[Marco den Ouden · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is an entertaining story about some young hockey playing friends, both girls and boys, who discover their hockey rink has a wormhole, a portal to the past. Using this "time machine" they visit a different hockey great in each story. In this one they travel back to the 1988 Calgary Olympics where they see Eddie the Eagle perform on the ski jump and meet a ten year old girl who loves hockey who goes by the nickname of "Chicken" and who helps them improve their game.

This is the third book in the series.

An entertaining yarn.

This isn't your ordinary ice-hockey novel, nor is it a run-of-the-mill time-travel tale. It's admirable for including a historical perspective of hockey, and showing a diverse set of characters on the team of both boys and girls. It moves as fast as a hockey game, and as the fourth in a series, will inspire readers (including reluctant readers) to reach for the other books.

Another great book in this wonderful Canadian series! As always love the diversity, inclusion and wonderful boys and girls characters within the story. My eight year old loves these books! Highly reccomend for young hockey fans!

I do have a soft spot for hockey...and it's not just (or maybe all so) because I'm Canadian. Highly recommend this series for hockey lovers young and young at heart plus it was nice to see how hockey was loved/played in the 1890's (expect lots of thick winter felts!) and the appearance of the original Stanley cup. Most importantly I did like how the narrative also points out the importance of females in hockey during this time especially with women like Lady Isobel. Plus it's funny to know why...a bunch of kids singing "Jiggle Bells" in the 1890's maybe considered slightly vulgar!
