My heart does a triple axel in my chest as I step into the frigid embrace
of Ashville College’s hockey arena. First day jitters skate circles around my
stomach, but excitement pumps through my veins like adrenaline before a
big game. It’s a cocktail of emotions, but I’m ready to drink it down. Sure,
Ashville, Minnesota isn’t exactly everyone; idea of a great place to start a
sports career, but my hometown holds its own.

Senior year. This internship is one of the only things between me and
fulfilling my degree requirements. I’m so ready.
“Okay, Lexi,” I mutter to myself, “time to make ’em proud.”
With every stride across the gleaming concourse, I can feel the ghosts of
hockey legends past whispering in my ear, reminding me this is where I
belong. I breathe in the familiar scent of cold air mixed with the faint musk
of Zamboni exhaust—smells like potential.
I don’t waste time. The layout of the arena unfolds before me like one of
those schematic diagrams my dad used to draw up for game plays. To the
left, the locker rooms with their promise of sweaty gear and strategy talks;
straight ahead, the training rooms humming with the reminders of rehabbed
injuries; and beyond that, the rink itself—a shimmering expanse of ice that’s
seen more slice than a pizzeria on game night.
“Home sweet home,” I say under my breath, a smirk playing at the
corner of my mouth.
I imagine Dad’s voice coaching me through this moment, the same way
he did when I laced up my first pair of skates. “Keep your head up, Lexi.
Eyes on the play.” It’s a mantra for hockey and, as it turns out, life.
The arena is quiet now, though the whole Ashville Aces team is either
on the ice or leaning on the outside of the boards—the calm before the
storm of stick-clashing and puck-slapping practice. I take a mental snapshot
of each player, though they are small from where I’m at in the stands, and
each area, storing them in my mind next to all the sports medicine
knowledge I’ve been hoarding for years. This isn’t just some internship. It’s
the first shift of the rest of my career, and I want to be ready for anything.
“Show them what you’re made of, Turner,” I pep-talk myself, brushing a
loose strand of hair back into my ponytail as I start down the steps toward
the rink.
