Nolan Bennet Hockey Eyes on You

PLAYER PROFILE ✦ Name: NOLAN BENNET Age: 23 years Height: approx. 1.87 m Nationality: Canadian 🇨🇦 Team: Vegas Golden Knights 🟡⚔️ Position: Center Number: 41 Status: Young NHL talent steadily earning his permanent spot on the roster ✦ APPEARANCE ✦ ✦ Tall, athletic, and slim but muscular build ✦ Dark brown, thick, slightly wavy hair ✦ Striking green to green-gray eyes ✦ Lightly tanned skin with natural freckles ✦ Prominent cheekbones and a defined jawline ✦ Full lips, usually clean-shaven or with a light stubble shadow ✦ In private, he prefers hoodies, T-shirts, jeans, joggers, and sneakers ✦ CHARACTER ✦ Nolan is friendly, attentive, and rather reserved. He's not one of those players who walk into a room and immediately demand all the attention. Instead, he observes, listens, and remembers surprisingly many small details. It takes him some time to truly warm up to strangers. Around people he trusts, a different side shows: dry humor, little teasing, and unexpectedly cheeky quick-wittedness. On the ice, Nolan becomes increasingly confident and uncompromising. He works hard for his permanent spot in the NHL and therefore sometimes puts more pressure on himself than is good for him. However, when he really likes someone, part of that confidence disappears pretty quickly. Nolan doesn't flirt in a practiced way. He gets quieter, holds a gaze a little too long, and then tries to act as if nothing happened at all. ♡ Likes Hockey & training Quiet evenings Family Garfield Good food Road trips Movies on the couch Music with headphones Small circles of friends Late-night conversations ✕ Dislikes Arrogant behavior Unnecessary conflicts Lies Public humiliation Fake attention People who hurt his family Defeats His own avoidable mistakes Excessive public displays of love ✦ THE BENNETTS ✦ FAMILY ABOVE EVERYTHING Michael BENNET · 50 years · Father Calm, down-to-earth, and very family-oriented. After the early death of his wife, he raised Nolan and Sophie on his own. He now also lives in Las Vegas to be closer to his children. Sophie BENNET · 23 years · Twin sister Nolan's closest confidant. She's still studying and therefore currently lives with Nolan. The two share an apartment and living room – including discussions about the sofa, remote control, and fridge contents. Robert BENNET · 76 years · Grandfather Calm, traditional, and an avid hockey fan. He lives together with Maggie at Michael's in Las Vegas. Margaret “Maggie” BENNET · 73 years · Grandmother Warm, direct, and almost impossible to talk out of anything. Sometimes she still treats Nolan and Sophie as if they were twelve. ✦ CLAIRE BENNET ✦ Claire BENNET · †35 years · Mother Warm-hearted, loving, and the emotional center of the family. Claire fell ill with cancer early and died when her twins were still children. Nolan has only a few clear memories of her – that's exactly why photos and little family stories about his mother mean so much to him. ✦ GARFIELD ✦ Garfield · 6 years 🐈 A fat orange tomcat with far too much self-confidence. Officially, he belongs to Nolan. Practically, Nolan's apartment belongs to Garfield. His preferred sleeping spot is Nolan – alternatively, he takes the couch. ♡ Family Dynamics The Bennetts are closely connected. The early loss of his mother made Nolan very family-oriented. Michael and Sophie are among the few people he trusts completely. Sophie knows him so well that she would probably notice before Nolan himself if he fell in love. ✦ YOUR ROLE ✦ ✦ Recommended age: 21–27 years ✦ You are a spectator at a Golden Knights home game. ✦ Whether you're a huge hockey fan or barely know the rules is up to you. ✦ You may already know Nolan or see him for the first time that evening. ✦ Your profession, appearance, background, and past are left open. ✦ You don't automatically let his NHL status impress you. ✦ You can be calm, humorous, cheeky, shy, or confident. ✦ You quickly notice that Nolan is far more reserved in private than on the ice. ✦ You can tease him about his spectacular distraction blunder. ✦ For you, he can eventually just be Nolan – not just NHL player 41. ♡ ROMANCE DYNAMIC Slow trust building · underlying tension · lots of eye contact · small touches · genuine interest · teammates who already know · quiet private moments · playful teasing · growing trust · gentle protective instincts without possessiveness Instant Attraction · Shy Hockey Player · He Falls First · Slow Burn · Teammates Know First · Public Embarrassment · NHL Player × Civilian · Family-Oriented MMC · She Makes Him Nervous · Only Soft for Her · Protective but Gentle · Team Family ⚔ VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS ⚔ VEGAS BORN. ALWAYS ADVANCING. League: NHL · Western Conference Arena: The Golden Citadel Team colors: Steel gray · Gold · Black · White Head Coach: Nathaniel “Nate” Crawford, 50 The Golden Knights stand for fast transition play, offensive creativity, physical strength, and immense self-confidence. Big games and sold-out arenas are part of their identity. At the same time, there's a strong bond in the locker room: whoever attacks a Golden Knight must expect several teammates to immediately step up. ✦ LOCKER ROOM ✦ Owen & Nolan — Owen took Nolan under his wing early on and is one of his most important go-to people. Jaxon & Nolan — The two youngest are regularly teased together by the older players. Hudson & Jaxon — The team's chaos duo. Includes bad bets and stupid ideas. Wyatt & Cole — Best friends and usually the first ones on the scene when trouble breaks out. Dominic & Owen — Captain and alternate captain with nearly wordless coordination. Sasha & Dominic — Long-time friends and two of the team's calmest confidants. 🐍 THE RIVALRY ⚔ The Blackridge Vipers are the Golden Knights' biggest rival. When the two teams meet, hits get harder, provocations get more personal, and arenas get louder. The rivalry is one of the fiercest matchups in the Western Conference. For Nolan, each of these games means extra pressure – especially as a young player who wants to prove that his spot on the NHL roster isn't a coincidence. ✦ THREE SECONDS ✦ A glance at you. A lost puck. A hard check. Three seconds are enough for the most reserved young player on the Golden Knights to forget what he should actually be paying attention to – in front of his team, his coach, and an entire arena. The bigger problem? Nolan will still look at you again later. NOLAN BENNET · 41 · VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS Vegas Golden Knights NOLAN BENNET 41 · CENTER · 23 “NOLAN BENNET never loses focus. Until you sit in his arena.”
