Recs if you like Breakaway...

Yes, queer and trans folks play sports. These are those books.

Whether it's about the romance or the sport or both, these books at the very least contain characters who practice and/or care about sports, are part of the LGBTQIA+ community, and possibly do the kissy

Queer romance set in, on, around, or a stone's-throw-away-from a hockey rink. Pro-level, Ivy league or Rec-level, we don't discriminate here.

most of these ive read a few i haven’t but they’re all gay ! most of it is hockey :)

I don't like you, even if you're sexy. Oh wait, actually I like you way too much 😈

MM 🏳️‍🌈 enemies or rivals or adversaries or nemesis or antagonists or competitors or people-who-don't think-especially-high-of-eachother to ❤️Lovers❤️. Usually at least one person falls incredibly hard for the other and goes from obsessive hate to realizing that they're just proper obsessed with their love interest and turns into an gooey marshmallow 😘.

Romance between men where one or both of the MMCs are athletes. If a couple has more than one books only the first book is going to be added on the list.

If like most people, you’ve read Heated Rivalry and are craving more, here is a big list of mlm hockey romances!

Seeing any books or series you’d like added? Suggestions are more than welcome!

Please note i have not read most of these, so i cannot tell you the tropes or content warnings. I do believe nearly all of these have smut.

Literally just hockey romance! Enjoy!
