Description

As Stompin Tom Connors sings, Its the good old hockey game, the best game you can name. And in this charmingly illustrated book for all ages, the classic song played at hockey games around the world is imagined as a shinny game on an outdoor rink in the middle of the city that starts with two players and soon grows to include the whole community. The puck is in! The hometown wins! The good ol hockey game.

Reviews
