“It’s not that bad, Paul” Mom said. “There’s a chance Team Canada can come back and win.”
“I don’t think so Mom,” I said quietly. “They’d have to win three games in a row, and all the Soviets have to do is win one.”
“Now Paul, don’t you lose hope.”

It’s 1972, and Canada is ready to face the Soviets in what will soon be considered the greatest hockey series of all time. Canadians are sure their NHL stars will crush the Soviets, and Paul is looking forward to sharing the experience with his father. But by the middle of the series, the Soviets are looking strong, and Paul’s father is overwhelmed with work.

A story about family, sharing, and a hockey moment no Canadian will ever forget.

“The Greatest Goal is the greatest book.”
