ranges where players can accelerate the development of specific athletic qualities

What every parent and coach needs to know about weightlifting for kids

Shocking research on hip injury risk factors in youth hockey players

The most common exercise technique flaws, and key strategies and cues to perfect technique in almost every exercise

A comprehensive guide on how to modify or replace exercises based on the equipment you have available

Specific symptoms and recovery strategies associated with the two major types of overtraining

Simple strategies to maximize your most powerful recovery tool

How very predictable asymmetries can wreak havoc on skating, shooting, and injury risk

Ever since my college career ended, I’ve been passionately working to help players exceed even their own expectations.

While I do write about hockey training, I’m not an internet expert. I don’t just sit behind a computer and spout untested theory. I have thousands of hours training hundreds of players at all levels. Training hockey players isn’t a hobby for me. It’s a passion. It’s my career. It’s the reason I’m excited to drive to work every morning.

When you train with one of my programs, you know you’re not only using a program that is built on sound scientific principles and an in-depth understanding of the game, but one that has been tested and delivers REAL results.

Results speak for themselves…

Here’s a quick snapshot of some of the results achieved using the Ultimate Hockey Transformation off-season programs:

A USHL player put on 14 lbs of lean mass

A NCAA D1 player added 4″ to his vertical jump

An OHL player added 14° of hip rotation to each hip and significantly improved hip adduction and abduction, two essential motions in the skating stride.

An NAHL player dropped a full second off his 50-yard shuttle test average and decreased his sprint decrement score by 6.6.

An NCAA D1 player improved his reverse lunge from 190 lbs x 5/side to 265 lbs x 16/side

An AHL player improved his reverse lunge from 225 lbs x 5/side, to 265 lbs x 25/side

While “individual results may vary”, this a small sample of what you can expect from following these programs.

I regularly see youth players put on 10-15 lbs of muscle, college players add 3-4″ to their vertical jumps, and players at all levels experience 20-50+% lower body strength increases, all in a single off-season.

This is not marketing hype; these are REAL results.

Pete Friesen Head Trainer/Strength & Conditioning Coach for the Carolina Hurricanes Adjunct Professor Duke University, School of Physical Therapy

“…one of my most trusted resources in the strength and conditioning field.”

“I’ve known Kevin Neeld for over six years now, and I can say without wavering that he’s one of my most trusted resources in the strength and conditioning field.

I can’t recommend him enough.”

Eric Cressey President, Cressey Performance – Hudson, MA

“…if you want to be the best, he’s one that you have to train with.”

“Kevin Neeld has one of the brightest minds in performance enhancement for hockey athletes. He constantly pushes the envelope on improving himself which ultimately benefits those that he trains and works with. His ability to disseminate research and text books into practical knowledge is outstanding. I’ve implemented things that he’s written and spoken about to help my hockey athletes compete for championships. Kevin is one of the best and if you want to be the best, he’s one that you have to train with.”

Brijesh Patel Head Strength and Conditioning Coach, Quinnipiac University SBCoachesCollege.com

“He is the most knowledgeable strength/fitness specialist that I have ever met”

“Without exception, every player that I have advised to work with Kevin has thanked me for doing so. He is the most knowledgeable strength/fitness specialist that I have ever met, and this is not an accident – he relentlessly keeps himself informed about current thinking and research, and how it applies to his clients.”

Alec Schall Managing Director, Player Agency LEGACY Global Sports

“one of the preeminent Strength and Conditioning Coaches in the country.”

“Kevin Neeld is one of the preeminent Strength and Conditioning Coaches in the country. His knowledge on the latest practices in Performance Training, including the ability to utilize information from the disciplines of Strength and Conditioning, Physical Therapy, and Massage Therapy is second to none.  This allows him to offer his athletes some of the best development-based programs available. I have personally benefited a great deal from his writing and educational products and much of what I do with my athletes is a direct reflection on the education Kevin provides.”

Devan McConnell Director of Sports Performance UMass Lowell

“His products and coaching will take any hockey player to the next level.”

“I first met Kevin during my internship with Mike Boyle and the Boston University Hockey team.  Since that time Kevin has become an authority on training hockey players and helping them reach the next level.  He has accomplished this distinction with the same work ethic and attention to detail as he showed the first day we met, by continually investing in his education, visiting other coaches, and in the trenches work with hockey players from bantam to the Pro’s every day.

As the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach at Union College, I am always striving to find the best information to give my hockey teams every advantage possible.  Kevin’s products have helped shape the training and care of our hockey teams.  In addition, Kevin has personally helped two of our players during the summer prior to their freshmen year at Union.  Each athlete came in prepared and performed as well, if not better, than our upperclassmen in pre-season testing. If you are looking for a Leader in Hockey Sports Performance Training, Kevin Neeld is one of the best.  His products and coaching will take any hockey player to the next level.”

The Secret Weapon of the Transformation System…

We’ve all heard the old adage, “you are what eat.”

While you may shrug this off, the nutrients you put in your body quite literally provide the building blocks for every structure within your body, from your cell walls, to bone, to muscle tissue.

I’ve had countless conversations with players that “can’t put on weight no matter what they do” despite “eating all the time”, players that feel they really struggle to lose fat, and others that feel worn down mid-season or “lose their legs” mid-game. In almost every case, there is an underlying diet or lifestyle issue that they have not addressed.

I can say with 100% confidence that the Ultimate Hockey Transformation System will improve your performance, but it’s going to be an uphill battle if you don’t go “all in” and make the necessary nutrition and lifestyle adjustments to give your body the resources it needs to adapt.

Fortunately, hockey nutrition expert Brian St. Pierre has put together a comprehensive guide for you to do just that.

Brian is not only a former player, he is an incredibly bright and innovative nutrition coach. In addition to his ongoing work with a wide range of professional and amateur athletes, Brian is also a member of Dr. John Berardi’s team contributing to one of the world’s most successful nutrition programs in Precision Nutrition.

In short, Brian knows his stuff.

And if you follow the guidelines in his Ultimate Hockey Transformation Nutrition Guide in conjunction with strictly following one of my training programs, you’ll achieve the type of results that get coaches exclaiming, “Wow! WHAT did you do this Summer?”

Inside the Ultimate Hockey Nutrition Guide, you’ll get:

“…one of the top professionals in the field of Sports Performance”

“Kevin is one of the top professionals in the field of Sports Performance.  His credentials speak clearly for themselves.  Kevin possesses a vast variety of knowledge and skills sets that allow him to provide the highest level of care to his athletes.  He is not only a coach and educator to his athletes, but also an established educator and leader in the field.  I have been fortunate to know Kevin for several years, and can say for certain that I learn something new every time we talk or I see him present.  Kevin’s passion and constant pursuit of knowledge has not only supported the athletic development of his athletes, but has promoted the profession of sports performance.”

Dan Boothby MS. CSCS Director of Strength and Conditioning, Northeastern University

“…they always come into camp healthy, well-conditioned, and prepared for the rigors of college hockey.”

“Kevin has continued to be one of the foremost thinkers and resources when it comes to training the hockey athlete. I value the information, ideas, and products that he has shared with his fellow colleagues in the field. I’m also very lucky that some of our athletes have the ability to train with Kevin in the off-season, as they always come into camp healthy, well-conditioned, and prepared for the rigors of college hockey.”

Mike Kamal Director of Strength and Conditioning, Merrimack College

“Kevin continually offers innovative and progressive training techniques supported by cutting edge research.”

“Kevin Neeld provides athletes, coaches and training professionals a sound, science based, professional approach to performance development. In a field that is saturated with continually changing theory and application, Kevin provides a truly holistic and very effective educational philosophy. Kevin continually offers innovative and progressive training techniques supported by cutting edge research. He is a valued resource and his work is an integral part of our performance programs.“

Mike Elberty Hockey Strength and Conditioning Coach, St. Lawrence University

“When I am looking for ways to help my hockey players perform better on the ice…I turn to Coach Kevin Neeld.”

“Trainers who can give you a laundry list of exercises are everywhere; you have to look farther to find a true professional strength and conditioning coach. When I am looking for ways to help my hockey players perform better on the ice and reduce their risk of injury, I turn to Coach Kevin Neeld.

Kevin is constantly looking for more effective methods of both assessment and training. I am indebted to him for introducing me to the Postural Restoration Institute. While other trainers are busy arguing about why their training is the best, Kevin is out making himself (and his athletes) better and better.

So when I am searching for the ‘next thing’ for recovery, strength, speed and stability I go to Kevin’s products and articles where I always get a fresh perspective. You may not be able to train with Kevin, but any hockey player can take a giant leap forward by following his techniques.”

Maria Mountain, MSc, CSCS Certified Exercise Physiologist/Owner Revolution Sport Conditioning www.HockeyTrainingPro.com

“I have known Kevin for over three years and consider him a close friend and fine Strength Coach!  Kevin provides a unique blend of knowledge and practical application that produces both exceptional educational content for his respective audience, and tangible athletic results for his training populations.  I highly recommend Kevin’s content!”

Anthony Donskov, MS, CSCS, PES Founder: Donskov Strength & Conditioning, Inc.

“Kevin is a great resource.  He has taken the complex ideas behind posture and movement quality and made simple ways for any coach or player to apply them to training.”

Darryl Nelson, MEd, ATC Strength and Conditioning Coach, US National Team Development Program

“Over the past few months, I’ve had the pleasure of talking to Kevin directly regarding the training and rehabilitation of a few of my athletes. His insight has greatly helped me write programs to ensure these athletes came back from injury and remained healthy throughout the season. Kevin’s book has been a great resource in helping me write programs for my athletes while keeping them healthy and I will certainly continue to seek Kevin’s advice regarding strength and conditioning.“

    For the first time ever, hockey training specialist Kevin Neeld is revealing the exact training programs and methods he’s used to help players progress from the youth to professional levels!

Over the last 10 years, hockey has changed.The game is faster, and the players are quicker, stronger, and better conditioned than ever before.

Simply, as the game changes, so too must the preparation.

Unfortunately, most players don’t have access to a quality hockey-specific strength and conditioning coach or facility.

You, like many players, may have to resort to borrowing old programs handed down from your friend older sibling’s former junior or college team, or searching around the internet for exercises that internet experts claim are the best for hockey players.

Even worse, you may be following the perpetual trend of high school students to use old school body building methods that have almost no application to on-ice improvements. If Monday is “Chest Day”, I’m talking to you!

There is a monstrous disconnect between what youth, junior, and even some college players are doing and the programs of the top collegiate and professional teams.

I know, because I hear from S&C Coaches at these programs about how woefully unprepared most new players are. The reality is that most youth players:

Don’t train at all

Don’t train in any way that will help them progress on the ice

Train themselves into injury

Train themselves OUT of next-level opportunities

Fortunately, now you have an opportunity to get yourself on track, to start preparing off the ice in a way that will accelerate your on-ice development.

My name is Kevin Neeld, and I am the President of Endeavor Sports Performance, a 6,500 sq ft training facility that specializes in training hockey players outside of Philadelphia in the small town of Pitman, NJ.

You read that right; we specialize in training hockey players…in South Jersey!

In addition to being responsible for designing all of the programs for a Tier I youth organization that consistently ranks as one of the best in the country, every Summer I have a group of ~50 junior, college, and professional players that move back to the area to train.

Using specific training methods, I’ve helped players make the transition from youth to juniors,  juniors to college, and juniors or college to pro.

This is home.

“Kevin’s programs have helped me develop the speed and quickness I need to compete at the highest levels”

(Bruce Fedyck, USA TODAY Sports)

“I’ve trained with Kevin since before my first year in the USHL. As a smaller guy, having the ability to create time and space has been crucial to my success. Kevin’s programs have helped me develop the speed and quickness I need to compete at the highest levels, and the conditioning to continue pushing the pace late in games.  If you’re looking to fulfill your potential on the ice, Kevin is the guy to help you get there.”Johnny “Hockey” Gaudreau Calgary Flames, NHL 2015 NHL All-Star 2014 Hobey Baker Winner

“Kevin has been a major factor in helping me excel at the professional level.”

“As a professional athlete, training with Kevin has given me the guidance and programs to train at an elite level. Over the past 5 years I continue to learn more about my body and how far it can be pushed. Through his programs I have seen significant gains that I have noticed on and off the ice. His attention to detail has helped me maintain my body and prevent injuries. I can honestly say Kevin has been a major factor in helping me excel at the professional level.”

Eric Tangradi Winnipeg Jets, NHL

“I have spent the last 5 years training with Kevin. In that time, we have done everything from off-ice training, nutrition planning, soft-tissue, deep tissue, and hip capsule mobilization work, and more. I have always been very particular in my training and have had a lot of injuries and structural limitations in my body that I’ve needed to work around. This hasn’t affected my training one bit, as Kevin has individualized and altered my programs to fit my specific needs. I have worked with some of the “top” people in the world, and can honestly say that Kevin stands above the rest.”

Colby Cohen Providence Bruins, AHL

“I give 100% credit to my off-season program.“

“Ever since I started working out with Kevin at Endeavor, I have done nothing but get better. He taught me the right way to train. Every goal I’ve set for myself to translate on the ice, I’ve hit, and I give 100% credit to my off-season program. I won’t train with anyone else!”

Anthony DeAngelo Sarnia Sting, OHL

“You will see…how committed he is to making you into a better player than you had imagined.”

“Kevin Neeld’s dedication to the sport of hockey is the driving force behind his success and the success of his athletes. Every aspect of his work is specialized to the individual needs of his athletes. His passion has allowed me to reach new heights I would not have been able to achieve without him, at the collegiate and professional level. My individual programs have made me into a more complete player. On the ice, I feel like I am a more balanced player. Every aspect of my game has seen improvement: speed, agility, cardio, and strength. As a smaller player, I am never outmatched physically.If you want to compete on the ice with the best, you have to train off the ice with the best. Kevin has proven himself as one of the elite trainers in the nation. You will see from Day One how detailed his work is and how committed he is to making you into a better player than you had imagined.”Jeff Buvinow Brown University, NCAA D1 Arizona Sundogs, CHL

“I would not be playing where I am without him.”

“After training with Kevin Neeld for several years now, I can say without a doubt that I would not be playing where I am without him. Hockey is a sport that is constantly changing and Kevin has mastered the ability to evolve his training programs to give each individual exactly what they need to perform at their best on and off the ice.

Kevin has pushed me to accomplish goals that I didn’t think possible. My speed and explosiveness, along with the conditioning on the ice were dramatically improved after starting with Kevin. Kevin’s knowledge has helped in my training in ways I didn’t know existed when first starting with him. Along with great weight lifting programs, he includes corrective exercises to meet each individual’s needs. These go a long way in keeping us healthy and injury free during a long season.”

Buddy Robinson Lake Superior State, NCAA D1 Binghamton Senators, AHL

“There is a reason I made the four hour round-trip drive to train with Kevin during my off-season.  His innovative and scientifically-backed training programs helped bring my on-ice performance to the next level.  Not only did my overall athleticism and confidence on the ice improve, but his thorough knowledge of the body helped rid me of nagging injuries that have hindered my performance during past seasons.  That his knowledge is now readily accessible online will surely benefit hockey players and athletes at all levels throughout the world.”

Jack Walchessen Peterborough Petes, OHL

“If I hadn’t trained with Kevin, I might not have reached my goal of playing professional hockey.”

“Training with Kevin has taken me from a Division 3 to an ECHL hockey player. He has personalized my workouts to strengthen areas that had been injured or never been appropriately trained. If I hadn’t trained with Kevin I might not have reached my goal of playing professional hockey.”

Michael Gershon Wheeling Nailers, ECHL

“Working with Kevin has shown me the importance of maintaining an overall healthy body. From subtle adjustments to my breathing and posture, he has helped me become more aware of the effects of working out with a conscious effort on keeping good form versus just going for heavy weights and lots of reps. Kevin puts quality and health over quantity and it really shows in the performance of the players he works with.”

Chase Hatcher Peterborough Petes, OHL

Training such a wide spectrum of ages and abilities has given me a unique perspective on what players at each level need to do to succeed at the next.

Whether you’re the most or least skilled player on your team, following a quality training program can have a profound impact on your career.

The players lacking in natural gifts can compete at higher levels by being better prepared physically than their competition. Training is the great equalizer.

Working with the United States Women’s National Hockey Team

“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.” – Tim Notke

The naturally gifted can expand the capacities of the game by adding their incredible skill sets to a more explosive and durable frame.

Simply, you can ALWAYS get better.

Over the last 5 years, I’ve worked tirelessly to develop, test, and refine an off-ice training system that produces game-changing results.

This system has now been tested by hundreds of players training hard to not only reach the next level, but to dominate there. And now, for the first time ever, this system can be yours…

What is Ultimate Hockey Transformation?

Comprehensive hockey-specific off- and in-season training programs for U-14, U-16, U-18, Junior, and College-aged players totaling 120 weeks of programming!

An extensive video database demonstrating proper technique for every exercise included in the program

“His constant drive to develop innovative training methods will undeniably keep his programs at the top of the training spectrum.”

“As a former Junior A, Division I, and Pro hockey player, I’ve had my fair share of strength/nutrition coaches and I can honestly say none compare to the knowledge and care that Kevin Neeld brings to a team. Having the privilege to work beside Kevin for the past 4 years with Team Comcast, both at the U16 & U18 levels, I can truly testify that I have not come across another coach who has such an impact on athletes as Kevin.

His knowledge and expertise in strength training and nutrition are second to none. During his time with Team Comcast he has undoubtedly been a major contributor to helping our players achieving their goals of playing hockey at the next level.

He is a true professional who beyond a doubt cares about the development of young athletes and providing them with the proper foundation to take their playing career to an elite level. His constant drive to develop innovative training methods will undeniably keep his programs at the top of the training spectrum. “

Jeremy Hall Former Player: USHL, Div 1 UMass Lowell, and ECHL Head Coach Team Comcast U18 Director of Hockey Operations

In the Ultimate Hockey Transformation Manual alone, you’ll discover:

Why real speed training requires a lot more than just doing sprints

The specific age ranges where players can accelerate the development of specific athletic qualities

What every parent and coach needs to know about weightlifting for kids

Shocking research on hip injury risk factors in youth hockey players

The most common exercise technique flaws, and key strategies and cues to perfect technique in almost every exercise

A comprehensive guide on how to modify or replace exercises based on the equipment you have available

Specific symptoms and recovery strategies associated with the two major types of overtraining

Simple strategies to maximize your most powerful recovery tool

How very predictable asymmetries can wreak havoc on skating, shooting, and injury risk

Ever since my college career ended, I’ve been passionately working to help players exceed even their own expectations.

While I do write about hockey training, I’m not an internet expert. I don’t just sit behind a computer and spout untested theory. I have thousands of hours training hundreds of players at all levels. Training hockey players isn’t a hobby for me. It’s a passion. It’s my career. It’s the reason I’m excited to drive to work every morning.

When you train with one of my programs, you know you’re not only using a program that is built on sound scientific principles and an in-depth understanding of the game, but one that has been tested and delivers REAL results.

Results speak for themselves…

Here’s a quick snapshot of some of the results achieved using the Ultimate Hockey Transformation off-season programs:

A USHL player put on 14 lbs of lean mass

A NCAA D1 player added 4″ to his vertical jump

An OHL player added 14° of hip rotation to each hip and significantly improved hip adduction and abduction, two essential motions in the skating stride.

An NAHL player dropped a full second off his 50-yard shuttle test average and decreased his sprint decrement score by 6.6.

An NCAA D1 player improved his reverse lunge from 190 lbs x 5/side to 265 lbs x 16/side

An AHL player improved his reverse lunge from 225 lbs x 5/side, to 265 lbs x 25/side

While “individual results may vary”, this a small sample of what you can expect from following these programs.

I regularly see youth players put on 10-15 lbs of muscle, college players add 3-4″ to their vertical jumps, and players at all levels experience 20-50+% lower body strength increases, all in a single off-season.

This is not marketing hype; these are REAL results.

“…one of the top 5-6 strength and conditioning coaches in the ice hockey world.”

“In my mind Kevin Neeld is one of the top 5-6 strength and conditioning coaches in the ice hockey world. It’s not often I turn to younger coaches for advice, but Kevin is a guy I count on to be on top of all the latest info, and to use it with his athletes. ”

Michael Boyle Owner, Mike Boyle Strength and Conditioning Head Strength and Conditioning Coach, United States Women’s Olympic Team Strength and Conditioning Consultant, Boston Red Sox

He truly is a great resource for anyone who trains athletes at any level.”

Pete Friesen Head Trainer/Strength & Conditioning Coach for the Carolina Hurricanes Adjunct Professor Duke University, School of Physical Therapy

“…one of my most trusted resources in the strength and conditioning field.”

“I’ve known Kevin Neeld for over six years now, and I can say without wavering that he’s one of my most trusted resources in the strength and conditioning field. I would say that it’s remarkable how far Kevin has come since he was an intern at Cressey Performance, but the truth is that we all knew he’d be a big player in this field from his tremendous work ethic, calm, personable demeanor, and genuine interest in helping athletes. I can’t recommend him enough.”

Eric Cressey President, Cressey Performance – Hudson, MA

“…if you want to be the best, he’s one that you have to train with.”

“Kevin Neeld has one of the brightest minds in performance enhancement for hockey athletes. He constantly pushes the envelope on improving himself which ultimately benefits those that he trains and works with.

I’ve implemented things that he’s written and spoken about to help my hockey athletes compete for championships. Kevin is one of the best and if you want to be the best, he’s one that you have to train with.”

Brijesh Patel Head Strength and Conditioning Coach, Quinnipiac University SBCoachesCollege.com

“He is the most knowledgeable strength/fitness specialist that I have ever met”

“Without exception, every player that I have advised to work with Kevin has thanked me for doing so. He is the most knowledgeable strength/fitness specialist that I have ever met, and this is not an accident – he relentlessly keeps himself informed about current thinking and research, and how it applies to his clients.”

Alec Schall Managing Director, Player Agency LEGACY Global Sports

“one of the preeminent Strength and Conditioning Coaches in the country.”

“Kevin Neeld is one of the preeminent Strength and Conditioning Coaches in the country. His knowledge on the latest practices in Performance Training, including the ability to utilize information from the disciplines of Strength and Conditioning, Physical Therapy, and Massage Therapy is second to none.  This allows him to offer his athletes some of the best development-based programs available. I have personally benefited a great deal from his writing and educational products and much of what I do with my athletes is a direct reflection on the education Kevin provides.”

Devan McConnell Director of Sports Performance UMass Lowell

“His products and coaching will take any hockey player to the next level.”

“I first met Kevin during my internship with Mike Boyle and the Boston University Hockey team.  Since that time Kevin has become an authority on training hockey players and helping them reach the next level.  He has accomplished this distinction with the same work ethic and attention to detail as he showed the first day we met, by continually investing in his education, visiting other coaches, and in the trenches work with hockey players from bantam to the Pro’s every day.

As the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach at Union College, I am always striving to find the best information to give my hockey teams every advantage possible.  Kevin’s products have helped shape the training and care of our hockey teams.  In addition, Kevin has personally helped two of our players during the summer prior to their freshmen year at Union.  Each athlete came in prepared and performed as well, if not better, than our upperclassmen in pre-season testing. If you are looking for a Leader in Hockey Sports Performance Training, Kevin Neeld is one of the best.  His products and coaching will take any hockey player to the next level.”

Dan Gabelman, CSCS, PES, USAW, FMS Union College, Head Strength and Conditioning Coach

The Secret Weapon of the Transformation System…

We’ve all heard the old adage, “you are what eat.”

While you may shrug this off, the nutrients you put in your body quite literally provide the building blocks for every structure within your body, from your cell walls, to bone, to muscle tissue.

I’ve had countless conversations with players that “can’t put on weight no matter what they do” despite “eating all the time”, players that feel they really struggle to lose fat, and others that feel worn down mid-season or “lose their legs” mid-game. In almost every case, there is an underlying diet or lifestyle issue that they have not addressed.

I can say with 100% confidence that the Ultimate Hockey Transformation System will improve your performance, but it’s going to be an uphill battle if you don’t go “all in” and make the necessary nutrition and lifestyle adjustments to give your body the resources it needs to adapt.

Fortunately, hockey nutrition expert Brian St. Pierre has put together a comprehensive guide for you to do just that.

Brian is not only a former player, he is an incredibly bright and innovative nutrition coach. In addition to his ongoing work with a wide range of professional and amateur athletes, Brian is also a member of Dr. John Berardi’s team contributing to one of the world’s most successful nutrition programs in Precision Nutrition.

In short, Brian knows his stuff.

And if you follow the guidelines in his Ultimate Hockey Transformation Nutrition Guide in conjunction with strictly following one of my training programs, you’ll achieve the type of results that get coaches exclaiming, “Wow! WHAT did you do this Summer?”

Inside the Ultimate Hockey Nutrition Guide, you’ll get:

Dan Boothby MS. CSCS Director of Strength and Conditioning, Northeastern University

“…they always come into camp healthy, well-conditioned, and prepared for the rigors of college hockey.”

“Kevin has continued to be one of the foremost thinkers and resources when it comes to training the hockey athlete. I value the information, ideas, and products that he has shared with his fellow colleagues in the field. I’m also very lucky that some of our athletes have the ability to train with Kevin in the off-season, as they always come into camp healthy, well-conditioned, and prepared for the rigors of college hockey.”

Mike Kamal Director of Strength and Conditioning, Merrimack College

“Kevin continually offers innovative and progressive training techniques supported by cutting edge research.”

“Kevin Neeld provides athletes, coaches and training professionals a sound, science based, professional approach to performance development.

Kevin continually offers innovative and progressive training techniques supported by cutting edge research. He is a valued resource and his work is an integral part of our performance programs.“

Mike Elberty Hockey Strength and Conditioning Coach, St. Lawrence University

“When I am looking for ways to help my hockey players perform better on the ice…I turn to Coach Kevin Neeld.”

“Trainers who can give you a laundry list of exercises are everywhere; you have to look farther to find a true professional strength and conditioning coach. When I am looking for ways to help my hockey players perform better on the ice and reduce their risk of injury, I turn to Coach Kevin Neeld.

Kevin is constantly looking for more effective methods of both assessment and training. I am indebted to him for introducing me to the Postural Restoration Institute. While other trainers are busy arguing about why their training is the best, Kevin is out making himself (and his athletes) better and better.

So when I am searching for the ‘next thing’ for recovery, strength, speed and stability I go to Kevin’s products and articles where I always get a fresh perspective. You may not be able to train with Kevin, but any hockey player can take a giant leap forward by following his techniques.”

Maria Mountain, MSc, CSCS Certified Exercise Physiologist/Owner Revolution Sport Conditioning www.HockeyTrainingPro.com

Darryl Nelson, MEd, ATC Strength and Conditioning Coach, US National Team Development Program

“Over the past few months, I’ve had the pleasure of talking to Kevin directly regarding the training and rehabilitation of a few of my athletes. His insight has greatly helped me write programs to ensure these athletes came back from injury and remained healthy throughout the season. Kevin’s book has been a great resource in helping me write programs for my athletes while keeping them healthy and I will certainly continue to seek Kevin’s advice regarding strength and conditioning.“

    For the first time ever, hockey training specialist Kevin Neeld is revealing the exact training programs and methods he’s used to help players progress from the youth to professional levels!

Over the last 10 years, hockey has changed.The game is faster, and the players are quicker, stronger, and better conditioned than ever before.

Simply, as the game changes, so too must the preparation.

Unfortunately, most players don’t have access to a quality hockey-specific strength and conditioning coach or facility.

You, like many players, may have to resort to borrowing old programs handed down from your friend older sibling’s former junior or college team, or searching around the internet for exercises that internet experts claim are the best for hockey players.

Even worse, you may be following the perpetual trend of high school students to use old school body building methods that have almost no application to on-ice improvements. If Monday is “Chest Day”, I’m talking to you!

There is a monstrous disconnect between what youth, junior, and even some college players are doing and the programs of the top collegiate and professional teams.

I know, because I hear from S&C Coaches at these programs about how woefully unprepared most new players are. The reality is that most youth players:

Don’t train at all

Don’t train in any way that will help them progress on the ice

Train themselves into injury

Train themselves OUT of next-level opportunities

Fortunately, now you have an opportunity to get yourself on track, to start preparing off the ice in a way that will accelerate your on-ice development.

My name is Kevin Neeld, and I am the President of Endeavor Sports Performance, a 6,500 sq ft training facility that specializes in training hockey players outside of Philadelphia in the small town of Pitman, NJ.

You read that right; we specialize in training hockey players…in South Jersey!

In addition to being responsible for designing all of the programs for a Tier I youth organization that consistently ranks as one of the best in the country, every Summer I have a group of ~50 junior, college, and professional players that move back to the area to train.

Using specific training methods, I’ve helped players make the transition from youth to juniors,  juniors to college, and juniors or college to pro.

This is home.

“Kevin’s programs have helped me develop the speed and quickness I need to compete at the highest levels”

(Bruce Fedyck, USA TODAY Sports)

“I’ve trained with Kevin since before my first year in the USHL. As a smaller guy, having the ability to create time and space has been crucial to my success. Kevin’s programs have helped me develop the speed and quickness I need to compete at the highest levels, and the conditioning to continue pushing the pace late in games.  If you’re looking to fulfill your potential on the ice, Kevin is the guy to help you get there.”Johnny “Hockey” Gaudreau Calgary Flames, NHL 2015 NHL All-Star 2014 Hobey Baker Winner

“Kevin has been a major factor in helping me excel at the professional level.”

“As a professional athlete, training with Kevin has given me the guidance and programs to train at an elite level. Over the past 5 years I continue to learn more about my body and how far it can be pushed. Through his programs I have seen significant gains that I have noticed on and off the ice. His attention to detail has helped me maintain my body and prevent injuries. I can honestly say Kevin has been a major factor in helping me excel at the professional level.”

Eric Tangradi Winnipeg Jets, NHL

“I have spent the last 5 years training with Kevin. In that time, we have done everything from off-ice training, nutrition planning, soft-tissue, deep tissue, and hip capsule mobilization work, and more. I have always been very particular in my training and have had a lot of injuries and structural limitations in my body that I’ve needed to work around. This hasn’t affected my training one bit, as Kevin has individualized and altered my programs to fit my specific needs. I have worked with some of the “top” people in the world, and can honestly say that Kevin stands above the rest.”

Colby Cohen Providence Bruins, AHL

“I give 100% credit to my off-season program.“

“Ever since I started working out with Kevin at Endeavor, I have done nothing but get better. He taught me the right way to train. Every goal I’ve set for myself to translate on the ice, I’ve hit, and I give 100% credit to my off-season program. I won’t train with anyone else!”

Anthony DeAngelo Sarnia Sting, OHL

“You will see…how committed he is to making you into a better player than you had imagined.”

“Kevin Neeld’s dedication to the sport of hockey is the driving force behind his success and the success of his athletes. Every aspect of his work is specialized to the individual needs of his athletes. His passion has allowed me to reach new heights I would not have been able to achieve without him, at the collegiate and professional level. My individual programs have made me into a more complete player. On the ice, I feel like I am a more balanced player. Every aspect of my game has seen improvement: speed, agility, cardio, and strength. As a smaller player, I am never outmatched physically.If you want to compete on the ice with the best, you have to train off the ice with the best. Kevin has proven himself as one of the elite trainers in the nation. You will see from Day One how detailed his work is and how committed he is to making you into a better player than you had imagined.”Jeff Buvinow Brown University, NCAA D1 Arizona Sundogs, CHL

“I would not be playing where I am without him.”

“After training with Kevin Neeld for several years now, I can say without a doubt that I would not be playing where I am without him. Hockey is a sport that is constantly changing and Kevin has mastered the ability to evolve his training programs to give each individual exactly what they need to perform at their best on and off the ice.

Kevin has pushed me to accomplish goals that I didn’t think possible. My speed and explosiveness, along with the conditioning on the ice were dramatically improved after starting with Kevin. Kevin’s knowledge has helped in my training in ways I didn’t know existed when first starting with him. Along with great weight lifting programs, he includes corrective exercises to meet each individual’s needs. These go a long way in keeping us healthy and injury free during a long season.”

Buddy Robinson Lake Superior State, NCAA D1 Binghamton Senators, AHL

“There is a reason I made the four hour round-trip drive to train with Kevin during my off-season.  His innovative and scientifically-backed training programs helped bring my on-ice performance to the next level.  Not only did my overall athleticism and confidence on the ice improve, but his thorough knowledge of the body helped rid me of nagging injuries that have hindered my performance during past seasons.  That his knowledge is now readily accessible online will surely benefit hockey players and athletes at all levels throughout the world.”

Jack Walchessen Peterborough Petes, OHL

“If I hadn’t trained with Kevin, I might not have reached my goal of playing professional hockey.”

“Training with Kevin has taken me from a Division 3 to an ECHL hockey player. He has personalized my workouts to strengthen areas that had been injured or never been appropriately trained. If I hadn’t trained with Kevin I might not have reached my goal of playing professional hockey.”

Michael Gershon Wheeling Nailers, ECHL

“Working with Kevin has shown me the importance of maintaining an overall healthy body. From subtle adjustments to my breathing and posture, he has helped me become more aware of the effects of working out with a conscious effort on keeping good form versus just going for heavy weights and lots of reps. Kevin puts quality and health over quantity and it really shows in the performance of the players he works with.”

Chase Hatcher Peterborough Petes, OHL

Training such a wide spectrum of ages and abilities has given me a unique perspective on what players at each level need to do to succeed at the next.

Whether you’re the most or least skilled player on your team, following a quality training program can have a profound impact on your career.

The players lacking in natural gifts can compete at higher levels by being better prepared physically than their competition. Training is the great equalizer.

Working with the United States Women’s National Hockey Team

“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.” – Tim Notke

The naturally gifted can expand the capacities of the game by adding their incredible skill sets to a more explosive and durable frame.

Simply, you can ALWAYS get better.

Over the last 5 years, I’ve worked tirelessly to develop, test, and refine an off-ice training system that produces game-changing results.

This system has now been tested by hundreds of players training hard to not only reach the next level, but to dominate there. And now, for the first time ever, this system can be yours…

What is Ultimate Hockey Transformation?

Comprehensive hockey-specific off- and in-season training programs for U-14, U-16, U-18, Junior, and College-aged players totaling 120 weeks of programming!

An extensive video database demonstrating proper technique for every exercise included in the program

“His constant drive to develop innovative training methods will undeniably keep his programs at the top of the training spectrum.”

“As a former Junior A, Division I, and Pro hockey player, I’ve had my fair share of strength/nutrition coaches and I can honestly say none compare to the knowledge and care that Kevin Neeld brings to a team. Having the privilege to work beside Kevin for the past 4 years with Team Comcast, both at the U16 & U18 levels, I can truly testify that I have not come across another coach who has such an impact on athletes as Kevin.

His knowledge and expertise in strength training and nutrition are second to none. During his time with Team Comcast he has undoubtedly been a major contributor to helping our players achieving their goals of playing hockey at the next level.

He is a true professional who beyond a doubt cares about the development of young athletes and providing them with the proper foundation to take their playing career to an elite level. His constant drive to develop innovative training methods will undeniably keep his programs at the top of the training spectrum. “

Jeremy Hall Former Player: USHL, Div 1 UMass Lowell, and ECHL Head Coach Team Comcast U18 Director of Hockey Operations

In the Ultimate Hockey Transformation Manual alone, you’ll discover:

Why real speed training requires a lot more than just doing sprints

The specific age ranges where players can accelerate the development of specific athletic qualities

What every parent and coach needs to know about weightlifting for kids

Shocking research on hip injury risk factors in youth hockey players

The most common exercise technique flaws, and key strategies and cues to perfect technique in almost every exercise

A comprehensive guide on how to modify or replace exercises based on the equipment you have available

Specific symptoms and recovery strategies associated with the two major types of overtraining

Simple strategies to maximize your most powerful recovery tool

How very predictable asymmetries can wreak havoc on skating, shooting, and injury risk

Ever since my college career ended, I’ve been passionately working to help players exceed even their own expectations.

While I do write about hockey training, I’m not an internet expert. I don’t just sit behind a computer and spout untested theory. I have thousands of hours training hundreds of players at all levels. Training hockey players isn’t a hobby for me. It’s a passion. It’s my career. It’s the reason I’m excited to drive to work every morning.

When you train with one of my programs, you know you’re not only using a program that is built on sound scientific principles and an in-depth understanding of the game, but one that has been tested and delivers REAL results.

Results speak for themselves…

Here’s a quick snapshot of some of the results achieved using the Ultimate Hockey Transformation off-season programs:

A USHL player put on 14 lbs of lean mass

A NCAA D1 player added 4″ to his vertical jump

An OHL player added 14° of hip rotation to each hip and significantly improved hip adduction and abduction, two essential motions in the skating stride.

An NAHL player dropped a full second off his 50-yard shuttle test average and decreased his sprint decrement score by 6.6.

An NCAA D1 player improved his reverse lunge from 190 lbs x 5/side to 265 lbs x 16/side

An AHL player improved his reverse lunge from 225 lbs x 5/side, to 265 lbs x 25/side

While “individual results may vary”, this a small sample of what you can expect from following these programs.

I regularly see youth players put on 10-15 lbs of muscle, college players add 3-4″ to their vertical jumps, and players at all levels experience 20-50+% lower body strength increases, all in a single off-season.

This is not marketing hype; these are REAL results.

“…one of the top 5-6 strength and conditioning coaches in the ice hockey world.”

“In my mind Kevin Neeld is one of the top 5-6 strength and conditioning coaches in the ice hockey world. It’s not often I turn to younger coaches for advice, but Kevin is a guy I count on to be on top of all the latest info, and to use it with his athletes. ”

He truly is a great resource for anyone who trains athletes at any level.”

Pete Friesen Head Trainer/Strength & Conditioning Coach for the Carolina Hurricanes Adjunct Professor Duke University, School of Physical Therapy

“…one of my most trusted resources in the strength and conditioning field.”

“I’ve known Kevin Neeld for over six years now, and I can say without wavering that he’s one of my most trusted resources in the strength and conditioning field. I would say that it’s remarkable how far Kevin has come since he was an intern at Cressey Performance, but the truth is that we all knew he’d be a big player in this field from his tremendous work ethic, calm, personable demeanor, and genuine interest in helping athletes. I can’t recommend him enough.”

Eric Cressey President, Cressey Performance – Hudson, MA

“…if you want to be the best, he’s one that you have to train with.”

“Kevin Neeld has one of the brightest minds in performance enhancement for hockey athletes. He constantly pushes the envelope on improving himself which ultimately benefits those that he trains and works with. His ability to disseminate research and text books into practical knowledge is outstanding. I’ve implemented things that he’s written and spoken about to help my hockey athletes compete for championships. Kevin is one of the best and if you want to be the best, he’s one that you have to train with.”

Brijesh Patel Head Strength and Conditioning Coach, Quinnipiac University SBCoachesCollege.com

“He is the most knowledgeable strength/fitness specialist that I have ever met”

“Without exception, every player that I have advised to work with Kevin has thanked me for doing so. He is the most knowledgeable strength/fitness specialist that I have ever met, and this is not an accident – he relentlessly keeps himself informed about current thinking and research, and how it applies to his clients.”

Alec Schall Managing Director, Player Agency LEGACY Global Sports

“one of the preeminent Strength and Conditioning Coaches in the country.”

“Kevin Neeld is one of the preeminent Strength and Conditioning Coaches in the country. His knowledge on the latest practices in Performance Training, including the ability to utilize information from the disciplines of Strength and Conditioning, Physical Therapy, and Massage Therapy is second to none.  This allows him to offer his athletes some of the best development-based programs available. I have personally benefited a great deal from his writing and educational products and much of what I do with my athletes is a direct reflection on the education Kevin provides.”

Devan McConnell Director of Sports Performance UMass Lowell

“His products and coaching will take any hockey player to the next level.”

“I first met Kevin during my internship with Mike Boyle and the Boston University Hockey team.  Since that time Kevin has become an authority on training hockey players and helping them reach the next level.  He has accomplished this distinction with the same work ethic and attention to detail as he showed the first day we met, by continually investing in his education, visiting other coaches, and in the trenches work with hockey players from bantam to the Pro’s every day.

As the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach at Union College, I am always striving to find the best information to give my hockey teams every advantage possible.  Kevin’s products have helped shape the training and care of our hockey teams.  In addition, Kevin has personally helped two of our players during the summer prior to their freshmen year at Union.  Each athlete came in prepared and performed as well, if not better, than our upperclassmen in pre-season testing. If you are looking for a Leader in Hockey Sports Performance Training, Kevin Neeld is one of the best.  His products and coaching will take any hockey player to the next level.”

Dan Gabelman, CSCS, PES, USAW, FMS Union College, Head Strength and Conditioning Coach

The Secret Weapon of the Transformation System…

We’ve all heard the old adage, “you are what eat.”

While you may shrug this off, the nutrients you put in your body quite literally provide the building blocks for every structure within your body, from your cell walls, to bone, to muscle tissue.

I’ve had countless conversations with players that “can’t put on weight no matter what they do” despite “eating all the time”, players that feel they really struggle to lose fat, and others that feel worn down mid-season or “lose their legs” mid-game. In almost every case, there is an underlying diet or lifestyle issue that they have not addressed.

I can say with 100% confidence that the Ultimate Hockey Transformation System will improve your performance, but it’s going to be an uphill battle if you don’t go “all in” and make the necessary nutrition and lifestyle adjustments to give your body the resources it needs to adapt.

Fortunately, hockey nutrition expert Brian St. Pierre has put together a comprehensive guide for you to do just that.

Brian is not only a former player, he is an incredibly bright and innovative nutrition coach. In addition to his ongoing work with a wide range of professional and amateur athletes, Brian is also a member of Dr. John Berardi’s team contributing to one of the world’s most successful nutrition programs in Precision Nutrition.

In short, Brian knows his stuff.

And if you follow the guidelines in his Ultimate Hockey Transformation Nutrition Guide in conjunction with strictly following one of my training programs, you’ll achieve the type of results that get coaches exclaiming, “Wow! WHAT did you do this Summer?”

Inside the Ultimate Hockey Nutrition Guide, you’ll get:

High performance dietary strategies for before, during, and after training, practice, and games

Specific methods to individualize your diet based on your body type, body composition goals, and activity level

An inside look at how water, protein, fat, carbs, vitamins, and minerals function in your body and how much of these essential nutrients you need

An in-depth look at the most effective supplements

Tips and ideas to make meal preparation a breeze

Special strategies for injuries/concussions,

Kevin continually offers innovative and progressive training techniques supported by cutting edge research. He is a valued resource and his work is an integral part of our performance programs.“

Mike Elberty Hockey Strength and Conditioning Coach, St. Lawrence University

“When I am looking for ways to help my hockey players perform better on the ice…I turn to Coach Kevin Neeld.”

“Trainers who can give you a laundry list of exercises are everywhere; you have to look farther to find a true professional strength and conditioning coach. When I am looking for ways to help my hockey players perform better on the ice and reduce their risk of injury, I turn to Coach Kevin Neeld.

Kevin is constantly looking for more effective methods of both assessment and training. I am indebted to him for introducing me to the Postural Restoration Institute. While other trainers are busy arguing about why their training is the best, Kevin is out making himself (and his athletes) better and better.

So when I am searching for the ‘next thing’ for recovery, strength, speed and stability I go to Kevin’s products and articles where I always get a fresh perspective. You may not be able to train with Kevin, but any hockey player can take a giant leap forward by following his techniques.”

Maria Mountain, MSc, CSCS Certified Exercise Physiologist/Owner Revolution Sport Conditioning www.HockeyTrainingPro.com

“I have known Kevin for over three years and consider him a close friend and fine Strength Coach!  Kevin provides a unique blend of knowledge and practical application that produces both exceptional educational content for his respective audience, and tangible athletic results for his training populations.  I highly recommend Kevin’s content!”

Anthony Donskov, MS, CSCS, PES Founder: Donskov Strength & Conditioning, Inc.

“Kevin is a great resource.  He has taken the complex ideas behind posture and movement quality and made simple ways for any coach or player to apply them to training.”

Darryl Nelson, MEd, ATC Strength and Conditioning Coach, US National Team Development Program

“Over the past few months, I’ve had the pleasure of talking to Kevin directly regarding the training and rehabilitation of a few of my athletes. His insight has greatly helped me write programs to ensure these athletes came back from injury and remained healthy throughout the season. Kevin’s book has been a great resource in helping me write programs for my athletes while keeping them healthy and I will certainly continue to seek Kevin’s advice regarding strength and conditioning.“

    For the first time ever, hockey training specialist Kevin Neeld is revealing the exact training programs and methods he’s used to help players progress from the youth to professional levels!

Over the last 10 years, hockey has changed.The game is faster, and the players are quicker, stronger, and better conditioned than ever before.

Simply, as the game changes, so too must the preparation.

Unfortunately, most players don’t have access to a quality hockey-specific strength and conditioning coach or facility.

You, like many players, may have to resort to borrowing old programs handed down from your friend older sibling’s former junior or college team, or searching around the internet for exercises that internet experts claim are the best for hockey players.

Even worse, you may be following the perpetual trend of high school students to use old school body building methods that have almost no application to on-ice improvements. If Monday is “Chest Day”, I’m talking to you!

There is a monstrous disconnect between what youth, junior, and even some college players are doing and the programs of the top collegiate and professional teams.

I know, because I hear from S&C Coaches at these programs about how woefully unprepared most new players are. The reality is that most youth players:

Don’t train at all

Don’t train in any way that will help them progress on the ice

Train themselves into injury

Train themselves OUT of next-level opportunities

Fortunately, now you have an opportunity to get yourself on track, to start preparing off the ice in a way that will accelerate your on-ice development.

My name is Kevin Neeld, and I am the President of Endeavor Sports Performance, a 6,500 sq ft training facility that specializes in training hockey players outside of Philadelphia in the small town of Pitman, NJ.

You read that right; we specialize in training hockey players…in South Jersey!

In addition to being responsible for designing all of the programs for a Tier I youth organization that consistently ranks as one of the best in the country, every Summer I have a group of ~50 junior, college, and professional players that move back to the area to train.

Using specific training methods, I’ve helped players make the transition from youth to juniors,  juniors to college, and juniors or college to pro.

This is home.

“Kevin’s programs have helped me develop the speed and quickness I need to compete at the highest levels”

(Bruce Fedyck, USA TODAY Sports)

“I’ve trained with Kevin since before my first year in the USHL. As a smaller guy, having the ability to create time and space has been crucial to my success. Kevin’s programs have helped me develop the speed and quickness I need to compete at the highest levels, and the conditioning to continue pushing the pace late in games.  If you’re looking to fulfill your potential on the ice, Kevin is the guy to help you get there.”Johnny “Hockey” Gaudreau Calgary Flames, NHL 2015 NHL All-Star 2014 Hobey Baker Winner

“Kevin has been a major factor in helping me excel at the professional level.”

“As a professional athlete, training with Kevin has given me the guidance and programs to train at an elite level. Over the past 5 years I continue to learn more about my body and how far it can be pushed. Through his programs I have seen significant gains that I have noticed on and off the ice. His attention to detail has helped me maintain my body and prevent injuries. I can honestly say Kevin has been a major factor in helping me excel at the professional level.”

Eric Tangradi Winnipeg Jets, NHL

“I have spent the last 5 years training with Kevin. In that time, we have done everything from off-ice training, nutrition planning, soft-tissue, deep tissue, and hip capsule mobilization work, and more. I have always been very particular in my training and have had a lot of injuries and structural limitations in my body that I’ve needed to work around. This hasn’t affected my training one bit, as Kevin has individualized and altered my programs to fit my specific needs. I have worked with some of the “top” people in the world, and can honestly say that Kevin stands above the rest.”

Colby Cohen Providence Bruins, AHL

“I give 100% credit to my off-season program.“

“Ever since I started working out with Kevin at Endeavor, I have done nothing but get better. He taught me the right way to train. Every goal I’ve set for myself to translate on the ice, I’ve hit, and I give 100% credit to my off-season program. I won’t train with anyone else!”

Anthony DeAngelo Sarnia Sting, OHL

“You will see…how committed he is to making you into a better player than you had imagined.”

“Kevin Neeld’s dedication to the sport of hockey is the driving force behind his success and the success of his athletes. Every aspect of his work is specialized to the individual needs of his athletes. His passion has allowed me to reach new heights I would not have been able to achieve without him, at the collegiate and professional level. My individual programs have made me into a more complete player. On the ice, I feel like I am a more balanced player. Every aspect of my game has seen improvement: speed, agility, cardio, and strength. As a smaller player, I am never outmatched physically.If you want to compete on the ice with the best, you have to train off the ice with the best. Kevin has proven himself as one of the elite trainers in the nation. You will see from Day One how detailed his work is and how committed he is to making you into a better player than you had imagined.”Jeff Buvinow Brown University, NCAA D1 Arizona Sundogs, CHL

“I would not be playing where I am without him.”

“After training with Kevin Neeld for several years now, I can say without a doubt that I would not be playing where I am without him. Hockey is a sport that is constantly changing and Kevin has mastered the ability to evolve his training programs to give each individual exactly what they need to perform at their best on and off the ice.

Kevin has pushed me to accomplish goals that I didn’t think possible. My speed and explosiveness, along with the conditioning on the ice were dramatically improved after starting with Kevin. Kevin’s knowledge has helped in my training in ways I didn’t know existed when first starting with him. Along with great weight lifting programs, he includes corrective exercises to meet each individual’s needs. These go a long way in keeping us healthy and injury free during a long season.”

Buddy Robinson Lake Superior State, NCAA D1 Binghamton Senators, AHL

“There is a reason I made the four hour round-trip drive to train with Kevin during my off-season.  His innovative and scientifically-backed training programs helped bring my on-ice performance to the next level.  Not only did my overall athleticism and confidence on the ice improve, but his thorough knowledge of the body helped rid me of nagging injuries that have hindered my performance during past seasons.  That his knowledge is now readily accessible online will surely benefit hockey players and athletes at all levels throughout the world.”

Jack Walchessen Peterborough Petes, OHL

“If I hadn’t trained with Kevin, I might not have reached my goal of playing professional hockey.”

“Training with Kevin has taken me from a Division 3 to an ECHL hockey player. He has personalized my workouts to strengthen areas that had been injured or never been appropriately trained. If I hadn’t trained with Kevin I might not have reached my goal of playing professional hockey.”

Michael Gershon Wheeling Nailers, ECHL

“Working with Kevin has shown me the importance of maintaining an overall healthy body. From subtle adjustments to my breathing and posture, he has helped me become more aware of the effects of working out with a conscious effort on keeping good form versus just going for heavy weights and lots of reps. Kevin puts quality and health over quantity and it really shows in the performance of the players he works with.”

Chase Hatcher Peterborough Petes, OHL

Training such a wide spectrum of ages and abilities has given me a unique perspective on what players at each level need to do to succeed at the next.

Whether you’re the most or least skilled player on your team, following a quality training program can have a profound impact on your career.

The players lacking in natural gifts can compete at higher levels by being better prepared physically than their competition. Training is the great equalizer.

Working with the United States Women’s National Hockey Team

“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.” – Tim Notke

The naturally gifted can expand the capacities of the game by adding their incredible skill sets to a more explosive and durable frame.

Simply, you can ALWAYS get better.

Over the last 5 years, I’ve worked tirelessly to develop, test, and refine an off-ice training system that produces game-changing results.

This system has now been tested by hundreds of players training hard to not only reach the next level, but to dominate there. And now, for the first time ever, this system can be yours…

What is Ultimate Hockey Transformation?

Comprehensive hockey-specific off- and in-season training programs for U-14, U-16, U-18, Junior, and College-aged players totaling 120 weeks of programming!

An extensive video database demonstrating proper technique for every exercise included in the program

A systematic testing battery to track and monitor your training progress over time

A recovery monitoring system to ensure you’re progressing through your training while fending off overtraining symptoms

A 61-page manual that provides all of the supporting information you need to successfully train using this system!

“His constant drive to develop innovative training methods will undeniably keep his programs at the top of the training spectrum.”

“As a former Junior A, Division I, and Pro hockey player, I’ve had my fair share of strength/nutrition coaches and I can honestly say none compare to the knowledge and care that Kevin Neeld brings to a team. Having the privilege to work beside Kevin for the past 4 years with Team Comcast, both at the U16 & U18 levels, I can truly testify that I have not come across another coach who has such an impact on athletes as Kevin.

His knowledge and expertise in strength training and nutrition are second to none. During his time with Team Comcast he has undoubtedly been a major contributor to helping our players achieving their goals of playing hockey at the next level.

He is a true professional who beyond a doubt cares about the development of young athletes and providing them with the proper foundation to take their playing career to an elite level. His constant drive to develop innovative training methods will undeniably keep his programs at the top of the training spectrum. “

Jeremy Hall Former Player: USHL, Div 1 UMass Lowell, and ECHL Head Coach Team Comcast U18 Director of Hockey Operations

In the Ultimate Hockey Transformation Manual alone, you’ll discover:

Why real speed training requires a lot more than just doing sprints

The specific age ranges where players can accelerate the development of specific athletic qualities

What every parent and coach needs to know about weightlifting for kids

Shocking research on hip injury risk factors in youth hockey players

The most common exercise technique flaws, and key strategies and cues to perfect technique in almost every exercise

A comprehensive guide on how to modify or replace exercises based on the equipment you have available

Specific symptoms and recovery strategies associated with the two major types of overtraining

Simple strategies to maximize your most powerful recovery tool

How very predictable asymmetries can wreak havoc on skating, shooting, and injury risk

Ever since my college career ended, I’ve been passionately working to help players exceed even their own expectations.

While I do write about hockey training, I’m not an internet expert. I don’t just sit behind a computer and spout untested theory. I have thousands of hours training hundreds of players at all levels. Training hockey players isn’t a hobby for me. It’s a passion. It’s my career. It’s the reason I’m excited to drive to work every morning.

When you train with one of my programs, you know you’re not only using a program that is built on sound scientific principles and an in-depth understanding of the game, but one that has been tested and delivers REAL results.

Results speak for themselves…

Here’s a quick snapshot of some of the results achieved using the Ultimate Hockey Transformation off-season programs:

A USHL player put on 14 lbs of lean mass

A NCAA D1 player added 4″ to his vertical jump

An OHL player added 14° of hip rotation to each hip and significantly improved hip adduction and abduction, two essential motions in the skating stride.

An NAHL player dropped a full second off his 50-yard shuttle test average and decreased his sprint decrement score by 6.6.

An NCAA D1 player improved his reverse lunge from 190 lbs x 5/side to 265 lbs x 16/side

An AHL player improved his reverse lunge from 225 lbs x 5/side, to 265 lbs x 25/side

While “individual results may vary”, this a small sample of what you can expect from following these programs.

I regularly see youth players put on 10-15 lbs of muscle, college players add 3-4″ to their vertical jumps, and players at all levels experience 20-50+% lower body strength increases, all in a single off-season.

This is not marketing hype; these are REAL results.

I can’t recommend him enough.”

Kevin is one of the best and if you want to be the best, he’s one that you have to train with.”

Brijesh Patel Head Strength and Conditioning Coach, Quinnipiac University SBCoachesCollege.com

“He is the most knowledgeable strength/fitness specialist that I have ever met”

“Without exception, every player that I have advised to work with Kevin has thanked me for doing so. He is the most knowledgeable strength/fitness specialist that I have ever met, and this is not an accident – he relentlessly keeps himself informed about current thinking and research, and how it applies to his clients.”

Alec Schall Managing Director, Player Agency LEGACY Global Sports

“one of the preeminent Strength and Conditioning Coaches in the country.”

“Kevin Neeld is one of the preeminent Strength and Conditioning Coaches in the country.

I have personally benefited a great deal from his writing and educational products and much of what I do with my athletes is a direct reflection on the education Kevin provides.”

Devan McConnell Director of Sports Performance UMass Lowell

“His products and coaching will take any hockey player to the next level.”

“I first met Kevin during my internship with Mike Boyle and the Boston University Hockey team.  Since that time Kevin has become an authority on training hockey players and helping them reach the next level.  He has accomplished this distinction with the same work ethic and attention to detail as he showed the first day we met, by continually investing in his education, visiting other coaches, and in the trenches work with hockey players from bantam to the Pro’s every day.

As the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach at Union College, I am always striving to find the best information to give my hockey teams every advantage possible.  Kevin’s products have helped shape the training and care of our hockey teams.  In addition, Kevin has personally helped two of our players during the summer prior to their freshmen year at Union.  Each athlete came in prepared and performed as well, if not better, than our upperclassmen in pre-season testing. If you are looking for a Leader in Hockey Sports Performance Training, Kevin Neeld is one of the best.  His products and coaching will take any hockey player to the next level.”

The Secret Weapon of the Transformation System…

We’ve all heard the old adage, “you are what eat.”

While you may shrug this off, the nutrients you put in your body quite literally provide the building blocks for every structure within your body, from your cell walls, to bone, to muscle tissue.

I’ve had countless conversations with players that “can’t put on weight no matter what they do” despite “eating all the time”, players that feel they really struggle to lose fat, and others that feel worn down mid-season or “lose their legs” mid-game. In almost every case, there is an underlying diet or lifestyle issue that they have not addressed.

I can say with 100% confidence that the Ultimate Hockey Transformation System will improve your performance, but it’s going to be an uphill battle if you don’t go “all in” and make the necessary nutrition and lifestyle adjustments to give your body the resources it needs to adapt.

Fortunately, hockey nutrition expert Brian St. Pierre has put together a comprehensive guide for you to do just that.

Brian is not only a former player, he is an incredibly bright and innovative nutrition coach. In addition to his ongoing work with a wide range of professional and amateur athletes, Brian is also a member of Dr. John Berardi’s team contributing to one of the world’s most successful nutrition programs in Precision Nutrition.

In short, Brian knows his stuff.

And if you follow the guidelines in his Ultimate Hockey Transformation Nutrition Guide in conjunction with strictly following one of my training programs, you’ll achieve the type of results that get coaches exclaiming, “Wow! WHAT did you do this Summer?”

Inside the Ultimate Hockey Nutrition Guide, you’ll get:

High performance dietary strategies for before, during, and after training, practice, and games

Specific methods to individualize your diet based on your body type, body composition goals, and activity level

An inside look at how water, protein, fat, carbs, vitamins, and minerals function in your body and how much of these essential nutrients you need

An in-depth look at the most effective supplements

Tips and ideas to make meal preparation a breeze

Special strategies for injuries/concussions,

How to recognize if you have food intolerances/allergies and what to do about it

    For the first time ever, hockey training specialist Kevin Neeld is revealing the exact training programs and methods he’s used to help players progress from the youth to professional levels!

Over the last 10 years, hockey has changed.The game is faster, and the players are quicker, stronger, and better conditioned than ever before.

Simply, as the game changes, so too must the preparation.

Unfortunately, most players don’t have access to a quality hockey-specific strength and conditioning coach or facility.

You, like many players, may have to resort to borrowing old programs handed down from your friend older sibling’s former junior or college team, or searching around the internet for exercises that internet experts claim are the best for hockey players.

Even worse, you may be following the perpetual trend of high school students to use old school body building methods that have almost no application to on-ice improvements. If Monday is “Chest Day”, I’m talking to you!

There is a monstrous disconnect between what youth, junior, and even some college players are doing and the programs of the top collegiate and professional teams.

I know, because I hear from S&C Coaches at these programs about how woefully unprepared most new players are. The reality is that most youth players:

Don’t train at all

Don’t train in any way that will help them progress on the ice

Train themselves into injury

Train themselves OUT of next-level opportunities

Fortunately, now you have an opportunity to get yourself on track, to start preparing off the ice in a way that will accelerate your on-ice development.

My name is Kevin Neeld, and I am the President of Endeavor Sports Performance, a 6,500 sq ft training facility that specializes in training hockey players outside of Philadelphia in the small town of Pitman, NJ.

You read that right; we specialize in training hockey players…in South Jersey!

In addition to being responsible for designing all of the programs for a Tier I youth organization that consistently ranks as one of the best in the country, every Summer I have a group of ~50 junior, college, and professional players that move back to the area to train.

Using specific training methods, I’ve helped players make the transition from youth to juniors,  juniors to college, and juniors or college to pro.

This is home.

“Kevin’s programs have helped me develop the speed and quickness I need to compete at the highest levels”

(Bruce Fedyck, USA TODAY Sports)

“I’ve trained with Kevin since before my first year in the USHL. As a smaller guy, having the ability to create time and space has been crucial to my success. Kevin’s programs have helped me develop the speed and quickness I need to compete at the highest levels, and the conditioning to continue pushing the pace late in games.  If you’re looking to fulfill your potential on the ice, Kevin is the guy to help you get there.”Johnny “Hockey” Gaudreau Calgary Flames, NHL 2015 NHL All-Star 2014 Hobey Baker Winner

“Kevin has been a major factor in helping me excel at the professional level.”

“As a professional athlete, training with Kevin has given me the guidance and programs to train at an elite level. Over the past 5 years I continue to learn more about my body and how far it can be pushed. Through his programs I have seen significant gains that I have noticed on and off the ice. His attention to detail has helped me maintain my body and prevent injuries. I can honestly say Kevin has been a major factor in helping me excel at the professional level.”

Eric Tangradi Winnipeg Jets, NHL

“I have spent the last 5 years training with Kevin. In that time, we have done everything from off-ice training, nutrition planning, soft-tissue, deep tissue, and hip capsule mobilization work, and more. I have always been very particular in my training and have had a lot of injuries and structural limitations in my body that I’ve needed to work around. This hasn’t affected my training one bit, as Kevin has individualized and altered my programs to fit my specific needs. I have worked with some of the “top” people in the world, and can honestly say that Kevin stands above the rest.”

Colby Cohen Providence Bruins, AHL

“I give 100% credit to my off-season program.“

“Ever since I started working out with Kevin at Endeavor, I have done nothing but get better. He taught me the right way to train. Every goal I’ve set for myself to translate on the ice, I’ve hit, and I give 100% credit to my off-season program. I won’t train with anyone else!”

Anthony DeAngelo Sarnia Sting, OHL

“You will see…how committed he is to making you into a better player than you had imagined.”

“Kevin Neeld’s dedication to the sport of hockey is the driving force behind his success and the success of his athletes. Every aspect of his work is specialized to the individual needs of his athletes. His passion has allowed me to reach new heights I would not have been able to achieve without him, at the collegiate and professional level. My individual programs have made me into a more complete player. On the ice, I feel like I am a more balanced player. Every aspect of my game has seen improvement: speed, agility, cardio, and strength. As a smaller player, I am never outmatched physically.If you want to compete on the ice with the best, you have to train off the ice with the best. Kevin has proven himself as one of the elite trainers in the nation. You will see from Day One how detailed his work is and how committed he is to making you into a better player than you had imagined.”Jeff Buvinow Brown University, NCAA D1 Arizona Sundogs, CHL

“I would not be playing where I am without him.”

“After training with Kevin Neeld for several years now, I can say without a doubt that I would not be playing where I am without him. Hockey is a sport that is constantly changing and Kevin has mastered the ability to evolve his training programs to give each individual exactly what they need to perform at their best on and off the ice.

Kevin has pushed me to accomplish goals that I didn’t think possible. My speed and explosiveness, along with the conditioning on the ice were dramatically improved after starting with Kevin. Kevin’s knowledge has helped in my training in ways I didn’t know existed when first starting with him. Along with great weight lifting programs, he includes corrective exercises to meet each individual’s needs. These go a long way in keeping us healthy and injury free during a long season.”

Buddy Robinson Lake Superior State, NCAA D1 Binghamton Senators, AHL

“There is a reason I made the four hour round-trip drive to train with Kevin during my off-season.  His innovative and scientifically-backed training programs helped bring my on-ice performance to the next level.  Not only did my overall athleticism and confidence on the ice improve, but his thorough knowledge of the body helped rid me of nagging injuries that have hindered my performance during past seasons.  That his knowledge is now readily accessible online will surely benefit hockey players and athletes at all levels throughout the world.”

Jack Walchessen Peterborough Petes, OHL

“If I hadn’t trained with Kevin, I might not have reached my goal of playing professional hockey.”

“Training with Kevin has taken me from a Division 3 to an ECHL hockey player. He has personalized my workouts to strengthen areas that had been injured or never been appropriately trained. If I hadn’t trained with Kevin I might not have reached my goal of playing professional hockey.”

Michael Gershon Wheeling Nailers, ECHL

“Working with Kevin has shown me the importance of maintaining an overall healthy body. From subtle adjustments to my breathing and posture, he has helped me become more aware of the effects of working out with a conscious effort on keeping good form versus just going for heavy weights and lots of reps. Kevin puts quality and health over quantity and it really shows in the performance of the players he works with.”

Chase Hatcher Peterborough Petes, OHL

Training such a wide spectrum of ages and abilities has given me a unique perspective on what players at each level need to do to succeed at the next.

Whether you’re the most or least skilled player on your team, following a quality training program can have a profound impact on your career.

The players lacking in natural gifts can compete at higher levels by being better prepared physically than their competition. Training is the great equalizer.

Working with the United States Women’s National Hockey Team

“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.” – Tim Notke

The naturally gifted can expand the capacities of the game by adding their incredible skill sets to a more explosive and durable frame.

Simply, you can ALWAYS get better.

Over the last 5 years, I’ve worked tirelessly to develop, test, and refine an off-ice training system that produces game-changing results.

This system has now been tested by hundreds of players training hard to not only reach the next level, but to dominate there. And now, for the first time ever, this system can be yours…

What is Ultimate Hockey Transformation?

Comprehensive hockey-specific off- and in-season training programs for U-14, U-16, U-18, Junior, and College-aged players totaling 120 weeks of programming!

An extensive video database demonstrating proper technique for every exercise included in the program

“His constant drive to develop innovative training methods will undeniably keep his programs at the top of the training spectrum.”

“As a former Junior A, Division I, and Pro hockey player, I’ve had my fair share of strength/nutrition coaches and I can honestly say none compare to the knowledge and care that Kevin Neeld brings to a team. Having the privilege to work beside Kevin for the past 4 years with Team Comcast, both at the U16 & U18 levels, I can truly testify that I have not come across another coach who has such an impact on athletes as Kevin.

His knowledge and expertise in strength training and nutrition are second to none. During his time with Team Comcast he has undoubtedly been a major contributor to helping our players achieving their goals of playing hockey at the next level.

He is a true professional who beyond a doubt cares about the development of young athletes and providing them with the proper foundation to take their playing career to an elite level. His constant drive to develop innovative training methods will undeniably keep his programs at the top of the training spectrum. “

Jeremy Hall Former Player: USHL, Div 1 UMass Lowell, and ECHL Head Coach Team Comcast U18 Director of Hockey Operations

In the Ultimate Hockey Transformation Manual alone, you’ll discover:

Why real speed training requires a lot more than just doing sprints

The specific age ranges where players can accelerate the development of specific athletic qualities

What every parent and coach needs to know about weightlifting for kids

Shocking research on hip injury risk factors in youth hockey players

The most common exercise technique flaws, and key strategies and cues to perfect technique in almost every exercise

A comprehensive guide on how to modify or replace exercises based on the equipment you have available

Specific symptoms and recovery strategies associated with the two major types of overtraining

Simple strategies to maximize your most powerful recovery tool

How very predictable asymmetries can wreak havoc on skating, shooting, and injury risk

Ever since my college career ended, I’ve been passionately working to help players exceed even their own expectations.

While I do write about hockey training, I’m not an internet expert. I don’t just sit behind a computer and spout untested theory. I have thousands of hours training hundreds of players at all levels. Training hockey players isn’t a hobby for me. It’s a passion. It’s my career. It’s the reason I’m excited to drive to work every morning.

When you train with one of my programs, you know you’re not only using a program that is built on sound scientific principles and an in-depth understanding of the game, but one that has been tested and delivers REAL results.

Results speak for themselves…

Here’s a quick snapshot of some of the results achieved using the Ultimate Hockey Transformation off-season programs:

A USHL player put on 14 lbs of lean mass

A NCAA D1 player added 4″ to his vertical jump

An OHL player added 14° of hip rotation to each hip and significantly improved hip adduction and abduction, two essential motions in the skating stride.

An NAHL player dropped a full second off his 50-yard shuttle test average and decreased his sprint decrement score by 6.6.

An NCAA D1 player improved his reverse lunge from 190 lbs x 5/side to 265 lbs x 16/side

An AHL player improved his reverse lunge from 225 lbs x 5/side, to 265 lbs x 25/side

While “individual results may vary”, this a small sample of what you can expect from following these programs.

I regularly see youth players put on 10-15 lbs of muscle, college players add 3-4″ to their vertical jumps, and players at all levels experience 20-50+% lower body strength increases, all in a single off-season.

This is not marketing hype; these are REAL results.

I can’t recommend him enough.”

Kevin is one of the best and if you want to be the best, he’s one that you have to train with.”

Brijesh Patel Head Strength and Conditioning Coach, Quinnipiac University SBCoachesCollege.com

“one of the preeminent Strength and Conditioning Coaches in the country.”

“Kevin Neeld is one of the preeminent Strength and Conditioning Coaches in the country.

Devan McConnell Director of Sports Performance UMass Lowell

“His products and coaching will take any hockey player to the next level.”

“I first met Kevin during my internship with Mike Boyle and the Boston University Hockey team.  Since that time Kevin has become an authority on training hockey players and helping them reach the next level.  He has accomplished this distinction with the same work ethic and attention to detail as he showed the first day we met, by continually investing in his education, visiting other coaches, and in the trenches work with hockey players from bantam to the Pro’s every day.

As the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach at Union College, I am always striving to find the best information to give my hockey teams every advantage possible.  Kevin’s products have helped shape the training and care of our hockey teams.  In addition, Kevin has personally helped two of our players during the summer prior to their freshmen year at Union.  Each athlete came in prepared and performed as well, if not better, than our upperclassmen in pre-season testing. If you are looking for a Leader in Hockey Sports Performance Training, Kevin Neeld is one of the best.  His products and coaching will take any hockey player to the next level.”

The Secret Weapon of the Transformation System…

We’ve all heard the old adage, “you are what eat.”

While you may shrug this off, the nutrients you put in your body quite literally provide the building blocks for every structure within your body, from your cell walls, to bone, to muscle tissue.

I’ve had countless conversations with players that “can’t put on weight no matter what they do” despite “eating all the time”, players that feel they really struggle to lose fat, and others that feel worn down mid-season or “lose their legs” mid-game. In almost every case, there is an underlying diet or lifestyle issue that they have not addressed.

I can say with 100% confidence that the Ultimate Hockey Transformation System will improve your performance, but it’s going to be an uphill battle if you don’t go “all in” and make the necessary nutrition and lifestyle adjustments to give your body the resources it needs to adapt.

Fortunately, hockey nutrition expert Brian St. Pierre has put together a comprehensive guide for you to do just that.

Brian is not only a former player, he is an incredibly bright and innovative nutrition coach. In addition to his ongoing work with a wide range of professional and amateur athletes, Brian is also a member of Dr. John Berardi’s team contributing to one of the world’s most successful nutrition programs in Precision Nutrition.

In short, Brian knows his stuff.

And if you follow the guidelines in his Ultimate Hockey Transformation Nutrition Guide in conjunction with strictly following one of my training programs, you’ll achieve the type of results that get coaches exclaiming, “Wow! WHAT did you do this Summer?”

Inside the Ultimate Hockey Nutrition Guide, you’ll get:

High performance dietary strategies for before, during, and after training, practice, and games

Specific methods to individualize your diet based on your body type, body composition goals, and activity level

An inside look at how water, protein, fat, carbs, vitamins, and minerals function in your body and how much of these essential nutrients you need

An in-depth look at the most effective supplements

Tips and ideas to make meal preparation a breeze

Special strategies for injuries/concussions,

Dan Boothby MS. CSCS Director of Strength and Conditioning, Northeastern University

“…they always come into camp healthy, well-conditioned, and prepared for the rigors of college hockey.”

“Kevin has continued to be one of the foremost thinkers and resources when it comes to training the hockey athlete. I value the information, ideas, and products that he has shared with his fellow colleagues in the field. I’m also very lucky that some of our athletes have the ability to train with Kevin in the off-season, as they always come into camp healthy, well-conditioned, and prepared for the rigors of college hockey.”

Mike Kamal Director of Strength and Conditioning, Merrimack College

Mike Elberty Hockey Strength and Conditioning Coach, St. Lawrence University

“When I am looking for ways to help my hockey players perform better on the ice…I turn to Coach Kevin Neeld.”

“Trainers who can give you a laundry list of exercises are everywhere; you have to look farther to find a true professional strength and conditioning coach. When I am looking for ways to help my hockey players perform better on the ice and reduce their risk of injury, I turn to Coach Kevin Neeld.

Kevin is constantly looking for more effective methods of both assessment and training. I am indebted to him for introducing me to the Postural Restoration Institute. While other trainers are busy arguing about why their training is the best, Kevin is out making himself (and his athletes) better and better.

So when I am searching for the ‘next thing’ for recovery, strength, speed and stability I go to Kevin’s products and articles where I always get a fresh perspective. You may not be able to train with Kevin, but any hockey player can take a giant leap forward by following his techniques.”

Maria Mountain, MSc, CSCS Certified Exercise Physiologist/Owner Revolution Sport Conditioning www.HockeyTrainingPro.com

“Kevin is a great resource.  He has taken the complex ideas behind posture and movement quality and made simple ways for any coach or player to apply them to training.”

Darryl Nelson, MEd, ATC Strength and Conditioning Coach, US National Team Development Program

“Over the past few months, I’ve had the pleasure of talking to Kevin directly regarding the training and rehabilitation of a few of my athletes.

Kevin’s book has been a great resource in helping me write programs for my athletes while keeping them healthy and I will certainly continue to seek Kevin’s advice regarding strength and conditioning.“
