About this series
Gabrielle grew up in the shadow of Five-Hole Billy. When she becomes a goaltender, she carries two important lessons with her. Don't rely on the fans for support and always protect the five-hole.
Isolated by the nature of her position and her personality, she struggles to fit in with her team. On the ice, she guards the net, the last line of defense when their efforts fail. Off the ice, her team views her as a girl, not a teammate, as if she can't be more than one thing at once.
She doesn't have the patience for their lack of understanding. She resigns herself to a quiet, lonely career set apart from her team. And then she gains a new teammate, someone outgoing enough to overcome her social awkwardness but who always respects the boundaries she sets. He meets her where she is, and she does the same in return.

- Lighting the Lamp: Sophie Fournier, #3
3
Entering her third season, Sophie Fournier has almost everything she wants. She's the captain of the Concord Condors, she's roommates and linemates with Elsa Nyberg, the elite Swedish winger she's wanted to play alongside since the Zurich U-Tourney. There are two major things she's missing, though. She doesn't have her next contract lined up, and she still hasn't won the Maple Cup, hockey's most coveted prize. If she wins the Cup, she'll have leverage going into her contract negotiations. And, in case she needed more motivation, this is Benoit Delacroix's final season as a Concord Condor, and she's determined he won't retire without lifting the Cup.
- Power Play: Sophie Fournier, #5
5
After two seasons without winning another Maple Cup, the pressure is on for Sophie Fournier to win the NAHL's biggest prize. It's her sixth season in the North American Hockey League, and she knows what she needs to do, and how to do it. Only, she isn't the only one feeling the pressure to win. Coach Butler's job is in jeopardy if he can't repeat the success from Sophie's third season. As his vision for the team drifts away from Concord's identity, Sophie is left with a difficult choice. Does she unite the team behind Coach Butler's vision and risk losing her team's identity? Or, does she unite the Condors against their coach and risk her captaincy and her future with the team?
- Grounded: Sophie Fournier, #6

Sophie's coach was fired over the summer but not before he took several parting shots at Sophie's character and dedication to her sport and her team. Her coach's firing, her own injury, and her team's whimpering exit from the playoffs weren't the ideal way to end a season, but Sophie's looking forward to a fresh start. If Sophie is on the ice, everything makes sense. She can navigate a new coach, she can handle a strained relationship with Elsa, and she can breathe hope back into her franchise. An unprecedented hot start to the season sees Sophie breaking NAHL records. She has her sights set on Bobby Brindle's point streak record, the one she fell short of breaking in her rookie season. With personal success comes team success, and Concord has a resurgence on the back of Sophie's accomplishments. And then she's injured. She has to spend the rest of the season on the sidelines, and it forces her to confront a question she has never considered before. Who is Sophie Fournier when she isn't playing hockey?
