I knew almost nothing about hockey. Yes, I read many hockey romance books but they were 80% romance than hockey itself. So yeah, I basically had no idea about hockey games. But my son just recently joined hockey training since there was a new ice rink near our house. His interest in hockey was currently also high. My son made me study (?) more about hockey by watching videos so I could keep up on his hockey bubbles.
This book was great. Focus on a hockey atlet, Nathan MacKinnon. When I chose this book, I was very careful and checked his background first. I don't want to read a book to my son about misogyny men athletes, locker room talking or not. Yes, I am talking about misogynist comments USA teams made in their locker room after they won the gold medal in Olympic. As far as my research went, Nathan MacKinnon was not a misogynist. Though I definitely opened to take down my review if in reality he is one.
Back to the book, this book was good for my son. We watched many videos of him playing the sports and in my amateur eyes, he played so good. My son mostly loved watching the videos while I read this book to him. I think that way he (and I) could understand better what stated in this book about Nathan MacKinnon.
Thank you to Karen Price, Flux, Press Box Books, and NetGalley for the ARC.
