Ice Time
Following a great Major Junior career, Rocket is drafted in the NHL draft! However, the scouts still feel that Rocket needs some retooling to be an NHLer. He is sent to the AHL for seasoning, and told he should hit the weight room as well.
At home, Maddy has applied for loans for her first year of university. Rocket assures her that he'll pay it all off when he's a pro. This changes when his mother is laid off and Rocket's income is all the family has - and an AHL salary doesn't go very far.
Through his training with the AHL, Rocket will face many challenges, both on the ice and in his home life. Will Rocket once again beat the odds?

he got cut at NHL training camp because he was to small.then he was sent to the pine racer and said to himself he will try to be the best in the AHL .then he is standing in the room and a fimuliare face walks in it is his old coach that cut him back in bantam.then he does great in the AHL and started playing in the NHL.I really like how he bounced back and got money for his family.I would recommend this book to anyone who likes hockey or sports.

In Rocket's third adventure, he is at an NHL training camp when he gets cut for his small size. Having faced this particular challenge before, Bryan is determined to be the best he can be in the AHL with the goal of learning all he can to break into the NHL. Unfortunately, some unsavory coaches from his past are again in charge of his development and he struggles to be accepted. Middle grade readers will learn how being a hockey player may not be as glamorous as it seems; injuries and concussions are a very real threat, players have no education to back them up should they not make it and moving constantly puts a strain on family and friends. Highly recommended for hockey fans!
