Sniper (n.) – A player with a powerful, accurate shot skilled at finishing plays. Snipers frequently score more goals than assists. Snipers can be either forwards or defensemen. (Definition lifted from Wikipedia)
This is a photo of Tyler Toffoli, a young King who got some fantastic experience in the 2013 post season. He’s only 21, but has a reputation for finishing plays and scoring. A sniper is the guy you want to give the puck to because he’s the one who will put it in the net.
The other day I realized that Tim, the hero of my first hockey romance, could be considered a sniper. Now, sniper is a sexy word. I thought it might make a good word in a title. So, I emailed my editor something along the lines of, “It might be too late, but Tim is a sniper, which isn’t an official hockey position but maybe we could suggest a new title, if the team still wants a title with a hockey position in it.”
To my surprise, she said it wasn’t too late and the idea had merit. She encouraged me to think of some titles following these conventions: Sniper’s ____ or ______ the Sniper.
Here’s what I came up with.
- The Lovesick Sniper
- The Superstitious Sniper
- Tempting the Sniper
- Resisting the Sniper
- Caring For the Sniper
- Crazy for the Sniper
- In Love with the Sniper
- Snaring the Sniper
- Winning over the Sniper
- Saving the Sniper
- Sniper’s Score
- Sniper’s Salvation
- Sniper’s Superstition
- Sniper’s Comeback
- Sniper’s Return
- Sniper’s Struggle
- Sniper’s Heartbreak
- Sniper’s Heartache
- Sniper’s Destiny
- Sniper’s Choice
- Sniper’s Remedy
- Sniper’s Rebound
- Sniper’s Lucky Kiss
The bold ones are my favorites. Feel free to chime in on which one you like.
