This was my first MM hockey romance and I loved it! The banter and rivals to lovers were top level. It was an achingly beautiful progression of their relationship and feelings. And it was definitely a yummy spice too. 
Ilya Rozanov lives rent free in my head. I know in the order she wrote these books, it’s a HFN. I’m looking forward to reading their sequel though!
