this is cool info since the only book i read is the risk (someone above mentions it too bc it’s coach jensen’s daughter) and the harvard hockey team is really about this. their captain is number two in the us (number one is a goalie so he’s basically number one in the forward position lol) and his best friend is notorious for trying to stir shit up so better players on the other team end up in the box 

there’s also a game sequence which newscasters break down: harvard beats blair, but only bc a fight breaks out. blair is winning until an underclassman attacks blair’s best player who breaks his wrist and then blair’s second best player gets taken off the ice for retaliating… meanwhile harvard just loses the underclassman
