Tyler loves hockey, but with games, practices, power skating, and summer training, he feels like the sport has taken over his life. All he really wants is a chance to hang out with his friends, so he decides to take a break, but he's still following his favourite player Sidney Crosby. When Tyler finds himself with the unbelievable opportunity of being in the stands at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver for one of Crosby's most memorable games (and goals) of a lifetime, he realizes just how much he misses the game . . .
Capturing the sense of wonder and excitement of a hockey game that caught the attention of a nation and beyond, Crosby's Golden Goal offers a wholesome message about taking the time to really enjoy the things we love.
"Mike Leonetti conjures up all the excitement and tension of the final gold medal game of the 2010 Olympics, and the large, colourful illustrations by artist Garry McLaughlin add to charm of this attractive volume." -- The Winnipeg Free Press
