Gretzky's Game (Hockey Heroes Series)

By Mike Leonetti

Book Overview

Part of The Hockey Heroes series, Gretzky's Game tells the story of a young boy who loves to play hockey. Because he's small for his age, he's always getting pushed around by the other players. However, he's determined to make the team -- even though it means a lot of extra practice just to pass the tryout. Throughout the long hours at the rink, the thrilling exploits of his hero, Wayne Gretzky, who is leading the Edmonton Oilers to their first-ever Stanley Cup, inspire him to keep trying. Hockey's golden age is recalled in vivid detail in this tale of hard work, determination, and the importance of holding on to one's dreams.

TERRIFIC book for children who are hockey fans!

This is a wonderful book which I purchased for my 9-year old son. I think he has read it 3 or 4 times already. He loves it! I would highly recommend this for any child who is a hockey fan.
