Nhl Booktok Controversy Novels & Stories

“Kenan, you posted a lake, three trees, and Ryan asleep with his mouth open. I know you weren’t exposing me.” “I deleted it.” “The internet discovered screenshots several years ago.” “I still feel terrible.” “I know. Stop.” Someone from the media area called him before he could continue, and I sent him away with another assurance that I wasn’t planning his murder. I almost made it rinkside before someone said, “You’ve got some nerve.” Three girls stood near the front row wearing pieces from the new Mercer Athletics collection, which I appreciated purely from a contractual perspective. I recognized one of them from Northbridge games. She was always near the glass during warm-ups and somehow k

“Riot Kane and Julian Voss Caught in Explicit Gay Encounter — NHL’s Hottest Rivalry Turns Romantic?” Management called us in for an emergency meeting. The coach looked exhausted. The GM looked pissed. They gave us the speech: “Image concerns,” “Sponsor pressure,” “Possible suspension if it distracts the team.” We were given two choices: deny everything and “cool it off,” or come out publicly and deal with the firestorm. We didn’t even discuss it in the room. Ryder just grabbed my hand under the table and squeezed hard. When they asked for our answer, I looked them dead in the eye and said:

Like the absurdity of it all had finally hit her. "You're actually insane," she said. "Probably," I agreed. My phone kept buzzing. Orders. Comments. Think pieces about female sexuality and shame and the commodification of intimacy. People were actually having real conversations about what happened instead of just screaming at me. And they were buying the book. By the thousands. Hours later, after Valentina had called three more times and my publisher had sent a cease-and-desist email that I promptly ignored, I finally stood up and walked over to Mila.

I fired back, my voice cracking like thunder. "Just to be fair, I care about the remaining piece of your reputation." He leaned in, his breath hot against my face, carrying the stench of arrogance. "I'm just here to tell you that I will kill and embarrass every piece of you if you agree to play in the NHL. You'll embarrass that father of yours who thinks he's a god, and that stripper we're both obsessing about." That was it, the final straw that broke the camel's back. Something inside me snapped like a frozen rope pulled too tight. He was clearly trying to get me upset, and damn it, he succeeded.

I take a moment to process that — although questionable, makes sense — before we say our goodbyes and I start heading toward the office. Me: Diana’s off the suspect list. Unfortunately. Adrian: Told you. Dia can’t even kill a fly. I roll my eyes. A second later, I get a DM from @thEodotrink. I grin. He’s sent a post about some Alberta player caught dealing to minors, then messaged: “I call dibs on the press release being something about defamation and suing the preparators.” Me: Quite bold of you to assume it won’t just be ‘player unavailable to confirm or deny.’

NOAH The word blackmail echoed in the high-ceilinged bedroom like a physical strike, turning the warm, lingering haze of the night into a cold, clinical horror that made my throat close up entirely. I stared at the television screen, watching the scrolling red ticker rewrite my entire existence into the narrative of a calculated, scheming opportunist who used locker-room secrets as currency to climb the corporate ladder of the league. My years of studying, the late-night shifts at the clinic, the grueling hours spent fixing torn ligaments and bruised shoulders—all of it was being dissolved in real-time by a corporate PR machine designed to protect the franchise’s bottom line at all costs.

She lies and I almost laugh out loud but I know she will kill me later so I watch in silence. “How many books have you launched so far?” Theo asks, clearly trying to break the ice. “Sex. I mean six?” She responds right before she mouths to me, “SOS.” “Why don’t you and Liam check out the book? Just don’t buy the whole stock. I will know!” I warn them and they nod while walking away. I pick up a book as I turn to Nina, “Sex huh?” “Shut up! I’m so embarrassed right now. How could you not tell me a hot guy would attend my launch?” She asks with a pout.

So let's go fast through the whole plan. I was supposed to send an email to the national television telling them everything about the recent events and situation. When I would tell them the whole story I would continue with a "little" favor. That favor being, if they could publish the article I sent them for my job application, or if they would be so kind to accept one more shorter article that would make everything clear in the world of hockey and sports in general. And like my dear Anabelle pointed out, the rest was up to me. I had to talk with Nathaniel after the boys made sure he read the article at question. Than it was my turn to tell him what my boss did to me and how he compromised m

His skin went from pale to a sickly flush. "The game is over, Elliot. The ice is behind us." "They're going to erase the win," he said, his breath hitching. He leaned forward, his forehead almost touching my collarbone. His words came out in a rush. "The Kings, Nathan, Allen. They're going to say we cheated. They're going to say every goal I scored since my rookie year was a violation of league policy. The board... Devereux has the filing." "Let them file," I said. My voice stayed steady, a weight to counter his rising hysteria. "The lawyers are already moving."
