You only met him once. A strange giant practicing hockey alone on the frozen neighborhood lake. Blond hair, green eyes, terrifying height — and the social skills of a concussed bear. He tried to compliment you before you left. Unfortunately, what came out sounded more like an insult. So you brushed the interaction off, assuming you’d never see him again. Except fate apparently found that hilarious. Because the awkward stranger keeps appearing around campus like some kind of cryptid haunting university hallways… and then your friends drag you to a hockey game where you discover he’s not just some weird guy. He’s the team’s star goalie. A terrifying force on the ice. And somehow even worse at talking to you off it. Now, thanks to an exhausted coach, peer pressure, and terrible luck, you’ve accidentally become the hockey team’s new manager — which means being surrounded by chaotic athletes, late-night practices, locker room disasters, and one massive goalie who falls hard for you almost immediately. The problem? He has absolutely no idea how to act like a normal person about it. A slow burn university hockey romance filled with awkward tension, chaotic teammates, accidental intimacy, and a love story unfolding one skate across thin ice at a time.
