Crossing The Line - By David Sherman
All his life, the game has been his life and his escape, scoring sublimely through the bruising and bone-breaking. But now, unexpectedly traded, rising young hockey star Blake Fowler realizes hockey's not a game at all.
Crossing The Line is a rare look at our iconic sport from behind a key player's mask. A look at the inequities of Canada's national dream, set against the inequities of its national shibboleth: pro hockey. It’s about a few wealthy winners, and a majority of losers for whom life is anything but a game. About a player who finds he can't justify making more money than he'll ever need, only for playing 25 minutes a few nights a week, while on every corner, poor and homeless jostle for change to eat.
And, how a determined woman teaches Blake Fowler that his rare talent can make his life larger than any game.
