Hockey

Hockey

Bianchi, John. Champions of Hockey (part of his Bungalo Boys series) is about as goofy as you can get.
Brooks, Bruce Wolfbay Wings series
Brouwer, Lightning on Ice series
Brownridge, William Roy. The Moccasin Goalie. He wrote a sequel called The Final Game a couple of years later. William Roy Brownridge writes and illustrates these books and the paintings/illustrations are outstanding. They are published by Orca in Victoria, BC, Canada.
Carrier, Roch. The Hockey Sweater. Tundra books.
Christopher,Matt Face Off.
Christopher,Matt. The Hockey Machine.
Corbett, Scott. The Hockey Girls. New York: Dutton, 1976. 104 pp. While Irma Tuttle walked alone whacking crabapples with a crooked stick she called Old Faithful, she was observed and recruited by the hockey coach and her life changed dramatically.
Corbett, Scott. The Hockey Trick. Boston: Little, Brown, 1974.
Korman, Gordon. The Chicken Doesn't Skate. Not 100% hockey, but I think it shows how obsessed hockey fans can get! Plus, it is an excellent book.
Maloney, Peter. The Magic Hockey Sweater. It's not the greatest book but it does have a hockey playing girl which is a nice change - so do the Screech Owl books which were mentionned in an earlier posting.
McGregor, Roy. "Screech Owl" series books: juvenile mysteries involving the Screech Owl hockey team. They are very popular with young readers in Canada.
Shreve, Susan Richard. The Goalie
Stevenson, James. SAM THE ZAMBONI MAN, about a young boy discovering that his grandfather who runs the Zamboni machine at the ice rink loves hockey
