When Bea's middle school gym floods, students are encouraged to join extra-curricular sports. Bea's only other experience with team sports wasn't good, but her best friend, Celia convinces her that joining a girl's hockey team will be fun. Eventually, Bea does really begin to enjoy hockey and the new friendships she makes. Unfortunately, the team doesn't have much funding and may not survive the semester. Also, Bea makes some poor decisions with her friendships, creating tension. This is an interesting story. Fans of hockey would definitely enjoy it. I did find this Silver Birch 2026 nominee to be a little longer than it needed to be, but that could be because I'm not a hockey fan.
