Meet the Author Growing up, hockey has always been a big part of my life. My dad grew up playing hockey his whole life, and got my brother, sister, and I skating and stick handling as soon as we could walk. We would watch hockey as much as we could and cheered for our home team, the Avalanche. We all play today, my brother and I goalies, my dad and sister defensemen, all for the Arapahoe Warriors. We love to cheer on the Boston Bruins and Colorado Avalanche, and look forward to all the seasons to come. Hockey has been part of us since day one. Hockey has brought us all closer and happier as a family. Hockey is our spirit. Our hearts. Us. |
