Stopping the shots

Personal Author EPSB
Lorna, Schultz Nicholson

Summary
"Mike Krieger (aka Tree) is used to playing hockey in his younger brother Eric's shadow. But hockey is expensive, and their parents' farm is struggling. Can Mike convince his parents that his dreams are important too, or will he be forced to make a tough decision? Readers will remember Mike from Taking the Ice as Team Chaos's calm and collected goalie. But as we find out in Stopping the Shots, Mike's home life is more difficult that it seems on the surface. His younger brother, Eric, is a hockey hotshot, already playing on the top U13 team. And their parents are so focused on Eric's game that Mike's success in net is barely noticed. They dismiss a suggestion that Mike could be good enough to attend a top goalie camp, and while Mike is used to living in Eric's shadow, the tension between the two brothers increases when Tree is asked to play goal for Eric's team. When an accident threatens Erik's hockey career, and money troubles threaten his parents' farm, Mike worries he might also have to give up the sport he loves. He decides to risk his reputation -- and more -- for the new goalie pads he desperately needs. But when the truth comes out, can Mike find a way to make things right?"--
