The Hockey Skates
A series of delivery mishaps meets the unmovable will of a young hockey fan in this comical picture book debut from Karl Subban, featuring a little PK Subban and the charming art of Maggie Zeng!
Little PK Subban loves watching hockey on TV with his father, and he can't wait to finally go out and skate, just like his hockey heroes! With his mother's help, PK orders a pair of black, single-blade, size 7 skates. Now he just has to wait for them to come in the mail.
So he waits.
And waits.
Every new delivery brings hilarity and dismay as PK receives skates in the wrong size, wrong colour, wrong style-even a box that is completely empty! All the while, winter approaches and poor PK is very eager to get out on the rink. Even as he wonders if he will ever get to skate, his love of hockey pulls him to the sport in funny, imaginative ways.
Inspired by Karl Subban's son, NHL star PK Subban, The Hockey Skates is a story about maintaining perseverance and optimism through a series of comical misfortunes-all of which are brought to life by Maggie Zeng's charming illustrations.
