Hockey Wars

Millie and Cameron grew up as close as any two friends could be, playing together on the same hockey team and hanging out together after school. However, when the hockey team was split between boys and girls, their friendship began to change, and not for the better. Now, Millie and Cameron are rivals, playing against each other to finally settle who has the best hockey team, boys or girls?

I've never been a good bet. I wear my emotions on my tattoo-covered sleeve, I say all the wrong things, and I revel in pissing off a certain redhead far more than I should. In other words, I'm the last person the court would choose to parent any child, let alone three of them. Yet being their father is all I want. So when the woman I love to hate offers to help make all my dreams come true, I jump at the chance. Marrying Ava is a convenient solution: she's my kids' favorite person and the court will absolutely approve of the woman who runs the biggest charity in Boston. 

She flipped him off on her first day. He's her patient by Monday. Maren Cole is the newest physician on Ridgewater's athletics medical staff. Her job: keep the hockey team healthy. Her problem: Callum "Cal" Reeves, the team's captain, whom she screamed at in a parking lot before she knew he was the man whose body she'd be responsible for all season. Cal has a secret. A torn shoulder he's been hiding with painkillers, and a body that is one bad shift from ending his career. The last thing he needs is a doctor who notices too much. But the doctor notices everything. What starts as hostility ...

In its 2001 report on global climate, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change of the United Nations prominently featured the "Hockey Stick", a chart showing global temperature data over the past 1,000 years. The Hockey Stick demonstrated that temperature had risen with the increase in industrialization and use of fossil fuels. The inescapable conclusion was that worldwide human activity since the industrial age had raised CO2 levels, trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and warming the planet.

Once upon a time, they taught us to believe. They were the 1980 US Olympic hockey team, a blue-collar bunch led by an unconventional coach, and they engineered perhaps the greatest sports moment of the 20th century. Their "Miracle on Ice" has become a national fairy tale, but the real Cinderella story is even more remarkable. It is a legacy of hope, hard work, and homegrown triumph. It is a chronicle of everyday heroes who just wanted to play hockey happily ever after.

Tasked with finding common ground and building friendships between the world's two largest countries and arctic neighbors, a young Canadian diplomat finds himself on his first overseas assignment in Moscow, the Soviet capital. It's the early 1970s and a Cold War between communism and capitalism, the west and the east, is simmering-while the ice rink is just starting to heat up. Smith opts for sports diplomacy, throwing off his embassy black tie dress codes and donning the blue and white sweater of the Moscow Maple Leafs.

I'd wanted her from the first moment I'd seen her. But Billie Rose hadn't liked me. Not that I could blame her—I'd just been another of the annoying hockey players seemingly out to ruin her town. Thankfully, I'd finally gotten her to see me. To want me. But Billie was the most together person...

Trusting him is her biggest risk. Falling for him might be her only chance… STARLA: I don't have time for distractions. Every moment of my life is choreographed for perfection on the ice, every jump and spin calculated to bring me closer to the Olympic gold. So when I'm paired with Gunnar “Blaze” Hayes for a charity skating routine, I'm furious. A reckless speed skater with no regard for rules? Hard pass. Except I can't ignore the fire he brings to the rink—or the way it sparks something in me I haven’t felt in years. But then the threats begin. At first, I think it's just nerves ...

During the height of the Cold War, a group of small-town young men would lead their underdog hockey team from the little country of Czechoslovakia against the Soviet Union, the juggernaut in their sport. As they battled on the ice, the young players would keep their people's quest for freedom alive, and forge a way to fight back against the authoritarian forces that sought to crush them. Freedom to Win tells a story that ranges from iconic moments in history to courageous individual stories.

Emma: I’m so excited my older brother is being transferred to the Denver Warlords, our hometown’s hockey team. I haven’t spent near enough time with him. When I accidentally fall into the lap of his teammate, Leo, one night when we’re all out at a bar, it’s love at first sight. At least for me. I’m pretty sure Leo is falling for me, too, but I can tell he’s holding something back. I just wish I knew what it was. And why my brother keeps warning me to stay away from him… Leo: I can’t believe it. The man responsible for causing the injury that almost ended my career is now ...

The captain of the Blizzards is my roommate and my boss. And now I have to tell him that I’m pregnant. Moving to Chicago was supposed to be my fresh start, not a front-row seat to Ethan Carter’s shirtless parade. My best friend swore the apartment she found me was perfect. She just forgot to mention I’d be sharing it with the team’s grumpy, tattooed, hot-as-sin captain. Then the team’s manager makes me the Event Manager for their Christmas charity gala. And who gets assigned to “lead” me? Ethan Freaking Carter. By day, he barks orders like I’m a rookie on his team. By night,...

"Poignant, philosophical, humorous, and wise. A part handbook on hockey and a part political satire, Charns’s latest book is both wholly hilarious and deeply reflecting. The narrative straightaway delves into prejudice based on gender, especially in the field of ice hockey, and the story that follows is periodically interrupted by Charns’s hilarious tips on the vigorous sport as he narrates his family story, including his son and daughter’s passion for the sport and his missteps as a hockey dad and husband." The Prairies Book Review. The excitement started when a hockey playing ...
