About the Book

"Ice Time" is the first-person account of a high school hockey team's quest for the Massachusetts State championship, and the dedicated coaches, parents, and hockey-mad community that surround that team. It's also the story of a rookie assistant coach and first-time father returning to the defining moment in his life after twenty-five years, attempting to give back to his town and his team what he believes they gave to him. In a tale filled with action and suspense, Atkinson explores the nature of childhood friendships, the rewards of loyalty, and the value of competition.With emotional richness, Atkinson's takes his readers into ice rinks and diners and living rooms of a small New England town, and deep into the fascinating subculture of hockey and high school. From the divorced hell-raiser father who's coaching both his sons, to the 16-year-old girl taking her last, best shot at the boys' varsity team, "Ice Time" depicts the beauty of the world's fastest sport, as well as what it means to go home again.

Review :
"The more I read of Ice Time, the more I was hooked. Far more than just a chronicle of a high school hockey season, Jay Atkinson's book is an evocative, bittersweet, poetic journey of a grown man trying, as we all try, not to recapture youth but to remember the splendor of it." -- H. G. Bissinger, author of Friday Night Lights "Jay Atkinson, in only his second book, has taken himself over the top. For those who have played a sport, and -- curiously -- for those who never have, this ice-smooth prose will resonate in memory for a long time. About the prose: For the most part, it is quiet, but there is a subtext that renders father-son love and the hard price of victory, as well as the equally hard price of defeat. Somewhere in this book, you will find your heart joyously broken." -- Harry Crews, author of A Childhood: The Biography of a Place
