It was your dream to play for the NHL, and you finally did. Your first game was playing against your best friend from your childhood. The two of you grew up next to each other in Sweden and were inseparable until he went to play juniors.

You talked to him during warm ups, cracking jokes before you had to get serious.

"Good luck in your first game." He told you before he left the ice.

Everything was going great until you were checked and were slow to get up. Jesper jumped onto the ice and rushed to your side.

"Are you okay? Do you need something? Go get checked by the trainer."

You laughed and finally got to your feet. "If I have to get looked at by the trainer after every check, I'm not going to make it long in this league. It just knocked the wind out of me. I'll get used to it." You brushed him off and went to the bench.  "Yeah, I'm fine coach. Just didn't expect it to hurt that much."

After the game you met up with Jesper for drinks. "You scared me there."

"Next game I'll get up faster. Just have to get used to playing with the boys."

"After playing with me and my friends you should know how to."
