Person
Heather Robbins lived on the Canada prairies for most of her adult life, and like many parents, spent her winters taking her son to and from hockey practices and games. The early, frozen mornings, driving to small town hockey rinks were made bearable by seeing the enthusiasm and love of the game in her young son. Her son's experiences in playing in all those games inspired Heather to write a little story, highlighting the activities in the dressing room, as well as on the ice, and touching on the love and support of hockey parents. Heather now enjoys watching her grandchildren play minor hockey, and again is able to experience the love of the game through the eyes of children.
