last night @toasttt11 and i did some brainstorming for a new Quinn AU
heres what we/i have so far:
Born in New York, New York on April 15th, 1999; when her dad, ryan, is playing for the New York Rangers
Her mother died when she was 4 of cancer
After her dad retires he begins coaching.
Starting at the University of Michigan as an assistant coach in 2010, under the iconic red berenson, then is announced as the NTDP U18 head coach in 2015 for the 2015-2016 season.
At the end of the 2018-2019, season he was asked to be the head coach of the Detroit Red Wings, which is where he currently stays.
She was 11 when they moved to Canton, Michigan
She is a dual athlete doing both Field Hockey and Lacrosse
She is committed to play both at OSU
much to her dad, quinn and the hughes' families chagrin
but that's where her mom went so she's going there too
piper meets quinn at the USA NTDP tryout camp in the summer of 2014, which she traveled to with her dad
they don't see each other again until they end up in many classes together their junior year of high school
then quinn begins to see her everywhere
at the rink
at team events
everywhere
its not until the summer when quinn travels back to toronto that they both realize that they miss each other
so after a few awkward months there senior year quinn works up the courage to ask her out
there relationship there freshman year of college is a hard adjustment, but quinn makes it to many of her games and she does the same for him
they last SO LONG because of the rough first year of long distance
the hughes family x piper and ryan olsen
Ryan is why jack and luke are so insistent on also playing in the NTDP.
Jim has worked with Ryan in the past as a coach and always admired his work when he was at umich in development (zach hyman comes to mind)
and Quinn never shuts up about him
When Ellen meets Piper for the first time, she immediately understands why her son didn't shut up about her the summer before
Jim loves piper because she works so hard. he admires the kind of athlete she is
and jack and luke are obsessed with her
always going to her games
especially luke who is always a short drive away during her time at college
