Grab your skates, cause there's some new BookTok drama that does not involve books. 


This past year, Hockey romances have become a favorite for a subset of BookTok creators. Books like “Ice Breaker” by Hannah Grace and “Pucking Around” by Emily Rath have become bestsellers.


This led to a ton of engagement on professional hockey teams’ social media pages. And a lot of thirsty comments. Like super thirsty. However, the thirst for hockey players has gone too far, at least according to one NHL wife. 


Felicia Wennberg, the wife of Seattle Kraken’s center Alex Wennberg, posted on her Instagram Stories asking fans and book-tokers to stop the constant sexual harassment of her husband.




“Again, I genuinely don’t care about the comments about my husband's looks, He is so beautiful, right?” Wennberg’s story reads. “…What doesn’t sit with me is when your desires come with sexual harassment, inappropriate comments, and the fact that with the internet we can normalize behavior[s] that would never be ok if we flipped the genders around to a guy doing this to a female athlete.”

She showed a screenshot from Booktok creator, Kierra Lewis’s comment section, saying “The score in all 3 of my holes took me out.”


“I mean no hate on the booktok community[.] Just a little request for people to think twice about their comments/video or chanting “Krack my back at humans with feelings,” concluded Wenneberg's statement.


Lewis is a prominent booktok creator and her videos on hockey drew a lot of popularity. During the playoffs, Lewis was invited by the Seattle Kraken to make content at the game and was gifted a booktok jersey.




One video shows her yelling “Krack my back” to players warming up on the ice.


Lewis has made upwards of 5 (now deleted) videos about feeling attacked by Wennberg’s wife and the Seattle Kraken, who have unfollowed her.



In them, Lewis accuses Felicia and the Seattle Kraken of feeding into the thirsty hockey comments and using BookTok for clout. 


“To see these accusations or see people mad about me saying ‘krack my f-ing back’, baby it’s TikTok,” she dismissed.



Lewis shows her DM apology to Felicia saying she was open to deleting any video that made her uncomfortable. Felicia did not respond.


As the drama escalated, Alex Wennberg posted his own Instagram Story statement similar to his wife’s.


“I’m all for the booktok community to write books and fiction about hockey but the aggressive language about real-life players is too much… All we ask for is a little respect and common sense regarding moving forward,” stated the athlete.


Lewis has her supporters but when the drama came over to X (Twitter), users were shocked at the ordeal.



“So let’s get this straight, a real person that you’ve been objectifying online said that made her uncomfortable, and your reaction is to call her “this Felicia chick,” and then imply she’s “riding booktok’s coattails for the clout? What. Girl she’s MARRIED TO HIM,” pointed out @itsmitchmarney.  



“This booktok/hockey player/sexual harassment mess… in my day we just called a hockey player hot and moved on with our lives. What happened to that ladies,” asked @zedonarrival.


It’s a great thing to remember that no matter how hot the book portrayals of hockey players are, it does not give you permission to be a sex pest. What happened to shame? Where is the decorum? This is someone’s workplace!
