Things didn’t like:
?I felt Sebastian, the professor MC, was somewhat selfish in how much pressure he put on Tristan , the Hockey player MC, to come out ; without fully understanding and discussing the impact and fall out, personally and professionally that might happened once Tristan announce it to the HNF , the Media and the Public in general.
I mean, Sebastian knew , how his own extended family reacted to his coming out and how his relationship with his father was affected; so , I felt as he didn’t have empathy to Tristan feelings.
?There was a lot and I mean A LOT , of Hockey talk. It slow down a bit the flow of the story .
In conclusion , I enjoyed listening/reading , Off The Ice By: Avon Gale, Piper Vaughn . I am satisfied with how the conflict was resolved. I loved how accepting and open minded Tristan’s teammates and coach turned out be. Tristan and Sebastian future seem to be in solid ground and a bright future together.
