Customer Reviews

Great book for young hockey fans/players!

We got this for our son for Christmas (he's a goalie age 8) & he loves it. Great book - wonderful illustrations. Highly recommend for your goalie or hockey lover.

Great bedtime story!

I borrowed this book from the local library for my sports loving 2-year-old daughter, and since then she has asked me to read it every night. This is the first story I've read to her that has captured her attention for more than 15 minutes (it takes us about 20 minutes to get through the story). The illustrations are wonderful, especially for the younger set, because I can point to those things, like the different pieces of goalie equipment, that may be new to her vocabulary. What I found to be most amazing about The Goalie Mask is the way it captured her interest about the great Habs team from the late 50's, who would have thought that a two-year-old could be fascinated by the legend of Jacques Plante?!?!?!
