I sort of love that Van is reliably a dick to Jackie the whole time they’re in the woods. This is a character with a reputation for being sunshine, but Jackie left her for dead ONE TIME and that lesbian was like “fuck it, it’s on sight for the rest of eternity.”
There’s an alternate reality where Jackie survives to be rescued, and Van rolls up 25 years later with booze to share with everyone, “except you. You know what you did.”

i hope you’ve all been aware of Travis Dermott and this…
but i hope, i hope, that you’ve all thought of LAILA DERMOTT doing this in the NCAA or Pro Exy League. racquet taped up on the end or just below the net. and not just as an ally, as proud mf woman-loving-woman.
by god Alvarez would be so down bad.
so would i.

this article is super cute! some notable bits:
when he was a baby his comfort item was a habs ministick
not the biggest goalie but good at positioning
super competitive.
had four assists last season and considers his puckhandling one of his strengths
this insane anecdote
pregame routine includes stickhandling the puck around while wearing his glove and blocker
marty coached his son ryan against jacob's team in minor hockey and is familiar with his game
jacob's grandfather married a woman from quebec so the family is very familiar with and fond of the province
he's very easy in front of the cameras and loves pressure and the first thing he said after getting drafted was "montreal? what a perfect place for me."

Per Elliotte Friedman - From NHL Board of Governors: teams will not wear specialty jerseys in warmups next season.
Booooooo this is so lame. What the hell is with the NHL and shooting themselves in the foot? You KNOW this is about Pride too. Ridiculous. Get with the times, because Hockey *should be* FOR EVERYONE

Since my beloved Avalanche got Georgiev, please share on him oh beloved goalie knowledge queen! I know he punched TDA, so I’m perfectly happy to love him no matter what.
Oh, I love Georgie so much, he's such a sweetheart. He's always had good vibes to me. He's very quiet and introverted, and he's struggled behind Igor because he wants the starting position, and who can blame him? He hasn't been happy in New York, and I really hope he can find a place in Colorado.
He's also been outspoken in his support of BLM and LGBTQ+ rights, and he has a pet rabbit!! He's just a sweet, shy dude who loves hockey and I can't wait to see how he does in his career, I wish him nothing but the best

Queer reads: Avon Gale & Piper Vaughn
Day 30! And this one is on time! Okay, to round out my sport romance section, I give you Avon Gale & Piper Vaughn. (side note: I only had room for 3 posts for sport romances, and let me tell you, there are hundreds. Thousands, probably. Some better than others, but I’ve really only scraped the surface of the gay sport romance genre)
So, this is the Hat Trick series, which is a sport thing (yes, I figured out what a hat trick is, it’s a hockey thing).
Avon Gale has lots of books, some co-written, some not, as does Piper Vaughn, but having read some of each, I think I like their cowriting together the best. (Avon Gale has a couple books cowritten with Roan Parrish, who I also like, but surprisingly I was not moved by the one I read. It lacked something for me.)
Anyway, Off The Ice is book 1, and I think my favorite of the three, because it features a sunshine/asshole dynamic, and I love that shit. These books are more about the characters than they are about the sports, and I enjoyed the relationships between the characters, and in particular, I enjoyed the dialogue in these books. A+ banter.
I said I liked these two writing together better than their other stuff, but I also really enjoyed her Scoring Chances series, which is five books about a minor-er league than the NHL and the hockey players there.
