Buy the Ebook on Amazon
Even if you already have the paperback or got the book for free — please get the digital copy for $2.99.
We lowered it to the lowest price Amazon allows. Here's why it matters: buying the ebook makes your review a "verified review" — which carries more weight with Amazon's algorithm and is far more likely to stay live.

Teammates & Insiders
The Locker Room Witness
"I was there. Every story in this book happened exactly the way Matt described it. But reading it is completely different from living it — because Matt captures what was going on inside all of us that we never said out loud. I've been trying to describe that season to my kids for thirty years. I'm just giving them this book now."
COPYThe One Who Wept
"I didn't cry reading this. I wept. Three times. Matt Berrafato gave all of us back something we didn't know we'd lost."
COPYThe Opposing Player
"I played for the other team. I was on the ice that night. Reading this from the other side finally gave me a peace I've been carrying for fifty years. Thank you, Matt."
COPYHockey Community
The Coach
"Every coach should read this book. Not for the X's and O's — Matt barely covers those. For what Jim Meyer understood about building men, not just players. I'm buying twenty copies for my staff."
COPYThe Hockey Parent
"My son plays travel hockey. I read this in four days and handed it to him. He read it in three. We've had more meaningful conversations about what sport is actually for in the last month than in the previous four years combined."
COPYThe Non-Hockey Fan
"I've never watched a hockey game in my life. My husband kept saying 'you need to read this.' He was right. You don't need to know what icing means to understand what this book is about. It's about love. That's all."
COPYFaith & Resilience Readers
The Person of Faith
"I've never read a sports memoir where faith shows up this organically. It's not preached. It's lived. Matt's daily trips to the chapel during the championship run are the heartbeat of this book."
COPYThe Disability Advocate
"A man who was paralyzed at 17 went on to earn a master's degree, write a book, speak professionally, and build a nonprofit. If you know someone who's been told their best days are behind them — give them this story."
COPYThe Grief Carrier
"I lost my best friend in an accident when we were both young. I've never read a book that understood what that does to you — not the grief, but the responsibility you feel to live worthy of what they lost. Highlighted every other page."
COPYBusiness & Leadership Readers
The Business Leader
"I bought this as a hockey memoir. I finished it as a leadership manual. The way Jim Meyer managed adversity and culture after losing their best player — it's exactly what I needed to read this year. Applying it Monday."
COPYThe Team Builder
"Brotherhood isn't built in a retreat. It's built in a locker room at 6am when nobody's watching and everyone's exhausted. This book explains exactly how that happens — and why it lasts fifty years."
COPYGeneral Readers & Memoir Lovers
The Nostalgist
"This book smells like the 1970s in the best possible way. Ray Rayner. WGN. Chicago in winter. Every page made me ache for something I didn't realize I'd missed so much."
COPYThe Skeptic Converted
"My wife bought this. I eye-rolled. 700 pages about a high school hockey season from fifty years ago? I started reading at 9pm to be polite. I finished at 3am. Don't start this unless you're ready to finish it."
COPYThe Filmmaker
"Someone needs to make this movie. The moment when the player rolls into the championship arena on his first day out of the hospital, facing the same opponent who was there when he was injured — it's one of the greatest scenes I've encountered in any medium."
COPYThe English Teacher
"'Loose pucks' as a metaphor for life's unpredictability is introduced in the first pages and pays off completely by the last. This is a book built by a man who understands story. Assigning it in September."
COPYLegacy & Mission Voices
The Child of an Alumni
"My dad played hockey at Notre Dame. He died before this book came out. But these men's voices are in here, their stories are in here — and now I understand something about who my father was at seventeen that I never got to ask him. This book gave me my father back."
COPYThe SCI Reader
"I broke my neck at 22. I'm 41 now. This is the first book that got it right — not the medical part, but the emotional part. The question the author's teammate asked — 'Now what?' — is the only question that actually leads anywhere. Ordering copies for my rehabilitation center."
COPYThe Reunion Attendee
"I drove four hours for the 50th anniversary reunion. Worth every mile. These men — now in their late 60s — still have the chemistry of a championship team. The book explains why. Some bonds just don't break."
COPYThe Foundation Donor
"I finished the book, went straight to the Now What Foundation website, and donated. Then I called my sister — who is a quadriplegic — and told her about it. Buy the book. Support the foundation. Do both."
COPYThe Reader Who Didn't Expect to Care
"I'm from Georgia. I've never watched a hockey game. My grandfather handed me this and said 'just read it.' Writing this review in the airport with red eyes waiting for my flight home. The sport doesn't matter. The story matters. Read this book."
