In this hockey memoir, Saskatchewan author and playwright Todd Devonshire uses his childhood hockey memorabilia collection to reminisce about the sport’s importance in his family and life. Pucks and playing cards become avenues into stories of a youth spent playing local hockey while watching his heroes in the National Hockey League. Recounting league game occurrences as rites of passage and defending the Boston Bruins with fervent devotion, most of Devonshire’s memories are humorous and heartwarming. The book also contains, however, moments of challenge, learning, and loss. Throughout, Devonshire’s wit and fondness for hockey shine through.
