This is a book about what many people consider the greatest of all sports. Yet, it is more than a story about hockey and its power to bring out the very best in people. Like TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, this is a story of how a few people in a small town stand up to prejudice and racial inequality. Through an incredible hockey team, issues of class, courage, inequality, compassion and gender roles are explored with an undercurrent plea for tolerance and justice It is a coming of age saga about Monte and Ted, two young hockey players on a town team that has a new coach who has vowed to turn what is termed an un-coachable pack of rogues into a cohesive team of winners. These boys become enamoured with a young Cree maiden who has a dark secret that has kept her on the periphery of respectability for many years. Is she really the dark force of evil that so many portray her to be? One of the two young men will find out much more than expected when going in search of the truth.
