The unexpected twist in the original plans for the team and their training season was not exactly the most ideal, but it couldn’t be helped. There wasn’t really much in the way of options for ice rinks so it came down to having no choice but to share. There would likely be some huffing and puffing about it later but for now, they would have to make do. The brunette balancing on his skates towards the middle of the team, honestly couldn’t have cared less.
If he was honest, he had hopped that practice would have been canceled until they could find a place, but it seemed the other person who’d rented out the rink had spoken up and dashed that option. Bummer.
The team bounced around a bit in their eagerness to get onto the ice and as each of them slid through the small opening and out, they spared no passing glance to the ice skater and instead just shoved their helmets on and started to warm up. The brunette paused as he slid onto the ice though and glanced at the redhead a moment, taking him in.
“Zane!” Came the loud shout of his coach, snapping him back to reality as he looked to the older man, more of surprised he’d been watching the other for so long than actually being startled by his coach, “Practice ain’t going to wait for you, get your ass out there!” With a call of ‘aye coach’ in return, the dark mop of hair disappeared beneath his helmet as he yanked it on and skated further onto the rink.
