Reviews
In hockey, there is a tradition: win or lose, you rise to the challenge ....the story has an ingenuous wisdom. A fine look into hockey's heart. -Kirkus Reviews
"Hockey Hero.... is a fun story written with a lot of heart .... For those who enjoy stories of underdogs, family traditions, and sporting events (particularly hockey-related), Hockey Hero will be an entertaining and inspiring read." -CM Magazine
