The Netflix series adaptation of “Icebreaker” has found its two leads.

Variety has learned exclusively that Daisy Jelley and Connor Simos will star in the series take on the Hannah Grace novel of the same name in the roles of Anastasia “Stassie” Allen and Nate Hawkins, respectively. The show was originally announced at Netflix back in June.

The logline for the show states, “She’s the transfer gunning for Olympic gold. He’s the campus star chasing the NHL. But when an accident forces their teams to share one rink, Anastasia Allen and Nate Hawkins collide—and discipline gives way to obsession, because the only thing more dangerous than wanting to win is wanting each other.”
