Clancy with the Puck by Chris Mizzoni

Traded to the Hogtown Maple Buds near the end of the regular season, Clancy Cooke helps his new team make the playoffs. With his skating and stick handling, Maple Buds fans believe, the team has a real shot at the Stanley Cup.
The visitors take an early lead in that seventh game of the finals, but Clancy scores two quick goals to tie it up. It looks like the game will go into overtime when the visitors get another goal past the Buds’ goalie, putting the score at four goals to three for the visitors. With seconds to spare, Mackenzie gets a break away and goes flying down the ice toward the visitors’ net, only to be tripped. Mackenzie cannot take the penalty shot with his twisted knee, so the Buds’ coach calls on Clancy Cooke.
As Clancy responds to fans’ cheers, eying the visitors’ goalie who stands quaking before his net, he dreams of winning the Stanley Cup for Hogtown Maple Buds and securing his place in hockey legend. Can the great Clancy Cooke put the puck in the goal and take the final game into overtime?
Written in rhyme and wonderfully illustrated by the author, Clancy with the Puck, by Chris Mizzoni, is sure to capture the imagination of anyone who has wanted to succeed at something so badly that they could taste it!
