His commitment is put to the test when he injures his hand in a trapping accident, endangering not only his life but also jeopardizing his chances of remaining on the hockey team. Despite these challenges, Danny perseveres to win the respect of his teammates, discovering that faithfulness ultimately pays off. Off the ice, Danny and his friends learn that consistently living for the Lord, regardless of what others may say or do, truly makes a difference.

Listening is often hard to do, especially when you want to do something that you should not. Danny and Rick witness to Ken Meyer about accepting Jesus as his Savior, but Ken doesn't listen. He says he has plenty of time to do that later. Ken finds himself in trouble again and again because of his stubborn rebellion. A dog nearly drowns in icy water; a fishing boat almost sinks, and Ken runs his boat into a dock. Ken doesn't have "plenty of time later" to make things right with Jesus. Instead, his careless ways catch up with him, and tragedy strikes.

Like many a Canadian kid, Stephen Smith was up on skates first thing as a boy, out in the weather chasing a puck and the promise of an NHL career. Back indoors after that didn’t quite work out, he turned to the bookshelf. That’s where, without entirely meaning to, he ended up reading all the hockey books. There was Crunch and Boom Boom, Slashing! and High Stick; there was Max Bentley: Hockey’s Dipsy-Doodle Dandy, Blue Line Murder, and Nagano, a Czech hockey opera. There was Blood on the Ice, Cracked Ice, Fire On Ice, Power On Ice, Cowboy On Ice, and Steel On Ice. In Puckstruck, Smith chronicles his wide-eyed and sometimes wincing wander through hockey’s literature, language, and culture, weighing its excitement and unbridled joy against its costs and vexing brutality. In exploring his own lifelong love of the game, hoping to surprise some sense out of it, he sifts hockey’s narratives in search of hockey’s heart, what it means and why it should distress us even as we celebrate its glories. On a journey to discover what the game might have to say about who we are as Canadians, he seeks to answer some of its essential riddles.
