The Goal: Stories about Our National Passion, Deluxe Colour Edition, Revised and Expanded - Paperback

by Andrew Caddell (Author), Dave Stubbs (Author)

Hockey is not only Canada's national pastime but its enduring passion. In this collection
of fourteen real-life stories, authors Andrew Caddell and Dave Stubbs explore
the many different sides of the game. In "The Girl" you'll meet a young woman
who helped pave the way for the stars of today's women's game, while in "The Gentleman"
a spinster aunt's lifelong wish comes true when she meets Habs superstar
Jean B liveau. "The Rink" details the uniquely Canadian fascination with creating
the perfect backyard skating surface, while in "The Nation" Andrew Caddell ponders
the age-old question: Can a lifelong Canadiens fan embrace Leafs nation? Ten
other stories add nuance and depth to this compelling look at our national game.
