Challenge | Adam Banks

" Seriously, Park, why do you have to challenge every single thing that comes out of my mouth? "

" No one else seems to, and I'm sick of people like you saying and doing whatever they want. "

Delanie Park hates one very specific group of people -- and with very good reason. Having a super-star brother who could do no wrong as long as he was playing his parents' favorite sport made Delanie the family's black sheep. Being forced to spend countless hours with his dirty, idiotic teammates left a great distaste in her mouth. Too often she was put on the back burner thanks to Jett's favorite pass-time. Being second best all because of a sport certainly left her with a stinging bitterness.

Maybe it wasn't right to generalize, but she couldn't quite force herself to care. As far as she was concerned, hockey -- and more specifically, hockey players -- was just bad news.

She just hated hockey.
