Contributor(s): Author: Roch Carrier Illustrator: Sheldon Cohen Translator: Sheila Fischman In the days of Roch s childhood, winters in the village of Ste.
Justine were long.
Life centered around school, church, and the hockey rink, and every boy s hero was Montreal Canadiens hockey legend Maurice Richard.
Everyone wore Richard s number 9.
They laced their skates like Richard.
They even wore their hair like Richard.
When Roch outgrows his cherished Canadiens sweater, his mother writes away for a new one.
Much to Roch s horror, he is sent the blue and white sweater of the rival Toronto Maple Leafs, dreaded and hated foes to his beloved team.
How can Roch face the other kids at the rink?.
