# Hockey (Check, Please!, #1)

by Ngozi Ukazu

Eric Bittle is a former Georgia junior figure skating champion, vlogger extraordinaire, and amateur pâtissier. But as accomplished as he is, nothing could prepare him for his freshman year of playing hockey at the prestigious Samwell University in Samwell, Massachusetts. It's nothing like co-ed club hockey back in the South! For one? There's checking. Second, there is Jack-his very attractive but moody captain.

A collection of the first half of the mega-popular webcomic series of the same name, Check, Please!: # Hockey is the first in 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.

Very cute book! I loved reading it! Eric was a great character! Very down to earth and fun to follow.

I didn’t care about hockey but after reading this, I wanted to be a part of a great hockey team like this one!

The book was very easy to read and flowed well, I pretty much read it all in one sitting. I really loved the art as well, it was amazing! Can’t wait for the sequel!

If Eric Bittle had a fan club, I would be president! It was hard not to fall for the pie-baking-southern-gentleman.

Check, Please! Was funny and sweet and bro-tastic! The Haus was full of so many interesting personalities, and I loved getting to know all the players on the team. The ending of year 2 left me with a HUGE smile on my face.

The outtakes were fun. I especially enjoyed Eric's tweets.

Be prepared to smile and laugh a lot when you read Check, Please!

I love everything about this. It's been awhile since I read the beginning of the web comic, so getting to read it again in a graphic novel form is A++++
