Season's Change
Benji Bryzinski is a confident, out, rookie NHL winger who has never bothered to hide who he is, and Olly Järvinen is the Finnish team veteran who has spent his entire career hiding. When they end up billeted in the same Philadelphia apartment during Benji's first pro season, the proximity forces Olly to confront a closet he has kept locked through a marriage, a divorce, and fifteen years of locker rooms. As the season grinds on, the two trade drills, recipes, and a slow-building, carefully-kept thing that could cost Olly his team standing and his custody arrangement if it surfaces. Cait Nary's 2022 debut in the Carolina Comets-adjacent hockey romance space leans into the age-gap dynamic, explicit heat, and a grown-up reckoning with what it means to come out late.
