Bookroo's summary

Chris, an undersized 11-year-old, unexpectedly makes the all-star hockey team, the Arctic Wolves. As he and his teammate Derek navigate the intense world of competitive sports, they discover that the game is more challenging than they ever anticipated. Will Chris rise to the occasion, or will the pressure of the ice rink prove too much? Dive into a story of determination, friendship, and the true spirit of teamwork.

From the publisher

11 year old Chris is small for his age, so he can’t believe it when he learns he’s been selected for the all-star hockey team. It’s not fun and games playing for the Arctic Wolves, however, as Chris and his teammate, Derek, find out.
