Visiting his Grandpa Sam in the city, young Matt proudly watches his grandpa drive the Zamboni at the hockey stadium and, after the game, cheers him on as he skates around the ice with his old, bandaged hockey stick. On the last night of his visit, Sam lets Matt drive the Zamboni. The softly spoken story line is accompanied by illustrations that portray these moments in an unsentimental and realistic style.
