About the Book

If you could travel through time, who would you want to meet?

Lucas Finnigan eats, sleeps and breathes hockey. With his friends Edge, Swift and Crunch, Lucas plays on his hometown’s rink, dreaming of the day when he knows he’ll make the NHL. But lately money has been tight at home, and, after a major growth spurt, Lucas is forced to wear hand-me-down gear that doesn’t quite fit right. Now he’s not sure he’ll ever make it to the Hall of Fame like his hockey heroes.

And that’s not the only problem. With the community arena’s chiller on the fritz, and replacement parts too tough to come by, it looks like Lucas and his friends may be doomed to a season on a plastic rink—or worse, no hockey at all!

But with a magical discovery, and some help from one of hockey's greatest players (who was a kid once, too!), their final skate might turn into their first great adventure . . .

“A good choice for readers of all abilities who enjoy hockey mysteries. Recommended.” — CM Magazine

“Good frozen fun!” — Kevin Sylvester, illustrator of Great and author of the Neil Flambé Capers

“Magic and hockey and history! What a combination for young readers. The lively and diverse characters and super fun plot are combined with a famous real-life hockey player. So creative. What a magical read!” — Lorna Schultz Nicholson, author of the Puckster picture-book series

“A funny, heartwarming story about friendship, hockey, and the magic that can happen when you believe in yourself. You don’t have to be a hockey fan to enjoy this book, but after reading it you just might be!” — Cyndi Marko, author and illustrator of the Kung Pow Chicken series
