Description

A story of teamwork with a positive message, featuring Wayne Gretzky and Coach Wally (Wayne's dad, Walter Gretzky)

Taylor is so excited when he makes the hockey team -- and not just any team, but HIS team. The boy they are already calling The Great One. Taylor wants to be great too, but he's still got a lot to learn. Lucky for him, Coach Wally is in his corner, guiding him through the ups and downs of being part of a hockey team, and being the best player he can be. As Coach Wally says, if you have a good time, work hard and do your best, "that is all that matters."

Taylor is so excited to make the hockey team. He is up so early in the morning, he wakes everyone up to get to practice. He has a kid on his team named Wayne who everyone says it Great. His dad is the coach, Coach Wally. Taylor wants to be great too, but he has a lot to learn. Coach Wally is very encouraging and just tells the kids not to worry about being the best player, just be the best you can be. A positive message for any child playing a team sport. This book stresses work hard, do your best and above all else, have fun. The illustrations are bright and colourful. The characters have wonderful facial expressions. I recommend this book to all public and school libraries.
