ABOUT THE BOOK
Best-selling author Matthew Berrafato guides us through an amazing true story of the unprecedented and thrilling hockey season during his senior year at Notre Dame High School in Niles, Illinois.
The 1975-76 Ice Dons overcame seemingly insurmountable odds after their star player suffered a broken neck against their archrival less than halfway through the season. Three and a half months later, Berrafato and his resilient teammates capture the state championship against the same team on the night their injured teammate watches from a wheelchair, unable to move his limbs from the chest down.
Loose Pucks is a captivating story that offers the reader an interactive experience unlike anything that has ever been published. Matt Berrafato and co-author Mark Meyer lead you on an inspiring and heartwarming adventure of perseverance, fortitude, and commitment. Fifty years later, the events and exchanges between teammates and coaches will trigger hair-raising chills, outbursts of pure laughter, and tears of joy!
The authors have pioneered a unique interactive experience by engaging readers with more than 50 QR codes strategically placed throughout the book. The QR codes link to videos of classmates, friends and families of our teammates, coaches and opposing players who share fascinating insights and anecdotes of each story as it’s being told.

You will get to know and understand the unique hockey brotherhood that developed among teammates as well as the overarching brotherhood of being a Notre Dame Don.
There are as many off-ice stories as there are on ice, stories that provide the secret ingredients to the unique brotherhood that allowed our team to triumph over tragedy!

Mark Meyer
Sports Journalist
MEET MARK
Mark Meyer has been sharing stories as a writer, reporter, editor, and broadcaster for the past four decades.
In Lansing, Mich., he served as sports editor at the Lansing State Journal during back-to-back Final Four appearances by the Spartan men’s basketball team (2009 & 2010), and a national championship by the Spartan men’s hockey team in 2007.
He was an associate editor for Daily Racing Form in both Lexington, Ky., and Chicago, and considers watching the 1994 Breeders’ Cup in-person at Churchill Downs as one of his most thrilling moments in sport.
His on-ice contribution to the Dons' 1975-76 state championship season as a freshman was limited to a handful of games. Off the ice, however, the close relationship with his father–the outspoken, unrelenting, and often animated head coach Jim Meyer–will take readers inside the locker room and classroom for unique insight into tales of perseverance, pride, sacrifice and success.
