will and ryan, both massachusetts natives, meet at 9 years old playing against and alongside each other in junior hockey, become buddies
2021-2022
gabe, will, and ryan become best friends playing together with the USNTDP u17 program in plymouth, michigan
will and ryan live together with will vote, who theyād known from childhood as well. will (smith)ās parents buy a house 15 minutes away from the program, and during their time at the program will smithās and will voteās mothers would alternate staying with the boys for two weeks at a time, flying back and forth from boston to michigan. both of ryanās parents were working (his mother as a nurse!!); ryan stayed in the basement of the house
gabe was living with his mother. his father, yanic perreault, was an nhl player and at this point was working for the blackhawks organization. he was generally too busy with his work and with gabeās older siblings to be super involved in his hockey stuff (not that he wasnāt involved, just less so), and so gabeās mother july took the responsibility of looking after gabe and doing a lot of his coaching & managing stuff. generally though his parents were a hugely essential support system for him through his childhood and continue to be.
important to ME: gabe is originally from sherbrooke, quebec, but his family moved to hinsdale, illinois for yanicās job with the blackhawks when gabe was in about third grade. he started learning english then and presumably only started being called gabe around this time too!! (gabe isnāt really a common nickname for gabriel in quebec - his mom calls him gaby or gab.) the move was early enough in gabeās life that he considers himself more american than canadian (his identity as a player is american of course, he plays for team USA), and canadian media about him reflects that often, for example talking about him vs. mack celebrini!! you can see that in the above source, which is in french but the autotranslation isn't bad! tl;dr itās a very interesting cultural identity
2022-2023
will, gabe, and ryan play together again on the programās u18 team. they play on a line together, will strictly as a center (!!) and ryan and gabe on his wing. theyāre explosive and very effective together
they win gold at u18 worlds
gabe sets a new NTDP record for points in a single season with 132. the previous record was auston matthewsā 117.
ntdp notes
during their time at the program, they played against macklin celebrini, who was on the chicago steel and already a force to reckon with.
they cared a lot about one another. there was a truly crazy level of love and affection in their trio during this time and you could tell, with the way they talked about each other in media availability especially.
summer 2023
they all commit to boston college. will and ryan had been pretty set on it (massholes !!, & willās family has been going there for fourteen generations) but gabe took some convincing just because he wasnāt sure where was best or if the college route was right for his game. eventually willās pestering worked, though, and he committed with them
they get drafted to the nhl! will is fourth overall to the san jose sharks (the highest draft pick in BC history), ryan eighth to the washington capitals, and gabe twenty-third to the new york rangers
gabe was snubbed - will and ryan agree, often drove in his IQ and his technical skill; how he sees the ice. ryan called him the smartest player in the draft. i wonāt complain though cause iām a rangers fan lollll
a few more NTDP friends commit to BC: aram minnetian (125th to the dallas stars), drew fortescue (90th to the new york rangers), and will vote
someone else commits to a boston school this yearā¦ macklin celebrini. heās seventeen years old, the youngest player in NCAA hockey and probably the best. he commits to boston university, who BC plays often and has a huge rivalry with.
2023-2024
BC time!!!
gabe and will room together. they like to eat milk and cookies as a snack. (cough cough)
the three of them major in communications, because when youāre a high draft pick you donāt really NEED your degree lol! ryan actually goes to class & tries but gabe and willā¦ not so much. but itās okay.
important to note with that piece their socioeconomic and familial backgrounds!! ryan wasnāt poor by any means, but his parents were both working, and his relationship with his older brother john is very tough love focused. while will also has emphasized a need for ātough loveā during his childhood and gabe is a notorious hard worker, i think the importance of hard work in school as a fallback from hockey kind of escaped both of them in a way that it really didnāt for ryan. we see that manifest later in the lore as well! just an interesting thing to note i think.
will and ryan have all of their classes together, and all but one with gabe (gabe takes french as his language because heās already fluent). fun tidbit, one of their classes is a theater class and they all get assigned backstage crew instead of acting parts
this is very much a word of mouth thing, but iāve heard that during this time, ryan and gabe were very much so held together by their attachment to will. a trio because they were both duos, and they were obsessseeeddddd with him
they have a pretty great season. with the three of them on the first line, BC becomes elite offensively, and they hold the #1 spot in the NCAA a few times during the season.
they go to world juniors over new years and win gold for the US
on january 26th and 27th, they face BU in the ābattle of comm aveā for the first time as the #1 (BU) and #2 (BC) schools. on the 26th, BC wins 4-1 with both goals by gabe and ryan (gabeās assisted by both ryan and will, ryanās assisted by gabe)
on march 23rd, they face BU in the hockey east final. BC wins 6-2, with four goals from will (one assisted by gabe, one assisted by ryan) and a goal from gabe. macklin celebrini (playing for BU!) scored one of BUās goals 14:45 into the third period, when BC is already up 5-1. in true macklin fashion, he doesnāt celebrate, he just stands there and stews in his frustration lol. BC wins the hockey east championship and will earns tournament MVP.
on april 13th, BCās seasons ends in the national championship final against denver. They were shut out 2-0. ryan cries and will helps him up off of the ice. gifs are from here
again, you could tell throughout this season how much love they had for each other.
summer of 2024
macklin celebrini goes first overall, as a hockey prodigy and beloved savior, to the san jose sharks
will and macklin sign their entry level NHL contracts to the san jose sharks
2024-2025
gabe and ryan are back at BC to redeem themselves from the loss in the natty finals and get some more development before signing. without will, their new center is james hagens, an incoming freshman and prospected high draft pick. ryan becomes an alternate captain!
gabe and ryan (along with hagens and some other BC and NTDP friends) go to world juniors and get their second consecutive gold! ryan is the captain, and gabe is an alternate.
will, of course, isnāt there. heās in san jose tearing it up!
ok, not really tearing it up. he has a bit of a slow and clunky start, and of course the sharks wereā¦ really REALLY bad this season. but that isnāt whatās important: whatās important is his relationship with macklin celebrini. they get crazy close immediately, a dynamic and iconic duo; very soulmate-ish! theyāre just, likeā¦ obsessed with each other, and they seem to really understand and feel at home with each other. and theyāre FUNNY, theyāre having a lot of fun even though their team sucks. theyāre like. the best friends ever
theyāre roomates on the road and they like to order milk and cookies. sounds like anyone we know???????????????? lol??????????????????
gabe and ryan donāt have so much fun. BC isnāt bad but they certainly arenāt as good as they were with will there, and theyāre choking a lot more in important or emotionally charged games.
on january 27th, mack walks into the sharks game wearing willās jersey from when he scored four goals in the hockey east final vs. BU. theyād made a bet that weekend when BC and BU faced each other, the penalty for losing was wearing the other guyās college jersey. (they win that gameā¦ which was rare lol)
this comes up again in february, during four nations break, when BC and BU face each other in the beanpot. mack and will go to the game together - thereās talk about another jersey bet
BU wins the beanpot. gabe opens the scoring with a ryan assist, but that ends up being BCās only goal of the game. the final score is a 1-4 BU win.
interestingly, will isnāt spotted at all with former teammates or with gabe or ryan. he watches the game from a box and he isnāt spotted going out afterward. this doesnāt necessarily mean he didnāt see the guys, but itās certainly weird considering how close he was with gabe and ryan especially and his long standing connection to the school! in contrast, mack (whose only connection to BU is that his brother plays there and that he played there for a season) reads BUās starting lineup alongside lane hutson of the canadiens, and then is spotted out with the team, dancing and drinking his beloved white girl high noon
it takes a while for the shoe to drop, but eventually will wears mackās jersey for walk in - before the march 22nd game against the boston bruins (willās childhood team). (they win this game too)
BC falls short from the national championship again, this time losing in the semifinals to denver (the same team they lost to in the finals the year before)
gabe and ryan sign their NHL contracts a day or two after the loss
will reposts both instagram posts announcing their signing on his story, but lenoās is captionless and gabeās has a red heart
gabe goes to new york of course, who had a pretty shitty season. when he signed, they were gunning for a wildcard spot which they ultimately didnāt get. he only played five games with them and didnāt look too bad on the ice, but it was somewhat apparent that he wasnāt quite ready for NHL caliber play. he does start to bond with his teammates, though, notably (to me? to everyone?) vets like chris kreider (who was traded after 14 seasons with the rangers that june), vincent trocheck, and younger guys like othmann and matt rempe
ryan goes to washington, where history is actively being made. he scores his first goal (an empty netter) in the game where ovi ties gretzkyās scoring record (will doesnāt repost the first goal graphic, though ryan had posted his back at the start of the season), and of course is there when ovi breaks it. all of the caps are obsessed with him - he lives on a floor of pierre luc duboisā house with him and his fiance, alex ovechkin calls him babe and baby and little kid leno, brandon duhaime barks in his faceā¦ he fits RIGHT in with them.
the caps go to the playoffs, but ryan doesnāt really make an impact
summer 2025
the sharks obviously donāt make the postseason, so will goes to sweden for worlds and on may 25th, wins gold. he hangs out a lot with matty beniers and zeev buium (who pkayed for denver both times they beat BC btw!) and gets covered in champagne of course. while in sweden, he hangs out with mack (whoās playing on a line with crosby for team canada).
on may 29th, ryan finally posts on his instagram with a little tribute to BC and his teammates there. youād think that with all of their history, will would be featured in the post, right? WRONG!!
in ryanās post we have gabe, james hagens, will vote, teddy stiga. no will at all. the first image is one of gabe and ryan together on the ice, actually, in a very similar orientation to will and mack in willās end of season photodump! interesting interestingā¦
gabe comments pretty much immediately: āBrother for life , love you lean ā¤ļøā. this is significantly more heartfelt than anything heās commented on willās posts, and that along with their behavior through the season & gabeās presense in the post without will indicates that thereās been a shift with the tree of them - rather than will as a holding factor and guy to orbit, ryan and gabe are a duo without him now. just interesting to meeeee!!
a few hours later, will comments on the POST HE ISNāT FEATURED IN: ā6934 š„²ā. those are their college numbers. will 6, ryan 9, gabe 34. Cool! Great!
on june 5th, gabe posts a dump on instagram. it has both ryan and will in it, ryan twice in candids and will once in a more posed photo that comes across as a little bit uncomfortable.
on june 27th, will and zeev buium work at the NHL draft, interviewing picks as they leave the stage. will talks with james hagens about hagensā suit, which was made by gabeās brother who owns a tailoring company, and about BC, and he speaks with michael misa (2nd ovr. to the sharks) briefly but Kind Of rudely. not much of note here but interesting if you make it interesting!
will has (presumably a lot of) BC guys over to his familyās house on cape cod for the fourth of july, but we only know for sure that ryan and gabe were there, because on july 9th, gabe posted a picture of the three of them in front of the house Visibly Blasted and in all of their conservative white man glory. so now theyāre friends again apparently! yay! will comments ā34-6-9ā (which, ouch), and matt rempe (crucially building a relationship with gabe!) comments āladies loved this oneā. things to chew on.
on july 15th, will and ryan go to the same coldplay concert in boston. presumably together, but i guess it could be that they both just happened to be there because they both are white men who were in MA at the time
on july 18th, the rangers post matt rempe micād up at a junior rangers practice. he and gabe are there together, coaching these kids, and they have maaaajor heart eyes for each other - kind of continuing what we started to see at the end of the 24-25 season. they have some really sweet interactions in the video
july 24th, ryan and will participate in the shoulder check showcase. theyāre on opposing teams, but they do have some cute little friendly moments! gabe was also named as a participant but ultimately wasnāt there for unnamed reasons.
at the end of july, mack is invited to train in nova scotia with sidney crosby and nathan mackinnon. he invites will Of Course, so they have a cute couple days up there!
all three of them are spotted together with other members of BCās hockey team at the BC football season opener on august 30th
on september 3rd, will posts a summer dump which is completely sans ryan and (!) mack. gabe is there, notable in a group BC hockey image FROM THE AUGUST 30TH FOOTBALL TAILGATE. which ryan was at. thereās also a picture of will and gabe in a pool, presumably at willās cape house.
also on september 3rd, gabe and ryan participated in the NHLPA rookie showcase together, and seemed pretty typically affectionate towards one another, especially ryan in his media availability.
2025-2026
gabe fails to make the rangers roster out of dev camp, and gets sent down to the hartford wolfpack. rangers coach mike sullivan says he wants him to get faster, stronger, and more confident. gabe accepts that; itās clear that his confidence is down but heās determined to do whateverās best for his career
ryan makes the capitals roster - doesn't even attend dev camp
will is obviously already on the sharks roster, but not as a center - now, heās going to play on macklinās wing. this is a big thing: his entire life heās been a center, and thereās a huge demand for centers right now! heās putting himself in a disadvantageous position just so he can play on a line with mack. interesting interesting interesting.
ryan does pretty well! heās not incredible but heās certainly not awful.
gabeās a little rocky in hartford at first, but quickly becomes their best guy on the ice. heās too skilled for the AHL, itās obvious, but when he gets briefly called up to the NHL in november, he doesnāt look ready, and gets sent back down after a few games
good to note: in new york, gabe is getting close with rempe & with noah laba, also with alexis lafreniere who he speaks french with. in hartford, heās getting close with brendan brisson, another young guy with a father with a legacy (pat brisson, a very notable agent). also, matt rempe gets injured when the sharks come to new york in mid october, heās out till december
ryan is injured in early december
will is also injured in early december, mack gets in a bit of a scrum with the guy who did it
gabe gets called up a bit before christmas, scores his first NHL goal on december 18th. will posts the graphic on his story, ryan doesnāt!!!!!!
on december 23rd, the rangers and capitals play each other. somehow it works out that thatās the day ryan comes back from injury (!!), and he and gabe interact briefly on the ice - gabe tries to hit him and just stumbles is most what happens. the rangers win 7-3.
after the game, a reporter asks ryan if he and gabe talked at all, and ryan seems annoyed & shuts down a bit. āa few words,ā he says. āthatās it.ā soā¦ trouble in paradise? itās strange because ryan has always been happy to talk about gabe in media availability; heās always been the first one to talk about how great at hockey he is and how heās a good friend. they were so close through will (in a sense) abandoning them, and theyāve been friends since they were 16. they didnāt even get coffee?
gabe spends christmas at will's family's place in massachusetts, with the smith extended family
will and ryan get dinner when the sharks go to washington for january 15, but will is still injured so they don't play against each other. will comes back the very next game
gabe and will get dinner the night before the rangers play the sharks in san jose, on january 23. max miller writes an article about it and they talk about it in pregame media with both will and gabe, which is something ryan didn't have with either of them
mack scores twice in the early minutes of the first with a lot of will-mack duo magic
during the game there's this little moment which makes me feel nauseous where will sees gabe skating towards him and holds out his hand as if he's going for a tap but gabe just skates past
and THEN the famous gabe-on-macklin elbow! late into the game, the rangers are losing bad, and gabe blatantly elbows mack as they pass each other. mack gets a bloody nose. the sharks broadcasters make a joke about how will is gonna "break up" with gabe after the game, and then in postgame media will is asked about it, and he just giggles and says he thought gabe was going to get a longer penalty for it
at the start of the olympic break, will and gabe were spotted at a bc game together. a few days later, will, gabe, ryan, and jacob fowler were spotted at the bc vs. bu beanpot together
other things
will and ryan are notoriously catholic, pray before games and wear crucifixes and shit. will added a rosary ring to his chain alongside the cross and st. christopher pendant this season, actually, which is interesting!!! gabe is different, though, till 2/5/26 it had been a bit of a debate because of his cultural background & because he was wearing necklaces with his number on them (always deriving from his father's #94), never a crucifix. but as of 2/5 he now wears a cross!
and just to drill it in again: these three guys really, really loved one another. they respected one another, and thought incredibly highly of each other as players, linemates, teammates, and people. for a long time they justā¦ they ALWAYS talked about how great the others were!!! everything was about each other!!! and after will left BC, that started to stop. it was still there between ryan and gabe, but at the start of the 25-26 season even that ended. so the questions are essentially about what happened that couldāve outweighed the devotion to each other
and that's basically where we're at! let me know if it looks like i made any mistakes & please send asks or messages with any questions or to discuss!! i can also provide any sources if they aren't linked.

The things Iām learning about the NTDP right now are incredibly fucking disturbing
No wonder Will is living life at the fullest. He was fucking traumatised and abused for years.
No wonder he wants to make the most of every hobby when his āindividuality was broken downā to create a ābetter teamā. When he was referred to as a āproductā. Not prospect, not player. Product.
No wonder he keeps everything private when the coaches kept tabs on every playerās dating life. No wonder heās always on time and plans everything when āthere would be consequencesā for being late to anything.
No wonder he loves to bake when the NTDP controlled every meal down to the MINUTE and measured their weight and body fat constantly. No FUCKING WONDER he likes restaurants when the NTDP caught two players eating a McFlurry and publicly humiliated and punished the whole team for it. When he was only allowed ā16 grapesā, ā10 friesā, ā23 almondsā, ā12 baby carrotsā AS SNACKS ?????
No wonder heās chronically online and calls his parents at any opportunity when the NTDP confiscated his phone every fucking day.
No wonder patriotism runs so rampant when theyāre made to exhaust themselves in the name of America and tap their sticks after each anthem. They are a CULT. Theyāve partnered with the MILITARY!!!! Their merch says DEFEND THE FLAG.
No wonder heās building a life outside of hockey after playing for an organisation that forced him to change in the hallways because he hadnāt āearned the right to privacyā.
An organisation that employed coaches using military training techniques on 15 year old boys. One of those coaches who was then charged for the murder of a 16 year old boy.
An organisation with a secondary ice pad for the boys to keep skating while the Zamboni flooded the main rink. So they couldnāt even rest for 10 minutes. 2 hours with no breaks. And then gym. And then weights. And then fucking jiu jitsu.
An organisation that forces families to hand over guardianship and power of attorney the moment their children move in with a billet family.
The organisation that urges players to do online school so no reporters outside USA Hockey can get information out of them.
They make these teenagers run miles with logs the shoulders. They made them go through a 12 week program in just 6 weeks. The conditioning was described as āexcruciatingā.
An organisation with NO OFF DAYS. Coaches that admit to push them further than their limits, and when theyāre exhausted, they keep pushing.
Years of his life Will himself describes as āarmy styleā. Literally saying āat first I was like āget me out of this placeā. The workouts were awful. 8 hours a day in the rinkā. And Leno said āwork outs that just donāt end. Going through Hell with them.ā
No wonder heās doing anything and everything when he wasnāt allowed out of the rink from sunrise to sunset. Even online school was at the rink.
He was in a fucking cult. And the only thing that saved him from the full scope of horrors was his family taking one look at that place and going āyouāre not going aloneā.
