About this listen

 "Poignant, philosophical, humorous, and wise. A part handbook on hockey and a part political satire, Charns’s latest book is both wholly hilarious and deeply reflecting. The narrative straightaway delves into prejudice based on gender, especially in the field of ice hockey, and the story that follows is periodically interrupted by Charns’s hilarious tips on the vigorous sport as he narrates his family story, including his son and daughter’s passion for the sport and his missteps as a hockey dad and husband." The Prairies Book Review. The excitement started when a hockey playing Canadian nun, Sister Joan of Arc, tricked a famous billionaire into sponsoring a teen "beauty contest". The contest was actually a girls' hockey tournament. The famous billionaire tried to present his special prize to the MVP of the tournament. A confrontation ensued. This led to the world being saved and the billionaire being defeated. Really? Yes, really. This is the absolute truth. It was reported in the Women's Hockey Undergarment Weekly in an article titled: "She scores!"

Praise for the prequel: “In ‘How Hockey Saved the World,’ Charns takes a tongue-in-cheek view of politics and sports, delivering humor and laughs that recall the work of Mark Twain, Joseph Heller and Ambrose Bierce.” Cliff Bellamy, Durham Herald-Sun 6/15/06. “[T]he author’s subversive wit and genuine belief in the game’s magic are oddly persuasive. An amiable meditation to warm even the iciest hearts.” Kirkus Discoveries 7/7/06. Hockey Literature & Fiction Satire Funny Witty Comedy
