Eric Bittle may be a former junior figure skating champion, vlogger extraordinaire, and very talented amateur p tissier, but being a freshman on the Samwell University hockey team is a whole new challenge. It is nothing like co-ed club hockey back in Georgia First of all? There's checking (anything that hinders the player with possession of the puck, ranging from a stick check all the way to a physical sweep). And then, there is Jack--his very attractive but moody captain.
A collection of the first half, freshmen and sophomore year, of the megapopular webcomic series of the same name, Check, Please : #Hockey is the first book of a hilarious and stirring two-volume coming-of-age story about hockey, bros, and trying to find yourself during the best four years of your life. This book includes updated art and a hilarious, curated selection of Bitty's beloved tweets.

This wonderful graphic novel follows Eric Bittle, a freshman at Samwell University, on his journey through college. Eric is a passionate hockey player, and an amazing baker and vlogger. You feel such a sense of love from his teammates; you share in the glory of every win of his team and your heart breaks with every loss. The art pulled me in, but I stayed for the story. Even non sports fans out there, like me, can enjoy this lovely story.
HPB Staff ReviewVery sweet story about belief in oneself with a great LGBT+ protagonist. Definitely recommend this and its sequel.
