Hockey Trailblazers by Nicole Mortillaro Pdf

The stories of five real hockey heroes who overcame challenges to play the game they love at the highest possible level! This inspiring book profiles hockey players whose talent and determination eventually broke down barriers in hockey and opened doors and the generations that followed. Readers will learn about: Will O'Ree, who challenged racial barriers as the first black player in the NHL. George Armstrong, the first aboriginal player to make it big in the NHL, played 11 seasons as the Captain of the Maple Leafs, and proved his talent many times over. Bobby Clarke was the first player with diabetes to play in the NHL. Knowing his place in hockey history now, it is laughable to htink he was dismissed as "too fragile" to play the game. Manon Rhéaume, the first woman to play pro hockey. Larry Kwong, the first Chinese-Canadian in the league. This fascinating book includes photos of all the players and sidebars about others they inspired, including Jarome Iginla, Hayley Wickenheiser and Jordan Tootoo. It encourages young fans to consider hockey, and the meaning of determination, from a whole new perspective.

The Trailblazer by Gina Azzi Pdf

I always knew I’d marry my first everything, Declan Yaeger, the Southern boy with Irish roots. That was before he became my first heartbreak, a NHL superstar with a playboy reputation I no longer recognize. The summer he left our small, Tennessee town, to pursue his hockey dream is the summer my life changed. That was seven years ago, before he became a defenseman for the Boston Hawks. Before I became a hardened, desperate woman, trying to survive. To protect my grandfather's legacy, I agree to marry my oldest childhood friend, Henry. But when I enter the Church on my wedding day, the grey eyes piercing mine aren’t my fiancé’s. They’re Declan’s, the last person I expect to show up with an offer of his own. One I can’t refuse even though my heart should know better than to accept. Will my marriage to Declan heal the broken between us? Or are we destined to repeat the mistakes of our past?

Trailblazers by Judith Finlayson Pdf

"Trailblazers comprises the stories of thirty-six women who broke the mould; all are inspiring individualists who demanded the right to be equal participants in society. Often they succeeded by determination alone, smashing the stereotypes that defined what women could-or should-do. From Monique Begin, the first woman to be elected a Quebec Member of Parliament, to Justine Blainey who won the right to play hockey with her male peers, to Helen Lucas, a painter who overcame the restrictions of an immigrant background to create her inspirational and joyous art, each tells--in her own voice--the unique story of how she blazed a trail, knowingly or not, and became part of the force that created Canadian society as we know it.
