When you grow up surrounded by hockey players you know one thing for sure: you should never settle down with one. And I was never going to. Heck, I didnât even know what icing was. I was too busy climbing the corporate ladder, becoming one of the most successful realtors in New York City.
I wasnât interested in dating or anything that got in my way. First, he was my client, and then he became my friend.

My parents told me I skated before I walked. When I was eighteen, I was drafted into the NHL third overall, playing in Los Angelesâthe city of dreams. What more could I ask for? I played hard, but eventually, I partied even harder.
Five years later, I was traded a week after I entered rehab. There was no time for anything except my health and making sure Iâd come out on top. I had to be better. There wasnât another option.
One of the rules of recovery was âdonât fall in love,â and I made it a top priority. She was off-limits in every single wayâŚuntil it was too late. One night, one decision, one act can derail everything.
