Netflix is heading to the rink and officially getting into the hockey romance game.
The streamer announced an adaptation of Hannah Grace’s best-selling romance novel, Icebreaker, Monday at the Banff World Media Festival. The novel is the first in Grace’s college-set Maple Hills series.
“Netflix has a long history of turning beloved romance novels into massive global hits. We know our members can’t get enough of these stories, which makes Icebreaker the perfect next chapter for us,” said Jinny Howe, Netflix’s head of scripted series in the U.S. and Canada.
Icebreaker — one of, if not the, most recognizable titles in the hockey romance sub-genre — centers around the relationship between a college hockey player and a college figure skater.
