The Goal : Stories About Our National Passion, Deluxe Colour Edition, Revised And Expanded

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 Béliveau. "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.
