The NHL team recently scrubbed its TikTok profile of all of its steamy videos of its players — which was inspired by romance readers’ fandom — after athlete Alex Wennberg and his wife, Felicia Wennberg, slammed the online comments as harassment.
“So I’ve joked before and called my husband booktooks [sic] w*nkb*nk and honestly did not mind,” Felicia, who married the 28-year-old NHL star in August 2022, wrote via her Instagram Story late last month. “I always thought Alex was the most beautiful person in the world and that it just seems the world finally caught up to it. The reason I struggled to navigate this — while I’m all for female empowerment and especially around sex — there has been videos and comments made that has crossed the line of what it means to fancy someone and when it actually sounds pretty predatory and exploiting.”
The onslaught of hockey-set romance novels (such as Hannah Grace’s Icebreaker and Helena Hunting’s Pucked) soon sparked a trend among TikTok’s community of book readers, where users even compared their favorite “book boyfriends” to real-life athletes. According to Felicia, influencers have taken their fandom of Alex and his teammates too far after they started chanting “Krack my back” — a play on the sexual innuendo “break my back” — at games.
“What doesn’t sit with me is when your desires come with sexual harassment, inappropriate comments and the fact that, with the Internet, we can normalize behavior that would never be OK if we flipped the genders around to a guy doing this to a female athlete,” Felicia — who welcomed son Rio in September 2021 with Alex — added in
