Why surprise pregnancy works on the ice

The pregnancy forces a decision. Two people who might have drifted apart have to decide what they are to each other, often in public, with a team and the press watching.

Expect second chance and friends-to-lovers overlap, a hero who is wildly overprotective and at least one scene of a hockey player reading every baby book ever written.

Some of the genre's long-running series use this trope in their later books, so it is also a good way to revisit couples you already love.

Readers who love these books often reach for second chance hockey romance, forbidden hockey romance and friends to lovers hockey romance next. You can also browse every hockey romance trope or go back to the full hockey romance directory.

New to the genre? Wikipedia covers the history of the romance novel and how a game of ice hockey works.
