Nicky Tag! Nicky Tag!
Hockey fans have been cheering for Nick Taglio since he was a little kid.
Nick was born to skate. He's only a sophomore, but he rules the ice, because Nicky Tags' a fighter. Which means he has to take some hits; concussions come with the territory. When Nicky suffers yet another head injury, though, his doctor and his parents tell him he can never play again. Too dangerous, they say. He can't risk his future.
But they don't understand that without hockey, Nick has no future. It's not a game. It's his life.
Open Ice makes readers feel what it's like to love a game so much you'll play no matter what the cost.
