This shit was so cute and I learned more about hockey from reading this than attending any hockey game I've gone to (which is several).

Bittle is also so relatable! I definitely think that freshman year focuses a lot on hockey itself and the struggles he finds with checks (or the physical part of hockey). In sophomore year, it does focus a lot more on the team as a whole and general life within the Haus. This comic is one my favorites and I love the subtle hints (or even obvious ones) that reveal parts of Bittle’s and Jack’s relationship growing. I hope to see more of that develop in the next book!
