Bookroo's summary
Ricky Holder's aggressive hockey style wins his father's praise but alienates his teammates. As the state championship looms, Ricky must navigate the tension between his father's demands and his team's need for unity. Can he mend the rift before facing their toughest rivals? The stakes are high, and Ricky's choices could make or break the team.
From the publisher
When he’s playing hockey, Ricky Holder hits hard and never holds back. During a scrimmage, Ricky plays rough and injures his own team’s top scorer. Ricky’s father is proud of him, but his teammates ditch him because of his dangerous checks. Ricky tries to ease up a little, but his teammates won’t forgive him, and his father is mad that he’s not giving 110 percent. Can he fix things before the state’s toughest team comes to town?
