Alex Price is the headline‑stealing captain of the Houston Hell Hounds and hopes to lift the Stanley Cup. Aged nineteen, he has talent, drive and an anxiety disorder that keeps him on his therapist’s speed dial. Alex is also living openly as a gay athlete.\n\nEli (Elijah) Rodriguez, 18, is a once‑promising figure skater whose Olympic dreams ended after an accident that left him with a seizure disorder. He now works as a popular vlogger and is a freshman in college. In addition to his new life, he is dating Alex.\n\nThe two are happy together, but only Alex is publicly out. Their visible partnership has sparked attention, and they plan to make their relationship public at the end of the season, ideally with a Stanley Cup in hand. A fan, however, forces the couple into a precarious situation when they are outed right before the Hell Hounds’ playoff run.
