A victory like this would draw national attention to the ailing town: it could attract government funding and an influx of talented athletes who would choose Beartown over the big nearby cities. A victory like this would certainly mean everything to Amat, a short, scrawny teenager who is treated like an outcast everywhere but on the ice; to Kevin, a star player just on the cusp of securing his golden future in the NHL; and to Peter, their dedicated general manager whose own professional hockey career ended in tragedy. At first, it seems like the team might have a shot at fulfilling the dreams of their entire town. But one night at a drunken celebration following a key win, something happens between Kevin and the general manager's daughter--and the next day everything seems to have changed. Accusations are made and, like ripples on a pond, they travel through all of Beartown, leaving no resident unaffected. With so much riding on the success of the team, the line between loyalty and betrayal becomes difficult to discern. At last, it falls to one young man to find the courage to speak the truth that it seems no one else wants to hear."- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Hockey stories. 650 0 $a Scandals 700 1 $a Smith, Neil 941 $a 25 952 $l XGPC697 $d 20240416010845.0 952 $l VQPC384 $d 20231227173851.0 952 $l BDPB251 $d 20230704010326.0 952 $l GNPB062 $d 20230428010153.0 952 $l YFPC572 $d 20230418010832.0 952 $l WLPA185 $d 20230125120949.0 $m wlpa185 952 $l JEPA911 $d 20230104091758.0 952 $l YKPE532 $d 20221028012140.0 952 $l NLPA993 $d 20220502170002.0 $m AF BAC #1 952 $l 0YSX353 $d 20220315011359.0 952 $l AHPD597 $d 20210723013051.0 952 $l ECPA325 $d 20210714090519.0 $m AF Bac 952 $l GXPA501 $d 20210219022112.0 952 $l TZPC572 $d 20201218010233.0 952 $l VNPA334 $d 20201127010335.0 952 $l SDPB094 $d 20191220162613.0 952 $l TWPC862 $d 20190730010931.0 952 $l EHPA605 $d 20181229102646.0 $m Adf/Bac 952 $l UKPD911 $d 20181128011807.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20180802011453.0 952 $l LIPB815 $d 20180801153906.0 952 $l NGPB343 $d 20180731020320.0 952 $l EAPA384 $d 20180530150005.0 952 $l ZXPC675 $d 20180214010850.0 952 $l BGPE251 $d 20180201011238.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D70B74C2071D11E88A431B0A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
