Nights of Ice

1988. Smalltown Alberta. Wayne Gretzky is now an LA King. Def Leppard is on everyone's Walkman. And Jamie Larsen is growing up in a tiny rural village on the Canadian Prairie, where the Junior B hockey team is the heart and soul of the community. If it wasn't for hockey, he would have little chance of fitting in. Luckily, he's a damn good hockey player, and this winter he will lead his friends on the Rail Lakes Cougars though a season that will become legend. Nights of Ice brings you into the sweaty locker room, onto the rough ice, and into the close-knit inner world of Jamie and his teammates as they try to salvage a season against all odds. In the same way Nick Hornby's High Fidelity drew readers into the world of music-obsessed men searching for the answers to love and life, Nights of Ice takes readers into the hard-hitting action and hilarious off-ice antics of Canadian junior hockey. Game on!
