This bland rhyming text tells of a young hockey player who takes a penalty shot to tie the game. The meter mimics Thayer's classic "Casey at the Bat." The determined faces in the close-up oil illustrations work well to pull readers onto the ice and into the action. Hockey fans will enjoy the drama of the game.
