Hockey is not only Canada’s national pastime but its enduring passion. In this collection
of fourteen real-life stories, authors Andrew Caddell and Dave Stubbs explore
the many different sides of the game. In The Girl you’ll meet a young woman
who helped pave the way for the stars of today’s women’s game, while in The Gentleman
a spinster aunt’s lifelong wish comes true when she meets Habs superstar
Jean Beliveau. The Rink details the uniquely Canadian fascination with creating
the perfect backyard skating surface, while in The Nation Andrew Caddell ponders
the age-old question: Can a lifelong Canadiens fan embrace Leafs nation? Ten
other stories add nuance and depth to this compelling look at our national game.
