More Hockey Stories: A Novel Perspective: Conversations with El Gordo

Retired NHL players Billy Sinatra and Malcolm Gordon Steven (better known as ＂Keeper＂) have both returned to relatively normal lives after their controversial Stanley Cup win, with Billy now coaching minor-league hockey in Moose Jaw and Keeper working as his team’s goaltending coach. But their ordinary lives are about to take an unexpected turn when an up-and-coming player from Slovakia, Rhobe Otguy, is brought to their attention. Although Rhobe’s hockey skills are undeniable, if he hopes to make it to the NHL, he’ll have to overcome both the language barrier and his persistently bizarre social limitations, which not only alienate his teammates but have an investigative journalist questioning what planet he’s even from.

With narration and commentary from El Gordo, with whom the characters occasionally share conversation and pun-filled banter, More Hockey Stories: A Novel Perspective-Conversations with El Gordo is the entertaining and cleverly named sequel to Hockey Stories: A Novel Perspective-Conversations with El Gordo. It will bring its readers right back to their favourite local pub, sitting, sipping, and sharing amusing memories and anecdotes about the world of hockey-both on the ice and off-with all its fun, comradery, and sometimes unbelievable drama.
