Understanding Ken / Pete McCormack. - Enlarged by W. Ross Macdonald School. - Vancouver : Douglas & McIntyre, 1998. - 242 pages : comb binding ; 38 cm
The parents of a ten-year-old hockey lover have recently divorced, and all around him is turmoil. In that same post-divorce year, Ken Dryden, goaltending star of the kid's beloved Montreal Canadiens, quits hockey after three heroic years in the NHL —to article as a lawyer, of all things. A lawyer!
The kid, unable to deal with the realities of his family situation, projects all of his anger and frustration onto Ken (who deserves it), for selfishly and cruelly abandoning the only things that truly matter: the Montreal Canadiens, hockey, and playing in the NHL.
