About this title

From Booklist:

Gr. 4-7. Although there are several titles about women's hockey for older readers and adults, this is one of the few for this age group. Wilson, a former captain of Canada's Olympic Women's Hockey Team, offers a broad introduction to the sport, touching on the game's positions, rules, strategies, and off-ice training. She also includes spotlights and interviews with star players. With brief, scattered text and energizing color photos, this is probably best for young girls who are new to the game and want an overview rather than in-depth coverage. For older players looking for more material, suggest Barbara Stewart's She Shoots . . . She Scores! (1998) and Gold Medal Ice Hockey for Women and Girls (1999), by Tricia Dunn and Katie King.
