Book
The moccasin goalie / William Roy Brownridge.
Danny and his friends, Anita, Petou and Marcel, are typical prairie youngsters--hockey mad. The four are always playing road hockey or involved in a game of shinny on the community rink. One day a town team, the Wolves, is formed. The friends are overjoyed, but when the time comes to choose the team, only Marcel is picked. The other three friends are not chosen; Anita is a girl, Petou is too small and Danny cannot skate. It is the biggest disappointment of Danny's life. But near the end of the season, the regular goalie is injured and Danny is asked to replace him. If the Wolves can win the game, they will make the playoffs! This is Danny's chance to prove that even though he can't wear a pair of skates, he can still play the game.

K-Gr 3 Danny loves to play hockey with his friends in their small Canadian town. Though he can't skate because of a ``crippled leg and foot,'' he plays goalie in his leather moccasins. When a town team is formed, he is cut because he can't skate. Very disappointed, his spirits are revived when weeks later the coach asks him to replace the team's injured goalie in the biggest game of the year. Danny steps in, plays well, and is invited to stay on the squad for the playoffs. While the large, lavishly colored paintings adequately sustain the mood of the story, the text leaves much to be desired. Told in the first person, it often reads in a staccato manner. Except for regional interest, ``ice'' any thoughts of purchasing this one. Tom S. Hurlburt, La Crosse Public Library, WI Copyright 1998 School Library Journal Reviews
