“I wish we were still at our old place,” Owen said. “Holly and I miss skating on the lake.”
Their parents looked at one another. “We know you do,” said Mom.
“And tonight we have a surprise,” Dad added.


For Owen, winter is all about hockey. It’s December, and his family has just moved to the east coast. He’s shovelled snow. He’s practised shots in the driveway. But he hasn’t skated on ice. Now it’s Christmas Eve, and it’s time for a secret to be revealed!

A hockey story – and a holiday story – with a heartwarming Canadian setting.
