Book Synopsis: Are you a fan of the game of ice hockey? Do you see the beauty that comes from the intensity that takes place on the ice? Are you in need of an inspirational story or two? As a sport, ice hockey is an intense battle waged by two teams over a sheet of rock-hard ice, but the battles and stories that happen off the ice can be just as intense.
