The Assistant Coach

Leia Welsh never imagined her life taking a drastic turn from being a star ice hockey player to a college student. But after a career-ending injury, Leia finds herself at a crossroads, unsure of what to do next. However, when the opportunity arises for her to become the assistant coach for the men's hockey team, Leia sees it as a chance to stay connected to the sport she loves. As Leia steps into her new role, she is met with resistance from the team, who are skeptical of having a woman as their coach. Led by the cocky and immature junior player, Kohl Warren, the team seems more interested in causing trouble than actually listening to Leia's coaching. Despite the challenges she faces, Leia is determined to prove herself to the team and earn their respect. As she works to bring the team together and improve their performance on the ice, Leia also finds herself drawn to Kohl, who harbors a secret sexual issue that threatens to derail his hockey career. As Leia navigates the complexities of coaching a team of rowdy men, she must also confront her own fears and insecurities about her future. Will Leia be able to earn the trust and respect of the team, and help Kohl overcome his personal struggles? And will Leia ultimately find a new path for herself beyond the ice?
