Bitty is just a ray of sunshine!! He vlogs! He likes to bake! He just wants to be loved!.This lowkey reminds me of the AppleTV show, Ted Lasso, which is one of my favorite shows I seen lately.Maybe I am projecting how I wish my favorite players interact with each other onto these characters, but my favorite team just had a “scandal” with someone recording a private convo so YES I wish they were like the characters here.I love how supportive the guys are of each other there is no toxic masculinity here!!.They have the best glances and their pet names are very over the top, but so stinking cute. The main ship in this is so cute!! Once they get together they are just so wholesome and sweet together.And what I mean by that is I don’t like seeing the games on page, but I like the relationships that develop between people who are on the same team and exploring the connection the players have with each other. I love books about sports that are not really about sports.I’m not really a big sports fan (my almost obsessive love for college basketball aside see a book tag I made for march madness lol) so I was a bit hesitant to start this series because I don’t care about hockey, but when I saw a copy of volume 1 at my library and Jordan’s recommendation was fresh in my mind, I knew I had to pick it up. Volume 1 follows his freshman and sophomore year, while Volume 2 follows his junior and senior year.

The graphic novels are so wholesome and “Bro-y” in the best way. The graphic novels follow him as his confidence grows on and off the ice, his coming out as gay, his relationship, and his friendships.

Bitty is a former figure skater turned hockey player who loves baking and sharing his adventures through his vlog.
