Welcome to the Hockey Rivals Books Blog

Welcome!
I’m super-excited to be launching a website showcasing my Hockey Rivals novels for young adults. I wrote the first one, Face-Off, when I was a teenager and published the second one, Offsides, 26 years later. As it turns out, even 26 years later, there aren’t a lot of YA novels about ice hockey, and Face-Off’s popularity has only increased with time.
I’m also thrilled to be launching a blog that will showcase other sports novels and posts of interest to hockey families. I’m accepting guest posts, so if you have an idea, feel free to message me through my contact page.
Stay tuned for more posts!


Stacy Juba wrote her first young adult novel, Face-Off, when she was 16 years old because she couldn’t find any fiction books to read about ice hockey. It was published during her freshman year in college, and she hasn’t stopped writing since. She published the sequel, Offsides, 26 years later and was excited to continue the story of rival twin brothers Brad and T.J. McKendrick. Stacy is also the author of acclaimed mystery novels and the humorous Storybook Valley Theme Park chick lit novels for adults, as well as The Flag Keeper picture book about the U.S. Flag Code.
