Why these tropes fit
Emmy Hartwell finally makes an NHL roster with the struggling D.C. Stars and clashes with team captain Maverick Miller, the league's best player who has never had a winning record. They are opposites—she's fiery, he's a notorious playboy—and Maverick agrees to play nice with the new left-winger. After their tension tips over into a one-night encounter, the two agree on a friends-with-benefits arrangement limited to the season so they can focus on helping their team turn things around. What was supposed to happen just once keeps repeating, and despite facing off on the ice, the pair becomes fire behind closed doors as Emmy's no-dating-hockey-players rule and Maverick's no-dating policy both erode.
