Description

Wherever there is hockey there will always be a rink burger.

Hockey isn't just about games in big stadiums. It can be played on ponds, streets and in small-town rinks. It creates bonds between fathers and sons. It forges friendships that last a lifetime.

When the family home in Big River, Saskatchewan, is sold, Todd Devonshiredecides to visit his roots one last time and retrieve all the hockey mementos he'd promised to pick up someday. Packing up pictures, old hockey jerseys and his vast collection of O-Pee-Chee hockey cards, Todd reminisces about his youth as a player and avid fan in a comical and poignant coming of age.

About the author

Like many fashion faux pas of the 1980s, Todd Devonshire fell victim to Cooperalls for three years. He is not proud of this. He is also not proud of the fact that he has not thrown out his red sports jacket, like the one made famous by Huey Lewis from Huey Lewis and the News. Ironic that their bestselling album was called Sports, now, isn't it? He continues to play, watch, reside, and write about hockey in Saskatchewan. By this I mean Todd Devonshire, not Huey Lewis. I'm not sure if Huey Lewis ever played hockey.
