Three Things Patrick Kane Is No Longer Allowed To Do On A Roadtrip (Even If It Helps The Team Win) (3439 words) by Anonymous
Fandom: Hockey RPF, Sports RPF
Rating: General Audiences
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Brent Seabrook, Duncan Keith, Patrick Sharp
Summary:

There is a list. It lives on the luggage tag of Patrick Kane's suitcase, so he'll see it every time the team travels. The capital letters across the top of the list read: PATRICK, DON'T DO THIS.

Delightfully ridiculous! With a cameo by Ryan Miller which I found especially adorable for no very good reason.

Rating: General Audiences
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Laurie Odell, Ralph Lanyon, Lucy Odell Straike, Gareth Straike, Aunt Olive (Charioteer)
