In post-apocalyptic Canada, mutants use hockey games to battle for resources - until some cold-blooded killers from Cold Lake change the stakes.

In post-apocalyptic Canada, guns don't kill people - slapshots do. For the mutated tribes trying to survive nuclear winter - which is like normal Canadian winter, just more radioactive - hockey serves as a form of ritual warfare in which communities gamble their resources on the abilities of their squad to score goals and bust heads on the ice.

Stretch, the Edmonton Atomics' goalie, is living his best life - everything is hockey! He's living his dream, but where did his enthusiasm for it go? When did it start to feel so ordinary? Stretch doesn't have long to ponder these questions, because if he can't focus on stopping pucks, the people of Edmonton are going to be the next victims of the Cold Lake SLASHERS!

Hockeypocalypse: Slashers is a standalone horror graphic novel set in the Hockeypocalypse setting created by Jeff Martin, with collaboration from Lukasz Kowalczuk.
