Hockey Sweater
Hockey Sweater | Roch Carrier
11 posts | 4 read | 1 to read
In the days of Roch's childhood, winters in the village of Ste. Justine were long. Life centered around school, church, and the hockey rink, and every boy's hero was Montreal Canadiens hockey legend Maurice Richard. Everyone wore Richard's number 9. They laced their skates like Richard. They even wore their hair like Richard. When Roch outgrows his cherished Canadiens sweater, his mother writes away for a new one. Much to Roch's horror, he is sent the blue and white sweater of the rival Toronto Maple Leafs, dreaded and hated foes to his beloved team. How can Roch face the other kids at the rink? From the Hardcover edition.

A classic Canadian tale - and it‘s getting to be about that time of year for hockey sweaters.

Second half of the 🏒 season is really on. The m/m romance is okay but I don't have the urge to pick it up when I have a moment free. Strange in a way.

writerlibrarian 🐧 are behind by 2 goals. New Jersey has the Pens' number this season. 👿 🚨 SH but 🐧 finally 🚨 3-1 👿 and Sid is in the 📦 😕. 🐧 are very, very rusty and are playing badly. 4-1 👿. 🐧 lost 6-3 but I got to 50% of my novel. 👍🏻 (edited) 5y

Last game before All Stars Week-end. We are getting the MMM line. Marner-Matthews-Marleau. Dad and his hockey sons. The m/m romance is good so far. #readingandwatchinghockey

writerlibrarian After 1 period, it's 1-1. Kadri scored with a few seconds to go. Ovi shoots and 🚨. 🍁 tie. 2 all. 34 🚨 on PP. 3-2 🍁. Kadri 🚨 his 2nd and the 🍁 lead by 2. Kadri makes it a 🎩 trick. 5-2. Caps score to get near by 2 but Marner 🚨 in an empty net. 6-3 (edited) 5y

It's a slow hockey night with over 20 teams in bye week. So it's Hawks with a side of Caps who are a bit awful right now. The hockey romance so far is cute. #readingandlisteningtohockey

Susanita No Caps for me because our cable is being wonky. 5y
writerlibrarian @Susanita they are playing better and winning right now. I listen through the nhl app the radio feed is free. 5y
writerlibrarian Desperation is making the replacement coach in Chicago do something Coach Q did seldom put Kaner and Tazer on the same line 5 on 5. They haven't been on the same line since their sophomore year i think. 5y

The book I'm starting tonight is not in Listy. Contemporary romance, hockey related. Leafs are playing the Yotes. It was a really cold and snowy Sunday. #readingandwatchinghockey

writerlibrarian Hummm... Willy cut off his beard after cutting his hair a few weeks back. He looks so nice now. Puck drop now. 🍁 🚨 from the D with an 🍎 for Willy on the 4th line. Yotes has tied and pulled ahead by one. 2-1JT ties the score. (edited) 5y

For my children‘s lit class, we had to bring in a picture book that meant a lot to us. I picked this classic work of Canadian literature—and then, of course, I had to reread it. #inls732 #24in48

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all!

Told my brother and sister not to get me any books this year and my sister responded by getting me the perfect book: a collection of very short stories in French!
