Talk About It!

1. Would you give this book a 1, 2 or 3 out of 3? Tell someone why you give it that rating.

2. Jacques plays hockey from an early age and continues to play into adulthood. Can you think of any hobbies or sports that you enjoy as much as Jacques loves hockey?

3. In what ways does Jacques Plante’s courage and determination change the way that hockey is played?
