THE GIFTS OF HOCKEY
by Tommie Holmes
AUTHOR’S NOTE
Because there was no Stanley Cup presented in 2005, the cup was forwarded to a select few old time Stanley Cup winners. Kenny Mosdell was one of these so honored. Because one of my stories in “The Gifts of Hockey” uses Kenny as a role model, he invited me to his home when the cup arrived.

ABOUT THE BOOK
This book is about more than hockey. It is a book about relationships – between fathers and sons and how hockey can bridge the gap between generations in the family and help single parent families to cope with keeping kids from dropping out of school.
This book has been written up as a ‘Spotlight Story’ in the sports section of the Montreal Gazette.
