It's a book about hockey, but not about hockey at all. A story that explores the human condition through characters and their role in the community and relation to each other. Each character has their colorful and unique story, no one character really being what I would consider the "main character"—something that reflects how life is, each of us going through life doing our part of the whole. This book is filled with a lot of complicated and intense emotions, with each person making hard decisions and making mistakes, the way we also go through our lives, making hard decisions or making mistakes and processing them.
