JUST IN TIME TO BE BACK ON THE ICE
The newest installment of the Amazing Hockey Stories featuring Edmonton Oilers playoff star, Leon Draisaitl by critically acclaimed Children and Young Adult author, Lorna Schultz Nicholson
An inside look at one of the top current NHL players, Leon Draisaitl.
Born in Cologne, Germany, Leon Draisaitl excelled in many sports as a
youth. Ultimately, he followed in the footsteps of his father, a professional
hockey player who played in three Olympic games.
Since joining
the Oilers in 2014, Leon has only gotten better in each season he’s played. A
natural center who can easily switch to the wing, he has the size, speed and
vision that make him effective as a scorer or set-up man with a knack for
finding the open man.
With family and game photos plus 16 pages of full-colour graphic hockey
action, this easy-to-read biography will teach fans all about Leon’s family
connection to the game. Engaging text and action comic sequences illustrate how
he made his way to the top of the points charts, earning both the Hart Trophy
and Ted Lindsay Award, given to the League’s most outstanding player!
