Bookroo's summary

Jeff Connors returns to the ice only to find himself ostracized by his team. A threatening note, seemingly in his handwriting, was found in his best friend's locker. With no one believing his innocence, Jeff must unravel the mystery and uncover the true saboteur. Can he restore his reputation and mend broken friendships, or will the real culprit remain hidden in the shadows?

From the publisher

After a hiatus from the ice to get his grades back up to eligibility level, Jeff Connors returns to get the cold shoulder treatment from his teammates. During Jeff’s absence, a threatening note was discovered in his best friend’s locker–written in Jeff’s hand. His protests of innocence fall on deaf ears, so Jeff is on his own to discover who’s behind the sabotage.
