Proving Everyone Wrong
Nine
---Jon’s POV---
I had just gotten back to Chicago from my trip to UND and went straight to the United Center for practice. I parked and walked in and went right to my stall and started getting ready.
“Hey how was the trip?” Sharpie asked.
“Oh yeah it went really well. It was awesome to be back there again. Did you know they are playing here in Chicago in a few days? I’m going to go to the game if any of you guys want to join.”
A couple of the guys agreed and then Kaner looked at me grinning ear to ear and asked, “So now that you’ve seen her, what is she one-ten? Or are you going to make me wait until I meet her and rate her for myself?” a couple of the guys rolled their eyes but waited for my answer anyways. I just sighed and continued to get ready.
I was the first one ready and started to head out but right before I left the locker room and turned around and said, “Hey Kaner.” I waited until he looked up at me and said “Yeah?” before I said, “She’s a complete ten.” He grinned ear to ear and I headed out to the ice.
---Meg’s POV---
When we finally made it to Chicago I was so excited I was basically bouncing up and down in my seat and the guys thought it was hysterical. I honestly could care less at this point because all I wanted to do was get off this God damned bus and get to Rosie’s apartment since Coach had given me special permission to stay with her while we were here instead of at the hotel with the rest of the team. He had said “As long as you get to everything on time I don’t see anything wrong with it.” And those words had made everything one-hundred percent more exciting.
Rosie was waiting for me at the hotel and I could see her standing in the lobby as we started piling off the bus. I pushed Greg out of the way and ran into the lobby and Rosie squealed and came running up to me and gave me the biggest hug ever which I gladly returned equally.
“OH. MAH. GAHD. I. CAN. NOT. BELIEVE YOU ARE ACTUALLY HERE!!!” Rosie was speaking so fast and so high pitched it was hilarious.
“I know Rose! I’m so excited! We have so much catching up to do!” by this point most of the guys were getting their room keys and starting to head up to their rooms they all said goodnight to me and Rosie as they passed. I said good night to Coach before being dragged out of the hotel by Rosie. We got into her car and headed straight to her apartment.
When we got there we both got changed and then crashed on her couch with a cup of tea each and started talking. After talking for about an hour, the dreaded boyfriend discussion finally came up.
“So which one of those hot boys that passed us are you dating?” Rosie inquired wiggling her eyebrows before taking a sip of her tea. I sighed before replying, “Rose, I’m not interested in dating any of them so chill.”
“WHAT!?!?!?!? You have a ton of hot guys just sitting in front of you and you’re not even going to go after them??? What in the actual hell is wrong with you? Have you gotten to many pucks to the head or some shit like that?” she said in shock.
I laughed before explaining how I don’t like dating teammates because it makes everything far too complicated and last time I did that it became a really big issue and almost ruined the team. Eventually we went to bed since I had practice early the next morning.

When I woke up the next morning I got ready and Rosie came down to practice with me and watched. Afterwards we went out to lunch and did some shopping before I had to head back to the rink for the game. When I walked into the locker room the guys were running around franticly.
“Tray what’s going on?” I asked our captain since he seemed the calmest, but on a closer look he might have actually been the most nervous.
“The entire Chicago Blackhawks team, coaching staff, and managing crew are here tonight. Basically the entire Blackhawks organization.”
I knew this was big for a lot of the guys since we only had a few more games and then hopefully the frozen four before draft day. So naturally the nerves were extremely high for both teams throughout the entire game. Since I had nothing to worry about I wasn’t nervous and I played my best game of the season (points wise at least) notching 7 goals and one assist.
---Jon’s POV---
It ended up being a lot more than just a few of the guys that showed up to the game. By a lot I mean everyone and by everyone I mean the entire freaking organization. The game ended up going extremely well for UND, in particular Meg who managed 7 goals and one assist. We ended up waiting until most of the arena cleared out before we headed out and just as we were about to leave a couple of the UND players came back out through the rink and climbed up into the stands and started sprinting up and down the stairs. We watched them exercise for a little bit before some of us went over to them and introduced ourselves. Kaner instantly started flirting with Meg who immediately flirted back.
“If you ever end up in Chicago again don’t bother paying for a hotel, you can stay with me” he said with a wink as he handed her his number.
She grinned and took the number before quipping back, “Oh don’t worry I would never dream of paying for a hotel when I have someone so amazing that lives here who would let me stay with them.” The guys on her team and ours stood there in complete shock before she added, “Her name is Rosie and I stayed with her last night. But if I ever get lost in Chicago I’ll be sure to give you a call because she sucks at directions.” She winked and then turned and walked away. Everyone started laughing hysterically as Kaner just stood there trying to register that she had been leading him on this entire time and that he had just been shot down.
