As someone who has found more than one way to be involved with the game, this book spoke to me on a bunch of different levels. Adversity can be a great teacher - When Hockey Stops gives readers the tools to overcome challenges and excel in whatever they choose to do. - Ryan Whitney, NHL Alumni, Host of Spittin' Chiclets I can relate to Leon in When Hockey Stops as I, too, was injured and taken away from the game I loved. I wondered if I'd ever get to play again, and it was haunting, to say the least. I'd look at the ice with my friends on it and think (as I stood on the other side of the glass), So close... yet so far away. Now that I'm back, it makes me appreciate how lucky I am for being able to participate and enjoy the experience of playing the game I love. When Hockey Stops is a look into many of the life lessons we can gain from hockey, a greater appreciation for the ability to play being just one of them. - Jay DeMarco - Author of Webcomic Small Saves Losing time in your sport due to injury is always a major challenge, but its how you respond to that challenge that makes you who you are - which is something Leon learns in When Hockey Stops. This new children's book is a must read for competitors of every age and in every sport. - Mike E. Smith, Hall of Fame Triple Crown Jockey The game of hockey provides us with so much, but the life lessons are the most valuable. There are a ton of them in When Hockey Stops! - Danny Briere, Former NHL Captain, President/Governor of the Maine Mariners (ECHL) The message behind When Hockey Stops is something that can appeal to readers of all ages. Leon's story of battling back is inspirational and serves as an important reminder that it's not what happens to you that matters, it's how you respond to it. This is a great book that I look forward to sharing its message with my daughter. - Mike Commito, author of the Hockey 365 series This book highlights how great a game hockey is for children, and how that same mental toughness and resilience needed to be a champion on the ice can be applied off the ice. - Ben Harrow - CPT(Ret), US Army Special Forces, Sled Hockey Para-Olympian This hockey book is a wonderful read for young people with a great character in Leon and how he overcomes adversity! - Dan Brennan, USA Sled Hockey Team Director What a wonderful book filled with life lessons for kids and adults alike. Tells the story of trials and tribulations. A must read for the young athlete! - JB Spisso - Leadership & Culture Expert, Author, Combat Veteran, Sergeant Major (Ret) USA When Hockey Stops is a book that we need right now for our young hockey families. The story is very relevant to what's going on in the world today but also timeless in its approach - Doug Cifu, CEO Virtu Financial/Owner Florida Panthers When Hockey Stops is a must read for parents and kids alike. In fact, enjoying this book together would be great lessons learned for both. At a time when we now understand that addressing our mental health is as important as taking care of ourselves physically, this book scores the game winning goal . . . and also makes the biggest saves. - Howard Dolgon - President/CEO/Governor Syracuse Crunch
