This is such an amazing story about a family whose life is turned upside down when they determine their son is autistic. However, through the love of hockey their son is able to overcome adversities and be accepted as a true member of the hockey community. This story outlines the adversities families face when trying to include their disabled children in 'normal' every day settings and especially in a world of sports. Truly amazing and inspiring heartfelt story I highly recommend.
