Character Dynamics and Actor's Approach
The portrayal of Logan is not merely about on-ice performance. Cipriano highlighted Logan's internal struggles during the show's first season, describing the character as facing a "significant personal crossroads." This internal conflict is underscored by Logan's desire to be a supportive friend to Garrett, another central figure in the narrative. The connection and shared history that bind Garrett and Logan are noted as a pivotal element viewers are meant to recognize.
Discussions around the show's production reveal that cast members, including Cipriano, underwent hockey training. While some cast members are noted to be older than their college-aged characters, Cipriano's age is described as close to his on-screen persona.
"During a convention appearance on May 10, Cipriano further elaborated on Logan's internal conflict. Cipriano noted that his character faces a significant personal crossroads during the first season. He wants to be a really good friend to Garrett. You see what brought them together."
The series' development from Elle Kennedy's novels means Cipriano had the source material to draw from, although the extent of his familiarity with the books prior to joining the project is not detailed. Interviews suggest an emphasis on the "brotherhood" within the hockey team and the development of relationships.
