Emily James showed great promise as a figure skater, but has not been in the public eye in eight years, then when she stopped skating competitively without a public statement as to why. Now, she lives in Lakeville, Michigan, where she grew up, works as a waitress at Hildy's Gourmet Café owned by her deceased mother's best friend Hildy Perdy who has always been a second mother to her, and teaches group skating to children. Emily's decision to quit competitive skating was not because she lost her love for the activity, as demonstrated by the fact that she is at the rink every every morning before it opens, skating for her own pleasure, and by she always willing to help Dave Shelton, the rink/skate shop manager, with skating parties. One of her former child pupils, Nikki Lee, is where Emily was eight years ago: the face of figure skating future. A young man, Spencer Patterson, has just been hired as Nikki's new coach, he who is to take her to a gold medal at the upcoming regionals. If ...

Love on Ice (2017) Reviews
A Pleasant, Family-Friendly Film
Nearly all of the comments and reviews I've seen claim this film is a knockoff of the popular Japanese anime, Yuri!!! on Ice. It's true there are some similarities (though not nearly as many as some claim), but let's instead focus on the differences. This film has its flaws, but what it does well is provide a squeaky-clean, family-friendly story the entire family can enjoy. If you don't mind the usual Hallmark formula, then this might very well be a film for you. The characters bring a refreshing wholesomeness to the screen, and the setting feels familiar and pleasant. Grab some hot chocolate and a blanket, kick back with Mom on the sofa, and give Love on Ice a try! It's a feel-good film, and it's perfect for the audience it's geared toward.
Pleasant but not as good as some of the others
I expected this to be romantic, but it was more a movie about encouragement, positivity, and that attaining your goals should be enjoyable. Andrew Walker plays Spencer, who I loved in the Hallmark movie A Dream for Christmas. Spencer, a figure skating coach, is hired to coach a young, talented, figure skater named Nikki. Nikki's mother is one of those pushy, demanding, moms whose only goal is to see her daughter win. When Spencer arrives in town, he heads to the local coffee shop where he meets Emily. Emily is a part-time waitress at the coffee shop and also teaches figure skating at the local rink. More than that, Emily was a talented skater who dropped out of the Midwest Trials eight years ago. Spencer immediately knows who she is and convinces her to start training for the trials again and offers to coach her. There is an attraction between Spencer and Emily, but I don't think there was any real chemistry that came through on camera. I was hoping for a little more romance. Other subplots were interesting, but one, in particular, was left open. I felt the ending left me feeling cut off. Overall it was a pleasant movie but not as touching as some of the other Hallmark movies.
Pass on this one
Most Hallmark movies flow well. Julie has zero chemistry and depth in this movie. Much like on general hospital, her facial expression doesn't convince the audience of anything. Floundering plot drags.
Don't listen to the Yaoi on Ice fanboy and definitely don't watch Yaoi on Ice.
This movie is a nice story. Only thing similar to that atrocity of an anime is the name. Seriously. DO NOT WATCH THAT ANIME FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. It is extremely over-hyped, the characters are trash. The music is trash. Pretty much everything is trash about it. If you want to watch a good Yaoi story then look up "Sensitive Pornograph." It's a 1 episode OVA with a far better love story than all 12 episodes of Yaoi on Ice.
Mediocre, but decent
I thought this movie explored too many plots, the acting was stilted and they didn't focus enough on what ought to have counted. Contrary to popular belief, the story is not an absolute Yuri!! On Ice knock-off, though there are similarities. If you want a feel-good film, with little story and just the warm fuzzies for a cold winter evening to watch with your parents, siblings, pets or spouce; this movie will do.
