Description
Women hockey players finally go pro in a league of our own! Iced is a fast-paced action romance with all the highs and lows of sports for profit. Alison Guthrie, former hockey great, forty-plus lesbian and coach of the Toronto Teddies, shepherds her team through the league's first regular season, a tesne on-ice rivalry with the Hamilton Hurricanes, and a sparky off-ice flirtation with their gorgeous coach Val Warnica. A must-read for hockey fans, girl-jocks and anyone with an interest in the power of women's bodies at their best.
