In
today's jaded sports world filled with pampered, trash-talking athletes,
perhaps only a hockey player could write a book extolling the value of such
old-school customs as practice, teamwork, personal responsibility, hard work,
and perseverance. This book of life lessons is geared for younger readers.
The Bylsmas previously published a book aimed at parents, So Your Son Wants
To Play in the NHL (Sleeping Bear, 1998), and Dan Bylsma currently plays
in the NHL himself. In addition to focusing on the eternal truths noted above,
this book also discusses more specific topics for aspiring players: whether
to play travel hockey, how to choose a hockey camp, and how to get a college
scholarship. It also offers advice on how a child can try to deal with difficult
situations involving coaches and loud, critical, pushy parents a phenomenon
we see more and more with youth sports programs. Recommended for school and
public libraries. John Maxymuk, Rutgers Univ. Lib., Camden, NJ.
