I highly recommend this book. A must read for anyone that has played,
and never made it. Great insight on how Senior hockey was in the late
80's and early 90's. Those were great days.

I went through this book like a Teabag!
Seriously though, I've never read anything like this. Excellent story
telling and to have a personal connection makes it even better!

Read this book in one sitting. Great way to spend an afternoon. I
really enjoyed the glimpse into the hockey player’s world. Real
people, real events! Kudos to “Teabag” for leaving his daughter this
legacy!

This book was great! Brought back so many memories! Growing up with
hockey in a small town in Saskatchewan, Canada. Nothing better than
that! This book made me laugh and cry. Definitely recommend reading!

Once you start reading you can't put it down. It is so very easy to
read you can't help but continue on to the next chapter...and so
on...and so on.... Very funny and relatable to anyone who has played
any minor sport. Thanks for sharing your journey Jerry!

I played hockey with Jerry and his book gives you an insight into
every young hockey players dream. It brings together the people you
have met and the experiences you have had that allow you to look back
and smile.
Great job Teabag!

A must read. Well written great story teller. The trials and
tribulations of a late comer to hockey who made it a lifetime passion.
Title of the book could have also been Have Pads Will Travel.

Even for those who didn't play hockey; this is an enjoyable and
relatable true story of Jerry's experiences navigating through
politics and everyday dilemmas. I thoroughly enjoyed how easy this was
to read and how humourous Jerry is when describing his journey. I can
see myself reading this many more times and recommend it for when you
need a good laugh or inspiration!

This story of a hockey nobody was an entertaining read. It got me
rooting for a guy I didn't know about, on teams I've never even heard
of. But the story of playing street hockey as a kid with aspirations
of playing pro hockey resonates with a many Canadian kids. The fact
that "Teabag" went out and accomplished what he did, with his "uh-huh"
resume was an underdog story that you can only root for, especially
when contrasted to current day where hockey camps, power skating,
skill clinics, expensive gear, and organization politics play bigger
influences in how far a player makes it. This was an inspiring story
about putting yourself out there, and living the dream.

His writing style feels like he's standing in the room with you,
telling his stories. It reminds me of how people talked when I was
growing up, but with a descriptive flavor that reminds me of dialogue
in HBO's Deadwood. The situations he explains, and how he explains
them makes what probably could have been mundane to any onlooker,
sound like some of the most hilarious and interesting stories you have
ever heard. I cannot put it down. Easy read, and so much fun!
