For Fans of Check, Please! A Webcomic about Hockey, College, and the Frequent Baking of Pies
Bitty Day All Day

I mean, look at this kid. How brave do you have to be to walk into this situation and just own it so completely, no matter how nervous you are. Just slide on in, bake some pies, score some goals, win the team captain's heart. Eric Bittle is winning at life, no doubt. What a badass!




I think Bitty must be a damn good athlete in general. Jack said it himself at a time when he wasn't friends with Bitty - he's got good hands, he's a good skater, the only thing standing between him and being an outstanding hockey player is the mental block about getting hit. And to make the transition from "champion figure skater" to "above-average hockey player" in just a couple years, to be able to at least hold his own playing with and against kids who started playing hockey before they could walk...
(also while people go on about Jack's butt I suspect Bitty has the best legs on the team. people tend to overlook it because they're distracted by sequins but figure skaters are also serious athletes...)
My favorite! He's just so precious!
Eric Bittle for everything. I just love him so much.
