(About the Author) Mike Maloni writes, "Hockey and more! The best things I could believe in about the game of hockey and my hometown came out in this novel. With my battle against mental illness, this book is number seven, even though I wanted to write it first. This one is about home, and the characters showed me that as my thoughts were about showing people the hockey action on the ice, there was also the spirit of my city, which I can enjoy fully now because of advances in medication and therapy. I truly hope you enjoy this one, because it teaches young people that they can be the best." His next novel is about college basketball and is set at his alma mater, Boston University.
