In an interview with People, Lynn Painter said she was inspired to write Fake Skating after noticing that "there aren’t many hockey rom-coms set in high school". I wrote in the article that she noticed a "lack of hockey-centered romantic comedies set in high school", because well, that's pretty much what she said. This has been edited multiple times to be "ice hockey", a change I oppose. Lynn Painter might have meant specifically ice hockey when she said that. She describes ice hockey as simply "hockey" in other parts of the article, after all. However, I do not think we should be assuming she meant specifically ice hockey in this context. What she said is not exclusive to ice hockey—other forms of hockey are also underrepresented in romcoms set in high school. She could have noticed a lack of high school hockey romcoms in general, and then when she had to choose which form of hockey to write about, she wrote about ice hockey. Even if she meant specifically ice hockey, ice hockey is a form of hockey, and what she said is true about all forms of hockey. Since she specifies "ice hockey", we shouldn't assume that's what she meant just because she refers to ice hockey as hockey in other parts of the article (when the context is clearly about ice hockey so she doesn't need to specify). If it is clear in the original context that she is talking about specifically ice hockey (which, again, I don't think it is), then it should be just as clear in this context too, since I have just changed the following sentence to say specifically ice hockey, since Minnesota is a specifically ice hockey-focused state.

She absolutely meant ice hockey specifically—because that's what Americans mean when they say "hockey"; if one wants to refer to other forms of hockey, they must be specified (field hockey, street hockey, etc). Also she mentions in the interview that she travelled to Minnesota, where ice hockey is practically a religion, to observe the hockey culture there. But I'm not going to continue to scrap over it if you want to insist she might have meant something other than what she plainly meant. —ShelfSkewedTalk06:53, 20 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
