"Isabel Norris has never left the ice. Her father was a hockey legend who died before she was born, and her grandparents raised her in his skates." "When Iz leaves her grandmother behind to play for the Winnipeg University Scarlets, she struggles to fit in on this team of hard-hitting, tough-talking women with a penchant for buffets, beer bongs and raunchy humour - and a fierce loyalty to one another and to their sport. But in their raucous midst, Iz can't quite find her own place in the game." "As she moves between the rowdy hilarity of the Scarlets' dressing room and quiet, lyrical contemplations, Iz tries to navigate the ways loss plays out on the ice, and the ways the sport both haunts and redeems the lives of the women who play it."--Jacket.
