Competition is fierce, both on and off the ice, when Charlie is invited to Youth Elite Hockey School. In this third book in the Game Time series featuring teenage hockey player Charlie Joyce, a summer hockey program promises to provide the opportunity of a lifetime. There will be visits by NHL coaches, top trainers, and expert analysts, not to mention the chance to play with the best players in his age group, including his friends Scott and Nick... and his arch-rival Jake. Charlie is stoked. But things don't go as planned. While Charlie makes Team 1, things are going wrong between him and the other guys, and even the coaches seem to be down on him. To make things worse, the NHL coach's Stanley Cup ring goes missing. That is, until it shows up in Jake's gear. Charlie is pretty sure Jake didn't do it... and he's pretty sure he knows who did. The Game Time series is a perfect selection for hockey lovers and for the reluctant boy reader. Fast-paced, authentic scenarios, coupled with the competitive spirit of high school hockey create a truly compelling read.

Teenage hockey player Charlie Joyce is facing a new school year, and a whole new set of problems - both on and off the ice. The year has barely begun when Charlie finds out his school is in jeopardy because of some damage to the building. Under threat of being separated and bussed to different high schools, Charlie and friends leap into action to raise some money and keep their high school (and hockey team!) intact. Using all of their skills, they cook up as many fundraising events as they can - until one day a gift comes to them in the form of a hockey tournament with a $5000 prize. Charlie is ecstatic to get his team on the ice - until he realizes that their line-up must be co-ed to compete. It's a whole new lesson in good sportsmanship at Terrence Falls High School. Can they pull it off and save their school?
