The Puck Hog: Haunted Hockey in Lake Placid - Paperback

Positive Coaching Alliance has placed The Puck Hog on their recommended reading list! "This delightful book for children ages 6-9 teaches an important lesson about teamwork. Set in Syracuse, where Casciano is a TV news anchor and mother of two youth hockey players, the book focuses on a youth hockey team's struggle with the title character, a dominant scorer who won't pass the puck. The book presents coping mechanisms for players who find themselves facing teamwork challenges and can start discussions between sports parents and their children," says PAC.
