Red-Line Blues (Sports Stories) - Softcover
Lee comes from a family of NHL hockey players, but he's no hotshot--he plays because he loves the game. His coaches, however, spend all their time with the team's stars and leave ordinary players warming the bench.
When the coaches' determination to win puts Lee in hospital, however, he's forced to take a stand against their recklessness.
Red-Line Blues is the story of one player's fight for what's important in sport: fair play and love of the game.

Review:
"Ý"Red-Line Blues"¨, part of the "Sports Series," is another fine entry that any middle-schooler with an interest in hockey will enjoy." -- Mary Ellen Monahan "Highlands Regional Library Cooperative Book Evaluation Program"
"Using a combination of real and fictitious newspaper excerpts, Camilla Rivers begins each chapter with the story of the "great uncles" who were brothers that actually played competitive hockey in the 1920's and 1930's. This approach adds a unique dimension to Red Line Blues, making it a more insightful read. ... Rivers gently introduces the reader to the competitive and violent underworld of hockey without delving too deeply into this area. The problems are apparent, but the story is not thrown into darkness because of them. Consequently, the book is a fairly light read. Well paced and well written, this work is certain to entertain the young hockey fan."
