I can hardly wait for the beloved rom-com series Off Campus, based on Elle Kennedy's iconic novels, which means I need plenty of ice skating and hockey romances to hold me over until then.

Well, if you, like me, can’t wait for the upcoming rom-com Off Campus, there are a ton of cute films within the ice skating and hockey genre that’ll sustain you until the series premieres. Here are the best ones.
