HOCKEY STORIES, by celebrated Canadian author Leslie McFarlane, takes readers on a nostalgic trip back to the glory days of our national sport. As a bonus, there are four extra hockey stories inside, none of which have ever before appeared in book form!
Set primarily in the 1930's in small, Canadian, hockey-crazy towns, these tales offer a Rockwellian glimpse at the rough and tumble world of minor-league hockey, and at the adventures that ensue when someone does manage to make it big. McFarlane writes with a perfect blend of sport and humour. Featuring fast-paced plots, compelling characters (good and evil!), and a healthy dose of hockey action, Leslie McFarlanes Hockey Stories is bound to captivate hockey fans young and old.
DID YOU KNOW? Leslie McFarlane -better know to millions of Hardy Boys fans as Franklin W. Dixon- began his Depression-era career as an enterprising reporter, journalist and a sometimes novelist.
