The Goal

Dave Stubbs (Montreal Gazette ),Philip Caddell,Andrew Caddell

Andrew Caddell, Dave Stubbs and Philip Caddell have written for readers of all ages a wonderful collection of short stories about Canada’s passion for hockey. Ranging from the 1935 Stanley Cup to the present day, The Goal is a salute to the fans who pay to watch, the kids who play the game and the players who never made it. I have always maintained that you cannot understand a country until you understand the game it plays most passionately. This, then, is more than a book about hockey-it is about the very soul of Canada. Roy MacGregor, Author of Home Team (Governor General’s Award Finalist) You can feel the cold and hear the cut of skates on a backyard rink-these stories about one family’s love of the game will resonate with anyone who’s worshipped a hockey hero or played the game at any level. Roger Smith, former CTV News Reporter There is a timeless charm to the stories of The Goal. They bridge the old-timer’s longing for past glory with the rookie’s discovery of Canada’s greatest game. The Ottawa Review of Books
