The Puck Hog Paperback – October 1, 2010

I’m from Syracuse, NY and watched the author as news anchor so bought the book for my 7 year old grandson who is now playing hockey. He loved the book. It has a great story line for young hockey players to learn from.

My nephew loves this book. Got him puck hog 2!He even named his pond hockey team the puck hogs lol

This is a great book to engage sport loving children. Thank you Christie Casciano.

for the love of the game. Thanks

Another fun read about Squirt age hockey.

Great book!

he Puck Hog is a children's story set in Syracuse, New York. The tale centers around a youth hockey team which has a very talented player, a player who knows he's better than the other kids on the team. As such, he will not acknowledge that hockey is a team sport.Casciano succeeds in effectively telling how cooperative play can overcome individual standouts when engaging in a team sport. A lesson that some kids need to learn, and others need to have reinforced. The accompanying artwork is well done and enhances the story, while the guest appearance by unnamed members of the local minor league hockey team adds to the tale rather than detracting from it.Miss Casciano's biography states that she is a newscaster in the Syracuse market. I would assume she enjoys ratings success, as she demonstrates the ability to tell a story clearly, quickly, and enjoyably.RATING: 5 stars.

This is a great family book. My sons, 12 and 13 loved the story. I could not read a page without them talking about their team and experiences. Turn off your TV and ignore your phone or tablet for a while, and read this book with your youth ice hockey players. It sparked tons of sharing and memories in our house.
