    About this ebook

    Danny and his friends Petou and Anita live for hockey. So when they are asked to join the Wolves late in the season, they are determined to do their best for the town team. Some of the players, however, start to grumble about the latecomers. Travis, the Wolves' best forward, calls them "the wimps" and makes sure they are ignored on the ice. With the final game of the season looming, Travis is hogging the puck and the Wolves are no longer playing as a team. Danny's older brother is a star winger for the Toronto Maple Leafs, and he's home to rest an injury. Can he inspire the players to work together again? And will "the wimps" finally get a chance to show what they can do to help the team? In this sequel to the immensely popular The Moccasin Goalie, Danny and his friends face the biggest challenge ever.

    Author

    William Roy Brownridge

    Author and illustrator William Roy Brownridge is a native of Saskatchewan. Like the hero of his Moccasin Goalie titles, Bill lived for hockey and played goal despite being unable to wear skates. In Victory at Paradise Hill, he once again demonstrates the unique artistic style, the flair for storytelling and the feel for prairie life that made the first two volumes perennial favorites. After a successful career as a graphic designer, Bill now devotes himself full time to painting.
