The first day of training camp always reminds David of the
first day of school. The noise, the chaos, everyone hugging
and talking over one another, chatting about their summers,
while David stands to the side, waiting for an authority figure
to tell everyone to quiet down and get them on track.
This year reminds him of his first day in Québec City
specifically. The Islanders room had become familiar, even
though there was always something new: new teammates, new
prospects, new lines, maybe a new coaching staff entirely. But
on his first day with the Capitals, the only familiar will be
Oleg. It’s a comfort, not just having him there, but knowing
he’s new too, the room just as foreign to him.
Still, David doesn’t sleep well the night before. He goes to
bed early, but just ends up staring at the ceiling of his new
bedroom, the same flat white as the ceiling of his last
bedroom, trying and failing to slow his heartbeat.
He’s awake an hour before his alarm goes off, and after he
gets out of the shower he has a text from Oleg, want to get
breakfast before camp?. David wonders if Oleg is nervous too,
woke before his alarm, like David, but it’s more likely that
he’s up early because his children are.
David doesn’t hesitate. He types out Yeah, tell me where.
then goes to get dressed, grabbing a banana and a bottle of
water for the trip, walking into some upscale cafe not far from
Kettler Iceplex right as his alarm was set to go off.
Oleg’s already ordered: coffee for himself, tea for David,
two spinach and egg white sandwiches. “Nervous?” he asks,
when David sits across from him.
