About this eBook

A. L. Graziadei's Icebreaker is an irresistible YA debut about two hockey players fighting to be the best—and the romance that catches them by surprise along the way.

Seventeen-year-old Mickey James III is a college freshman, a brother to five sisters, and a hockey legacy. With a father and a grandfather who have gone down in NHL history, Mickey is almost guaranteed the league's top draft spot.

The only person standing in his way is Jaysen Caulfield, a contender for the #1 spot and Mickey's infuriating (and infuriatingly attractive) teammate. When rivalry turns to something more, Mickey will have to decide what he really wants, and what he's willing to risk for it.

This is a story about falling in love, finding your team (on and off the ice), and choosing your own path.

Ratings and reviews

I constantly go back to scenes and reread them because they always send chills down my spine. I cried and laughed and I searched for similar books, googled the author and looked for fanfics just so I could feel the feeling I had reading the book a little longer. One of the best books I read this year

Love this book so 5 stars ❤️ but it feels like it's missing more detailed action between the two (you know what I mean 😉). but I guess since it focused more on mickey's struggle with depression

Absolutely loved this book and the beautiful pace at which it moves. The struggle of Mickey is captured so poignantly and the characters around him are brought to life in beautiful detail. I loved it from start to finish. ❤️❤️❤️
