Don't let the ridiculous cover keep you away! Also light on actual hockey so don't worry if you are interested except for the sport. While being hockey players is core to the two leads, it's much more of a setting than a plot thing. 

This is a great book - leads each have a unique voice and are complex characters. 

It is basically a character study as the leads go from rivals with sexual tension to falling in love over a decade with plenty of spice and very little plot, especially in the first half to two-thirds. With that being said, there is still character development for both leads with solid emotional pay off and it is genuinely funny at times.
