Book Description
Kelly Chase: The Battler, the second book in the Sport Snaps series gives a glimpse into the life of a young man from a small town who refused to accept limitations put on him by others. He made his dreams of playing in the NHL a reality by combining a fierce determination with the hard work necessary to succeed. The kids of the Gateway Locomotives know only too well that Kelly's determined attitude can move mountains and that their smiles and accomplishments can make the hard-nosed Chase go all soft on the inside. Kelly adds his personal photos to the action packed photos provided by photo agencies from around the United States to illustrate the text written by Jeff Gordon, sportswriter for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Kelly's tips for kids, his game-day routine, his answers to questions about the game as its played today, and Coach Joel Quenneville's assessment of Kelly as a player and leader round out what is the Sport Snaps series.
