series by acclaimed authors Roy MacGregor and Kerry MacGregor and illustrator

hockey greats
Would you play on a team with
your worst enemy?
Lucas
Finnigan and his friends on the Riverton Ice Chips know a thing or two about
time travel—at least, they’ve been learning. The magical flooding of their
beloved hometown rink has already whisked Lucas, Edge and Swift into the past
to meet Gordie Howe and Sidney Crosby when those hockey greats were just kids.
That’s how they learned about the roots of the game, and about how far practice
can take them . . . but this time?
When
goalie Swift is invited onto an all-girls hockey team but refuses to join
forces with Chips’ rival Beatrice Blitz, Lucas decides that their only
option—even as Swift’s sister, Sadie, guesses their secret—is to leap through
time once again.
Pretty
soon Lucas, Swift and Sadie find themselves smack in the middle of the Calgary
Olympics. A determined young hockey player known as Chicken is in desperate
need of new teammates to compete in an Olympic-style match. But do the Chips
have what it takes to help Chicken’s team get back in the game and win? And
will winning be enough to change Swift’s mind about the new team back home?
With a clever lesson from their new friend—who’ll go on to become one of
Canada’s best-loved Olympic hockey players—anything is possible.
