This book is more than a sports drama; it’s a human story about resilience, second chances, and the battle to overcome inner demons.

Steph West’s “The Third Period” … the teammates feel like brothers, and every minute on the ice is visceral. It’s a ride you don’t want to leave.
— Jesse Boone
I’m not usually one for sports books but…Mike’s struggle with his injury and everything falling apart after that was pretty brutal to read but in a good way.
— Patricia Morgan
