Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Marc is a goalkeeper who thinks he's pretty good between the pipes, but the team's new coach doesn't agree. Marc is very upset, and his mom and dad are too busy with work and don't take any of this seriously. Then his grandfather, a former goalie himself, starts coaching Marc, using the story of the great Montreal Canadiens goalie Jacques Plante as a motivator. The hockey legend inspires Marc to new confidence, and he learns that older people can make a difference in younger lives, that perseverance pays off, and that it's okay to respectfully challenge authority.

We got this for our son for Christmas (he's a goalie age 8) & he loves it. Great book - wonderful illustrations. Highly recommend for your goalie or hockey lover.

I borrowed this book from the local library for my sports loving 2-year-old daughter, and since then she has asked me to read it every night. This is the very first story I've read to her that has captured her attention for more than 15 minutes (it takes us about 20 minutes to get through the story). The illustrations are wonderful, especially for the younger set, because I can point to those things, like the different pieces of goalie equipment, that may be new to her vocabulary. What I found to be most amazing about The Goalie Mask is the way it captured her interest about the great Habs team from the late 50's, who would have thought that a two-year-old could be fascinated by the legend of Jacques Plante?!?!?!
