that check please to real hockey stan pipeline. my first read of the year was this cute little graphic novel y’all may have heard of called check please. i read them both in a day and half and loved every single little part of them, and have since read EIGHT (working on number nine) other hockey books, attended a skills showcase for my local nhl team, bought tickets to two games, and actually watch a sport on tv now. i don’t really know how it spiraled so fast but honestly i’m not mad about it. i know sports stats and have favorite hockey players now, guys. who am i? . . . #checkplease #ngoziukazu #graphicnovel #queerhockeybooks #queersports #pridepuck #queerbookstagrammer #hockey #everyonecanplay #bookblog #readersofinstagram
