The son of an NHL draftee and the chief of the Ulkatcho First Nation, Carey Price got his start on skates as a toddler, first on a frozen creek and then on his father's homemade rink. The natural athlete went on to become one of the top amateur players in Canada in 2002, getting drafted fifth overall by the famed Montreal Canadiens three years later. Now one of the most recognizable figures in hockey, Carey credits his success to his community of Anahim Lake, British Columbia, where hard work and commitment often faced off against remoteness and cost. Throughtout his incredible career, he's taken every oppotunity possible to encourage all young people, especially those who share his indigenous background, to follow their dreams.

Literary Merit: Good
This was a fun, easy to follow biography of one of Canada's best goaltenders. This book explains Carey's background as a son of a former hockey player and the first female chief of the Ulkatcho First Nation to his current run as a celebrated and trophied goaltender in the NHL. The short sentence structure of the book will be easily attainable for struggling readers, and this high interest topic will keep them interested. There are several tidbits in the book that provided background knowledge for various aspects of the book, from First Nations to the ins and outs of the game of hockey. I think current hockey fans and any one interested in hockey will enjoy this book. ( )
