Stand Out: The True Story of Hockey Hero Ajay Baines

Hockey legend and diabetes awareness advocate, Ajay Baines, teamed up with author Sean Campbell to launch an illustrated children’s book about his life. A hockey prodigy growing up, Ajay battled a diabetes diagnosis in his teens to go on to captain the Kamloops Blazers, score the winning goal in the Calder Cup for the Hamilton Bulldogs (Montreal’s farm team at the time), and lead some of the best hockey players of all time. This book is beautifully illustrated by Lana Lee.

This is a fun and fascinating story created by two childhood friends. With strong themes of sportsmanship, inclusion, perseverance, and leadership, this book will be a hit with kids of all ages.

A percentage of sales from the book will go to Diabetes Canada and the American Diabetes Association.
