Women on TikTok have given ice hockey arenas new names: boy aquariums.
Since the introduction of both hockey-themed romance books, such as Icebreaker, and television shows like Heated Rivalry, women have started turning to the sport for both entertainment and the chance to potentially find their next boyfriend. In doing so, they have flooded social media with videos documenting their experiences, comparing male players at ice hockey arenas to fish in an aquarium, birthing the term “boy aquarium.”
