The Joey Moss Story
Joey Moss first became known to many Canadians because of his work with the NHL Edmonton Oilers hockey team. Joey loved connecting with people. Whether he was singing Oh Canada on a jumbotron screen at a hockey game, welcoming a new friend with a playful wrestling match, or dancing on a runway for a charity fashion show, Joey loved making people feel good. But his impact and influence started long before he joined the Oilers. Joey was born with Down syndrome at a time when many children like him were institutionalized. Instead, Joey lived at home, surrounded by his supportive family who was determined that he should receive the same opportunities as others. From this loving environment grew a caring, energetic man who went on to show the world that people like him could do many things and contribute greatly to society. The inspiring true story of Joey Moss, a champion for all to have an opportunity to live a full, purposeful life, comes alive in this heartwarming picture book for young readers.
Carey Price
Amazing Hockey
Stories
Born in Anihim Lake, British Columbia, and a
member of the Ulkatch First Nation, Carey Price grew up spending much of his
time outdoors ― hunting, fishing and riding horses. He didn’t start playing
organized hockey until he was nine years old, but made up for a late start,
becoming one of the best goalies in the NHL. Playing many spectacular seasons
for the Montreal Canadiens, Carey has won everything from the Calder Cup to the
Vezina Trophy, and from the Indspire Award to Olympic Gold!
Packed
with photos and including 16 pages of hockey action comic sequences, this
full-colour, easy-to-read biography will teach fans how Carey Price became a
player known for taking care of the net, his team, and himself in a way that is
uniquely his own.
