NATIONAL BESTSELLER “Hayley Wickenheiser is an incredible human being . . . this is what a billion hours of hard work looks like.” —Ryan Reynolds The greatest women’s hockey player of all time, Hayley Wickenheiser shares the lessons that won her four Olympic gold medals, and hard-earned wisdom distilled from moments when she fell short. There is no one in the world like Hayley Wickenheiser. 13 World Championship appearances. 6 Olympic Games. Hockey Hall of Famer. All while raising a child, earning multiple university degrees, and not benefiting from the financial stability male professional athletes have. She gave the game everything she had—now, Hayley shares what the game gave her. From motherhood to pro leagues to her new career in medicine, Hayley shares the hard-won lessons she learned on and off the ice that helped her not only have a record-breaking hockey career but craft a life filled with joy, growth, and challenges. In her own words, Hayley shares how she rose from the backyard pond and changing in boiler rooms (because girls' dressing rooms didn’t exist) to Olympic MVP (twice). How becoming a parent made her a better athlete. How she learned to thrive under monumental pressure. But she doesn’t stop at revealing the pillars to her tremendous success—Hayley delves into her immense failures and how she grew from them. Like Kobe Bryant, Tom Brady, and Abby Wambach before her, Hayley shares her wisdom through personal stories of triumph, relentlessness, and more than a couple confrontations. Told with humour, compassion, and steadfast optimism, Hayley’s practical advice, coaching, and invaluable perspective inspires readers to never accept “that’s not the way we do things” or “that hasn’t been done before” as limitations. An empowering and pragmatic guide, Hayley encourages readers to not follow in her footsteps, but to carve their own ice.

Based on his race, they find him dangerous and assume he's a bully, but he ruminates on how being big can be dangerous for a Black kid as it draws the wrong kind of attention, namely hatred and violence. The unnamed hockey player will draw inspiration from his family and Black hockey legends to show his team that he is more than his size.

"You're going to spend some time on the power play, on penalty kill, and start right off as the second line centre," he told me. I didn't question why he was putting me on the second line. I'd show him the first line was the place I belonged. "The important thing is that you've been drafted," he said. "You're going to play Junior A, and you're going to be on my team. You're my player." No one is tougher than Cody: not his hockey teammates, not his rivals on the ice, not even his old man after he's been drinking. Cody only wants one thing-to make it to the NHL-and he won't let anything get in his way. When a Junior A league scout helps Cody make the draft and becomes his coach, Cody can hardly believe it. Finally, someone who sees his potential! But he soon learns that his new champion will take as much as he gives. And, before long, Cody's lucky break has transformed into a nightmare of secrets, lies and a terrible abuse of power.
