ABOUT HAT TRICK
Hat Trick is where the Shots on Goal world began.
At its heart, this story is about grief, healing, second chances, and finding connection in the middle of emotional devastation.
This isn’t just a hockey romance about attraction.
It’s about survival.
About learning how to live again after loss.
And about the terrifying vulnerability of allowing yourself to love after your world falls apart.
The emotional core of Hat Trick helped shape the entire Shots on Goal universe that followed.
A NOTE FROM KRISTEN
Creating the Hat Trick book club guide felt incredibly special because this story means so much to me personally.
This book helped build the emotional foundation of the entire Shots on Goal world, and seeing readers continue connecting with these characters years later honestly means everything to me.
Thank you for spending time with this story and for helping keep the Otters world alive.
