The inspiring true story of Manon Rhéaume, the first and only woman to play a game in the National Hockey League, featuring an afterward from Manon herself. “One day, a woman will play in the National Hockey League. If no one prevents her,” said a twelve-year-old Manon Rhéaume. Manon always dreamed of playing hockey. So, when the team her father coached needed a goalie, five-year-old Manon begged for the chance to play. She didn’t care that she’d be the only girl in the entire league or that hockey was considered a “boys’ sport” in her hometown of Lac-Beauport, Quebec, Canada. All she cared about was the game. After her father gave her that first chance to play, she embarked on a spectacular, groundbreaking career in hockey. At every level of competition, Manon was faced with naysayers, but she continued to play, earning her place on prestigious teams and ultimately becoming the first woman to play a game in the NHL. Including an afterword written by Manon herself, Breaking the Ice is the true story of one girl’s courage, determination, and love for the sport.
Break the Ice
He's the cocky celebrity goalie who wants a fresh start. She's the ruthless assistant coach who wants him off her team. Working together to win a championship will be no easy score. Why would star goaltender Daniel Evans join the struggling Toronto Towers? Assistant coach Lauryn Jackson is skeptical of his motives and overrated skillset. Daniel just wants to get on the good side of Lauryn's skirt-suit and stilettos, but she doesn't have time for his smug, perfectly scruffy face. She's determined to lead the Towers to victory in her own way, but the men in power have different plans. Lauryn soon realizes she could use Daniel's influence to her advantage. As the Towers chase an elusive championship title, the tension and attraction build between Daniel and Lauryn. Their undeniable connection forces them to confront their deepest fears and desires. Break the Ice is a pro-hockey contemporary romance, written by a former sports journalist. The banter is as sharp as skates. The steamy scenes are more intense than power plays. And the laughs hit like unexpected slap shots. This heartwarming, long-form novel is the first book in the Game Over series, and can be read as a standalone. What makes this hockey romance unique? - The female protagonist is a member of the hockey team — not a figure skater, a public relations manager, or a player’s sister. Break the Ice’s female lead is a coach! - In this universe, the NHL doesn’t exist. Instead, the fictional North American Hockey League is the pinnacle of pro-hockey, and is more progressive about employing women and people of colour. - It's not just about love and dating. It's about how to land your dream job. It's about how to communicate effectively. It's about how to manage anxiety. Additionally, Break the Ice explores these key concepts: - Ambitious women navigating a male-dominated industry. - Building a chosen family. - Challenging white privilege in Canadian hockey culture.
