![The cover of the book “Cutting Edge: Hockey as Queer Culture” by Daniel Gawthrop. Stacked text above reads, “Happy book birthday,” along with the book's title and subtitle and the author's name. Below, footer text lists the publisher, Arsenal Pulp Press, and their website, arsenal pulp [dot] com. The painted abstract background is pale purple and has the publisher’s logomark (a circle with an off-centre jagged cross cut through) in the top-right.
On the book cover, the silhouettes of two hockey players holding hockey sticks face each other, with one player on the upper right-hand side and the other player on the lower left-hand side, on a dark purple background. The silhouettes have a gradient of green, blue, and light purple. The title and subtitle, “Cutting Edge: Hockey as Queer Culture,” appear in the top left corner. The author’s name, “Daniel Gawthrop,” appears in the bottom right corner. Below the player on the right is text that reads, “An incredibly timely and personal examination of hockey at its cultural crossroads. —Ren Dawe, You Can Play.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:iya26ik7fy2b6hyuxs6ztvbv/bafkreicerafh3sls2j4jgsru6akgicaj5tab2cfr7b3awozubplq6qdmgy)
