ISBN:First published in 1932 by the Goldsmith Publishing Company, this exhilarating vintage collection brings together a fast-paced series of athletic tales centered on the thrills, spills, and intense rivalries of cold-weather athletics. The anthology's centerpiece story features Carl Hemmer, the brilliant but highly individualistic star of the Taber High School hockey team. Known for his breathtaking solo dashes down the rink, Carl's unstoppable momentum is suddenly threatened when a fierce on-ice collision leaves him injured just ahead of a crucial championship matchup against their bitter rivals. Across the collection—which spans competitive ice hockey, daring ski battles, and high-speed skating races—author Harold M. Sherman introduces an unforgettable cast of youthful characters who must conquer both physical obstacles and personal inhibitions. Penned during the golden era of wholesome boy's adventure literature, these stories transcend simple play-by-play action to deliver timeless lessons on sportsmanship, resilience, and the power of team camaraderie.
