All Comments on 'The Ice in Russia'

I must say, you make this site worth it!

I have loved all of these stories! The first one was my favorite, but the rest have been awesome as well*

To give you a few more ideas... I like Jordan Staal and Tyler Kennedy and Evgeni Malkin and Marc-Andre Fleury from the Pens, Joffrey Lupul from the Ducks (previously Flyers, Simeon Varlomov from the Caps, and Eric Staal from the Canes*

I'm sure there are others too! lol, but these were the ones who came to mind right away*

I'm sure no matter who you choose, it will be wonderful!!!!!!!!!

Wow, a story for me. Happy dance! It was great, it really was. Very sweet. Thanks, Mugsy. :)

It is very easy to see why most of your stories have earned a red H. You have written several sequels. Do you plan to write a sequel for this story?

I loooove your ice stories, even though I'm not an ice hockey fan myself, I have thing for sportsmen and I don't deny drooling over sidney crosby time to time :P Please continue both this story and Max's story!! Would LOVE to read more!

i've really enjoyed your ice stories. I'm a big hockey fan, and have really liked what you've done with the characters. I really hope you keep up with the many many yummy hockey players there are to choose from.

Was very beautiful! I'm really enjoying all the ice stories :) you are a wonderful writer!

dont stop there!! i wanna know more about what happens next? a winter wedding in moscow? maybe a sweet engagement? anything just give us at least one more chapter!!!

i dont know much about hockey but i love the stories!

I love these stories! Gives me my hockey fix in the off-season! I'd love to see more with Anatoli and Lena. Unfortunately, I don't have one specific player I liked. I just LOVE hockey....of course, the Red Wings are my favorite team.

Got into your ice stories by seeing 'Trading Ice' in the 'New' section and have read them all since! These stories are clever, witty and best of all - realistic! They could actually happen!

I have to say that I am not much of a fan of hockey here at home, not since my school days when EVERYONE who was ANYONE went to see the Nottingham Panthers play, so I couldn't give any specific names of the players, so I will have to be content with immersing myself in your stories and trying to figure out who they are based on!

The Russian Orthodox Church follows the old Julian calendar, so their Christmas is not until 7th January. All the celebrations (Midnight Mass etc) on 24th-25th December in this story just don't happen. BUT, like I put in the title, I really loved the story, and would really like to see another chapter (or two, or three...).

love your hockey stories! this one might be my favorite so far. keep them coming!

Being a huge hockey fan I initially read the first Ice story with a bit of trepidation thinking it'd be another brainless hockey fic. I don't know the last time I was so happy to be wrong! I absolutely adore them! While AO isn't my favourite player of the three you've written, this might be my favourite of the stories. Please keep doing them!

Love all your hockey stories! And if you're looking for subjects, I'd have to suggest my team....the Carolina Hurricanes!

Anatoli reminds me of Alexander Ovechkin.

Loving someone writing about hockey and love. I'm a big fan of goalies and the way they have a different type of personality from most of the rest of the team. Could you write a story about one of them?

Alexander the Great. Ooh la la.

You're an amazing writer - I'm wondering now if your SC story must (most likely) be about The Kid. If so, I'm off to read it....

You rock!!!

I love each of your ice hockey romance and this one is smothering hot!

I have become a big fan of this player since reading this story. I'm glad I read the story before I started learning about the player, though. At least from everything I've read (which, of course, may or may not be accurate), some of this probably would be uncharacteristic for "Anatoli." I get the impression that in, um, real life he prefers only Russian girls. But I guess that's the great thing about fiction, he can date whoever you want him to date!

All that being said, I wish "Anatoli" had someone like Lena to comfort him after the Olympic disaster and get him back on track! As of last night it looks like he might be getting back to him old self. I guess its fun to think there might be someone like Lena behind the scenes!

I'm a hockey fanatic, so let's just say when I found your stories, I became slightly more fanatical. I love how fast everything moved here--not overly, i-don't-know-how-to-make-this-seem-realistic fast, but dude. Maybe I should catch a flight to Moscow.

But you probably just didn't know. In Russian-Orthodox service, the service is divided into 3 parts. And non-orthodox can stay for the first two parts, but the 3rd part is only for those of the faith. Just a small notion that popped into my head when I was reading about the church part. Otherwise, I must commend your writing. It is superb. The hockey stories are my some of my favorites on this site.

Very touching. Good work!

Anatoli is a Greek name and Oborotenski is Polish. Decidedly un-Russian. And the guy this is based on is VERY Russian.

Thank you for your interest in my story. I can't help but reply to your most assured correction.

In reality, Anatoli may be a more commonly used Greek name, however on several large 'baby name' sites - which I use as research for my stories - there are also Russian origins for Anatoli. Incidentally, Alexander, the 'real' name for this character is a total Greek name.

As for Oborotenski, it's a completely fabricated surname so I find it interesting that you say it's Polish in origin. I suppose I could have accidentally stumbled across a Polish surname, and if so, it was an honest mistake.

Thank you for taking the time to read my work though and I hope my minor errors won't keep you from enjoying the story itself.

Take care!

I was born in Russia and let me tell you, there are millions of Anatolis. It's such a common name that there's no room for dispute.

7. Patches of Ice (AO and Lena):

Was browsing for Russian-themed stories & stumbled across this gem. There don't seem to be many Russian stories on here, and the few they have are kinda bland.

But this was hot & steamy.... plus I LOVED the characters!! So happy to see an American woman/Russian man story :)

I, myself, am quite fond of Russia and I could totally relate to Lena. There's just something about the place that calls to me, and if I could ever find my own "Anatoli" (he doesn't even have to be a hockey player, haha), I would be in 7th heaven!!

Love your story!!

Too long. Too coincidental.

Nicely written

I've read several of your hockey stories and have enjoyed them all. I hope you keep writing, and don't mind the political comments. They fail to understand that the story is about PEOPLE, not ideology.

Thanks again for a great story.

has changed since this was written.

A good story, nice to read, but maybe too fast in my opinion. Anyway, I liked it a lot.

5 * for you.

I apologize for my English, is not my native language.

What a wonderful quick romance.

I must say your sex scenes were truly HOT!!!

Detailed...yet not anatomical, if you know what I mean.

Very erotic.

Thank you

Wow! Very nice steamy holiday romance story! I love stories where the hero is Russian and the heroine is American and I liked that this was mostly set in Russia. Loved the steamy scenes and Anatoli and Lena. Made me interested in ice hockey

While I wear his jersey no more than once or twice a week, this old story withstands the test of time. Alex Ovechkin is still an amazing hockey super star, still one of the best in the NHL, still setting records in spite of Covid and its numerous variants. While he does have a Russian wife, she seems closer to Lena than his prior loves (all blondes). BTW: his two kids were born in the US; I guess they're duo citizens now.

Many thanks for including the marvelous Sergei Federov in the story -- another truly great hockey super star and super personality.

so so...

i got lost!
