Alex’s Reviews > Hockey Tough > Status Update

Glen hanlon is a static character in my story. Glen had a mindset of hard work, preparation, and position. He had played as a goalie in the nhl and saw lots of many different aspects of playing. He had that mindset the whole time he had played and would end up coaching in Europe, the nhl, and the ahl where he would try to impliment the mindset in his goalies he taught. He is static because he stayed the same always.

I am currently on page 175 of 225 on my book. The archetype in my book is over coming the monster. There is no monster physical or metaphorically. The player is over coming their injury or something that happened to them and had a negative affect they were able to come back into the game and help their team win. Or they can get back on the ice coming back to try and get better and help them self.

My books is a character driven book because it is a bunch of biographies and each person. The characters show growth because each character shows how they would get injured during and game and then make a recovery to a serious injury and come back in that game. Or also if they get hurt and come back even stronger with their training.

There is a lot of characters in my book and there is no specific setting but it could either be at an ice rink or where ever that individual does off ice training. The book is about hockey players and how they show how they have been tough. It is like one of the players getting a stick to the face and he started bleeding. He got stitches and came back into the game.

There is no character in the book to the point that I am at. My book is more of a how to and what to do. It is more setting up for how to succeed in playing a high level of hockey and maybe going to the nhl. I could technically be the character but there is no sympathy really because I am ready but I guess you could say I am sympathetic for my self. It is like I root for my self.

There isn’t real setting in this book because it just talks about hockey in general. The book talks about some of the things that go on in the nhl and what it takes to over come them. The book also has stories of how some players stood out because of their toughness. A player once got cut in game and had to get stictches and he came back after he was stitched up.
