Sunny, optimistic, and sentimental, the Toronto history teacher and hockey fan wants nothing more than to score a well-deserved promotion and see her beloved Maple Leafs win the Cup. But like her team, hardworking Georgie faces an uphill battle and knows nothing is guaranteed, so she puts dating and relationships on ice to focus on her goal-that is, when she's not at the arena cheering on her Leafs. Some loves you just can't quit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHockey has never warmed Oliver Jönsson's Swedish heart.

Lectures, academic papers, fundraisers-Oliver's at the top of his game, and his expertise earns him a position at Toronto's most celebrated museum. There's only one problem: his curriculum for visiting students is dryer than the Sahara, and bad reviews are flooding in.
