Acknowledgments
Additional Information
So many participated in this tournament. Each member of my own family played a major role in bringing The Real Iron Men of Hockey to life. In our lineup, we had playmakers, grinders, two way forwards, a zebra, a video goal judge and a situation room. There was a lot of chirping going on and I was deked several times.
I want to thank everyone who collaborated on this book. This was truly a team effort. A special thank you to Joan Avila, who was the creative on the book design, the beautiful cover, and assisted these ‘rookies’ with the publishing.
