"Moments of insight and empathy don't jar or weigh down the story, but are deftly woven into the hometown hockey narrative. It's not surprising how well-crafted the book is given the pedigree of its authors." -- Quill & Quire "A fun tale of friendship, co-operation and cultural diversity." -- Ottawa Citizen "A good choice for readers of all abilities who enjoy hockey mysteries. Recommended." -- CM Magazine "An entertaining adventure that will appeal to young readers. What's not to like?" -- Metroland Media "A charming novel for younger kids who know what it means to get out there and play." -- Mabel's Fables Bookstore "Good frozen fun!" -- Kevin Sylvester, illustrator of Great and author of the Neil Flambé Capers "Magic and hockey and history! What a combination for young readers.

The lively and diverse characters and super fun plot are combined with a famous real-life hockey player. So creative. What a magical read!" -- Lorna Schultz Nicholson, author of the Puckster picture-book series "A funny, heartwarming story about friendship, hockey, and the magic that can happen when you believe in yourself. You don't have to be a hockey fan to enjoy this book, but after reading it you just might be!" -- Cyndi Marko, author and illustrator of the Kung Pow Chicken series.
