Sponsored by Michigan vs. the Boys by Carrie S. Allen from KCP Loft
Michigan Manning lives for hockey, and this is her year to shine. That is, until she gets some crushing news: budget cuts will keep the girls’ hockey team off the ice this year. If she wants colleges to notice her, Michigan has to find a way to play. Luckily, there’s still one team left in town …
The boys’ team isn’t exactly welcoming, but Michigan’s prepared to prove herself. She plays some of the best hockey of her life, in fact, all while putting up with changing in the broom closet, constant trash talk and âharmlessâ pranks.
But once hazing crosses the line into assault, Michigan must weigh the consequences of speaking upâeven if it means putting her future on the line.
