This is a coming of age story and a romantic drama, college hockey is mostly just the backdrop. I feel that I should warn people expecting a sports story that, while there is definitely some hockey in this comic, the main focus of the book is on the various interpersonal relationships of the team and on the growth of our lead characters. He has been recruited to play on the school’s hockey team and he records a video blog where he shares updates on the trials and tribulations of his team, his growing crush on the team’s captain, Jack, and also baking tips and recipes. Bitty, is a former figure skater turned hockey player who is entering his freshman year of college. I hadn’t heard of the webcomic when I first picked this book up, but I was drawn to the cute art style and the promise of a touching romance… and maybe hockey?Įric Bittle, a.k.a.

Check, Please! began as an online comic and this volume collects the first half of the story, with updated art and some fun extras to give you added bang for your buck.
