Recs if you like Out on the Ice...

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

I went through all the books in the romance quest tab and here are all the ones where at least one of leads is in a relationship that is not "man and woman falling in love with each other." F/F, M/M, F/NBi, M/NBi, NBi/NBi, etc. Largely motivated by wanting to figure out which romance book quests I had a chance of getting the badges for. If I missed any, let me know. Quest specific info in the pinned comment.

Sapphic characters and sports, what could be better?

This list gathers ice hockey romance novels that explore queer sexualities (achillean, sapphic, poly), disability, masculinity and women’s participation in sport. The corpus supports my research question for an essay I'm writing: How do contemporary ice hockey romance novels challenge hegemonic masculinity and reimagine belonging within a traditionally heteromasculine sport?

You love hockey romance, but are tired of seeing the same books recommend over and over? You want to diversify your reading and read more disabled, fat, BIPOC and queer stories? I have some recs for you! (A lot of these are from talk_about_swoon on Instagram)

I feel like with the rising interest in HR and hockey in general it is necessary to show that not just men belong in hockey, so here is a list about women playing or coaching ✨ This list will include fiction and nonfiction. Recs are always welcome, I haven’t read everything!!! 💅✨🫶 *P.S. I hope the list will include nonbinary and other genderqueer people in the future, I just haven’t found any books yet!!

For sapphics who love hockey girls and the PWHL

these women play ice sports and love other women. as always, recs welcome!

Sometimes I'm a basic b who likes sports romance and there are a lot of hockey romances with many flavours. Hoping for more recs and more queer rep 🏳‍🌈

Mental health rep in hockey romance. Usually mental health struggle/accommodation is a central plot point.
