About This Book

A school hockey team’s season is charted through practices, games, and a decisive series with a long-standing rival. Clifton Bingham, a substitute left wing and member of a close-knit trio, seeks greater recognition from coach Pinky Hilliard while teammates deal with substitutions, strategy shifts, and occasional injuries. The narrative moves through on-ice contests, campus routines, and interpersonal tensions as the squad tests its resolve, adapts tactics, and strengthens bonds. Episodic match scenes build toward a climactic final game, with recurring themes of teamwork, perseverance, sportsmanship, and youthful camaraderie shaping the players’ development.
