Thanks to u/nagel_bagel for prompting me to post this! Are there any scenes in particular you’re excited to see from Shane and/or Ilya’s point of view?Īnything else you want to share? Feel free to add your own questions in the comments! I think Long Game is going to be largely set over this same season. What did you think of that? I think most of us can agree that was fan service, but did it work or did it overshadow Troy and Harris?

Thoughts on the sexual assault / rape culture / etc piece of it? It’s inclusion, how it was handled, how individual characters reacted, how it ties into issues with the actual NHL Thoughts on non-Ilya, non-puppy side characters? Harris’s family, coworkers (was it Gen?), the nice understanding coach, the villainous commissioner, Dallas, etc Thoughts on the puppy! Was he suitably adorable? Did he add much to the plot, or was he just there to be cute? Did you like where he ended up? Thoughts on Harris! Did he have enough of a growth arc? Thoughts on Troy! Was his redemption arc handled well for you? Overall thoughts and opinions - what worked? What didn’t? How did it fit into your overall ranking of the series? (Feel free to share your rank order of all 5 books!) What rating did you give Role Model? (stars or whatever other system you use) I’m going to include some discussion questions and prompts, but feel free to ignore these and talk about whatever you want!

This thread is spoiler-filled, so turn back now if you want to avoid those! So, shocker shocker, I read Role Model (the newest book in Rachel Reid’s fantastic MM hockey series, Game Changers) in like two sittings on release day, and I am DYING to talk about it with people.
