Danny and his friends, Anita, Petou and Marcel, are typical prairie youngsters--hockey mad. Danny's disability means that he can't wear skates, but his leather moccasins work just fine and earn him the name "Moccasin Danny." When a town team is finally formed, the friends are overjoyed, but only Marcel is picked for the team. It's the biggest disappointment of Danny's life. Then, toward the end of the season, the goalie is injured and Danny is asked to step in. It's his chance to prove that even though he can't wear a pair of skates, he can still play the game.
Originally released over a decade ago, "The Moccasin Goalie" is the first of three books in a well-loved series that includes "The Final Game" and "Victory at Paradise Hill."
