Reid, a hockey fan, said "Game Changers came from a place of me being angry at hockey culture and how clearly homophobic it was and is, and all the other things that made me really ashamed to be a hockey fan. That whole series attacks the NHL and hockey culture quite a bit.” Through writing the series, Reid questioned what it would mean to be a closeted player in a league with such a homophobic culture. "I thought a lot about what it would feel like to come out. And then I started thinking about the ripple effect—what would happen to the other players?"The book can be purchased at a discount at da Shop and Small Kine Gift.
