Jeb wanted to be a professional hockey player. He spent all his youth playing hockey and neglected his school work. However the only reason he did not play in the NHL was because he was Black. Now in his old age he feels bitter and depressed as he spends all his time watering the outdoor hockey rink. A black boy on one of the local hockey teams is struggling because of his hockey skills. The boy also struggles in school. Old Jeb decides to give the boy some hockey lessons; and in doing so old Jed finds redemption by helping the young boy to succeed. This book is dedicated to Willie O'Ree, the first Black player to play in the NHL (National Hockey League, The Boston Bruins).
